When the time came for her to the pay bill for our restaurant meal (I was earning only $4/hr correcting Physics homework for a few hours per week, while she had a steady part-time job at the campus bookstore, so it was fair for her to pay for everything), she tipped the wait-staff only 10%.

Such a cheapskate! So I dumped her!

You made a woman pay for your food and you’re calling her a cheapskate? I’ve never in my life asked a date to pay for anything and I’d throw myself off of a bridge before I’d ask one to.

You didn't notice how utterly implausible my story was?!

I essentially did nothing more than take the original story of this article and reverse the sexes of the parties involved.

Any person of normal intelligence would have read my story and understood that it was pure sarcasm.

And any normal man would have asked only, "What?! She was nice and attractive looking and apparently willing - and you dumped her because of that?!"

No normal, red-blooded man dumps a woman under those circumstances because she is a cheapskate. Only women do that.
