Had to rep you!

Huh? I thought Patti Stranger's rule was no sex before monogamy. Which makes sense.

Funny how women bring up that real men will pay for a date but will those same real women cook him a home cooked meal? Will she submit to him? A REAL WOMAN would

It's like this:

when they're out on the date, he's to be a traditional, 1950s man romancing his love

At home, he's to be a meek, subservient 21st century stooge who bows down to her every whim.


Sorry if this is stereotypical, I had to exaggerate to put across my point.

I don't submit ... But my last BF and I would often take turns cooking dinner for each other when he would get laid off from his construction job. And when he was working, he was the first to say let's go out for a steak. And he insisted on paying.

I totally agree that you should split the costs on dates. COME ON girls... this is 2012. If I was a guy, I wouldn't put up with it....

I also don't like the idea of the guy paying for everything.... too much of a prostitution undertone.

There - I said it. To each his/her own.

And a lot of women of my generation don't think twice about it. So I'm saying I would probably be happy paying even most of the time (even all of the time if she had trouble affording it).

If you're saying I should suck it up for a woman who EXPECTS this kind of princess treatment, then I would personally rather not, and keep on looking, because I know for a fact there are plenty of women who are NOT like this.
What kind of a woman do you think is going to love being with a miser?

But anyway, you know damn well I couldn't care less. I've told you plenty of times. It'll happen when it happens.
I set a date of restriction because I didn't want to be hopping around from man to man handing out sex like mini kit kats. Now if the next woman is doing that, I don't care. I'm not her. (there were some other reasons, I don't care to go into at this moment). The one woman I know did break the 90 day sex contract. The other one didn't and they broke up before it got to that point anyways. Mine was null & void upon marriage -- And yes I damn well know, LOL.

Yes that was me. And I know it's peculiar and that's a shame. Oh well.
