I think it makes a lot of difference if it's the guy or the girl who is cheap.
Cheap guy = disaster that the gal will probably not put up with. It ain't fair, but a guy's attractiveness is at least to some degree bound up with his ability to be a provider, even for a gal who is wealthy. That said, a cheap guy could cook a meal at home for his date, which need not cost much to be good. And/or provide other low cost but high value experiences. But they have to be high-value experiences.
Cheap gal = no problemo
Agree. A guy being cheap is just a no-no generally speaking. He won't get too far with women. A girl being cheap, well, a girl can't be cheap if she's not expected to open her wallet while dating or in a relationship.
When I say cheap I mean someone who doesn't have little to no money or doesn't like paying up or spoiling you.
Regardless of who it is, what has been your opinion and experience on dating someone who is cheap?
A cheap person with a non-cheap person is a stressful, unwise situation in dating.
Could it be that you mean dating a person who is temporarily low on funds, but and it is necessary to be thrifty on dates, but once that situation rights itself, things will return to something closer to normalcy?
Or do you mean someone who has the money and wants to be stingy with it when it comes to his woman?
I am not attracted to cheap men, and I am nowhere close to a gold digger. For me the cheapness will cause problems because they will be unwilling to take me to places where I am currently taking myself, anyway. In my view, a person who overspends has emotional issues; but then so does the person who is very cheap and won't spend when it is appropriate to do so.

So....they have a lot of money then...and they just don't like to spend it? Is that what you are saying?
I don't really have any experience with men like that.
I don't think I've ever dated someone cheap. Even in college when we were both poor, I never considered a person "cheap" if they were being responsible with their money.
My sister's boyfriend is cheap in my opinion. He won't go anywhere where you have to pay to park. He won't pay the $10 entrance fee to visit a National Park. Valet parking? Forget it!
My sister doesn't seem to mind, but I'm glad she's dating him and not me.
How can a woman be cheap if you are expected to be the one taking care of expenses?

She doesn't mind because she pays for the $10 parking entrance fee, right?

This is a problem for me. I'm a traditional gal. I date traditional men who, typically, will not allow me to pay for things. But I don't require spoiling either. There is a difference between living within your means/looking for the best deals and being cheap. I can't do cheap.
