The test I usually offer during a dinner date is last years International Baccalaureate test. I feel that the SAT was too easy for my past few dates, so I found a slightly more obscure academic programme.

I like liberated women I find them to be much more fun and interesting.

I hate having people pay for me-- I have my own money-- but I *do* love it when they offer.

Well I could say I'm anti traditional myself so I see where you are coming from. As long don't expect everyone to cosign with your way do what works for you.

There's a test that all players take before going into the NFL draft. I can't remember the name off hand, but it's a crazy test. Look that up and take it once or twice and see how you fair lol.

I don't really care what other folks do since I don't have to live there lives.

Yep. ^^^

The examples aren't actually tests. To test someone implies forethought.

And doing that is pretty sh*tty.

Communication is key in relationships. If you want someone to do something, tell them.

Woman says that she had no idea they were going "too quickly" as it was the man who was the initiator in the intimate situation.

In this scenario, was the test valid? What do you think of this?

Dude's either a weirdo or he likes to play head games.

Either way, good riddance.

Life is too short to deal with such immature nonsense.

Hmm, I actually feel the same way as she does. I will offer, but if he accepts, it tells me something about him. I've found that those men are often from the "women want to be treated equal, so I'll treat them like a man" tribe.

However, I don't see it as a test so much as a preference.

I always offer to pay for courtesy reasons. At the same time I love it when a woman is willing to step up and show she wants a partnership not a purchaser. It is so attractive.
