I didn't say my money and her looks are the only reason we are together, but I wouldn't date her if she was fat and she probably wouldn't date me if I was poor.

I've kept my indiscretions pretty discrete and very limited with this girl, but probably not. OTOH, she did say I could bring other girls home if I shared, although she was probably not serious.

I can be friends with fat girls; I just can't date them.

Couldn't rep you, but absolutely! I'm only using the word "system" to go along with this tread topic. lol

Think of it in the same terms as an employer telling people, "haha, I can treat you any way I want and pay you as little as I want and I'll always have people wanting to work for me even if you don't". Does that sound like an employer you'd want to work for? Not me.
It's not about me being entitled. I'm simply acknowledging the facts of life. It's not like I go out with men and say these things. I'm saying them in a thread about who "should" pay for the first date and the reality is that often times women CAN find a man willing to treat them on a date. If I were entitled, I would never even think to pay for any portion of any date, and that's not the case.

If a man says that "Men can easily find a woman to have sex with them before marriage, so it's unlikely that they'll wait around for a woman who wants to wait until after marriage" does that mean that he's acting entitled to sex? Or is he just acknowledging the reality of what goes on in the world? I don't see the problem with me stating things that about dating that we both know to be true.

The way it was stated before made it seem like men should always pay for dates and if he didn't want to pay for dates, then the woman would find a man who would pay for dates because they're lined up around the corner. That's the way it came across and that just sounds classless.
I never said that men "should" always pay for dates or that women "control" the dating scene and can easily have men "lined up around the corner." I'm saying that if a man doesn't want to pay for a date, that's certainly his choice and the woman might be cool with that. But there's also a good chance that his date can find one or more men who would be willing to pay for the date. Especially the highly attractive women that some of you claim not to be that into, but even the average women too. Once again, that's just reality. It just sounds to me like you're resentful of this particular "privilege" that women have in the dating world so you're getting annoyed that I'm pointing it out, but that's not my fault. Not everything in life is equal.

Me too. More specifically, I like to have sex with pretty girls who aren't prostitutes, make their own money, and pay for their own things. They do exist, I promise.

Its been a month since I've been on a date so I am wondering tomorrow is a movie, walk around, and dinner, should I pay for 1 of these or just wait and see if this guy pays for everything or what to do?

What is the proper and right thing to do in today's world?
There is no "payment system" to follow, seriously if you asked you pay if he asks he pays.
This is not a business deal or a monthly debt it is a date.
