Honestly thanks. I was starting to think I was being a cheapskate.

I think it speaks volumes about the calibre of women some men choose to date. I'm an RN, all my friends work unless they are at home with a baby. I simply don't know any women who don't have a job except welfare types who come in to the Emergency Department, or the wives of wealthy men.

Well somebody is giving these women money, or Judge Judy wouldn't be on the air.

There is no general rule of thumb.

Some men desire, and can afford, the role of sugar daddy. Others have no interest. It's a matter of personal taste.

I don't think it's about not having a job. I think some women live above their means and expect their boyfriends to make up the difference. "Hinting" about bills being due? That's just being dumb with money.

Never. She needs to be responsible for her own financial obligations.

I never thought about it that way. Shows you how much of a different mentality I have about money. I take pride in my ability to manage my paycheck, I'd be totally embarrassed asking for cash because I screwed up and bought too many pairs of shoes that week.

What's the general rule of thumb for giving your girlfriend money?
Bills are always due. Why the need to drop hints? lol I guess this post assumes that the man makes more money than the woman, which obviously isn't always the case. I don't think there's anything wrong with a guy giving money to a woman if that's what he wants to do. It's your call.

What you do in your relationship, with your money is your business. If you don't feel comfortable for any reason don't do it. And that doesn't go just for girlfriends, that is any relationship, buddy, family, whomever. If it is not a need for your child or wife, then there is no timetable for you to be obligated to give anyone any money.

10 or 29 bucks once in a while is acceptable but hair done nails and all that crap screams gold digger.

This is another reason so many women are single honestly alot of them feel entitled because they're attractive to be spoiled.

I got a friend who got 10 grand from her boyfriend to start her business. Lol
