I ve had some bad experiences with eastern european men being extremely cheap. I dont think I will ever date them again. The ones I met are super tacky, but sex was good, but I couldnt put up with the cheap part.

I have a list.

1. There is no love lost between my SIL and me. One year she sent me plus-sized granny underwear. Honestly, if I had had an ass to fit them, I would have laughed it off. She's a complete b****, but there is a sense of humor there. That's about it, though.

2. My grandmother once sent me a second-hand swimsuit for Christmas. I was 12; it was designed for someone 65 years old.

(What's with the old lady stuff?)

3. My husband got me a scanner. It's really what he wanted.

4. The next year he got me this God-awful frog ring. It was bigger than my finger. The following year, he got me a necklace to match it and that's when I had to tell him the truth. "But, you like frogs," was his response. Poor guy. He should have just gotten me a real frog.

5. When I was a kid, I gave my brother a rock. I got him something else, but the rock is what everyone remembers. One of these days, I'm going to send him another rock.

Hey I am a very economical person and some may consider me cheap and that isn't very nice at all.

Being smart with your money and being cheap are not the same...

My BIL bought the Flobee off the television because he did not want pay a hairdresser to cut his hair And he is a doctor...he can afford a haircut
