There was a song about a girl just like her.

Slings, would it be alright with you if we used one of your threads as the December Undead Thread?
We didn’t have suitable threads lately as the trolls have avoided posting threads... and a wacky one just may suit us.

These guys are idiots or the girl is putting out. No way would I go on 5 dates with someone if I don’t see mutual interest.

For a first online date I always start somewhere reasonably cheap ($20-40pp) and don’t pay if the girl rushes and wants to run right after food. Just before getting the check, I just ask “so what do you want to do after?” If she wants to run and doesn’t have a good excuse, she’s obviously not interested.

Go Dutch and if she whines you say “this wasn’t a date, we’re just hanging out”. If she tries to make a scene in a restaurant you’re known, just cut your loses.

Woman takes advantage of man? Say it isn’t so!

Doesn’t anyone know any parasitic males? I had a very modest paycheck in the ‘70’s and 80’s, and encountered many men who wanted a free ride.
I thank the Creator every day for husband 2.0.

I knew women that would go out for a dinner date knowing the date was someone they would not want to be with. Welcome to the dating scene.

I’m glad I’m married.

This has been going on for thousands of years. Caveat emptor.

I know a woman, a pretty high-ranking executive in my company now, who told how, in her young, post-college broke days she’d do the same thing. Except she wouldn’t eat much of the dinner, and would then take the leftovers home to her boyfriend.

A New York woman is being scrutinized and praised after people learned that she used a dating website to obtain $1,200 a month in free meals. According to Business Insider, 23-year-old Jessica Sporty was deep in debt. Sporty had difficulties living on her $45,000 annual salary after spending nearly $1,500 a month in rent, paying her credit card bill, and buying food.

The answer should have been to move away from overpriced-overtaxed NYC. She could earn a comparable salary elsewhere without a state income tax and half the rental costs.

Why is there even welfare in NYC? Should I feel sorry for the people who live in mansions in California on the coast and then lose them to mudslides or fires and they cry how they have lost everything because they couldn't afford the insurance on their deluxe property?

Move where you can AFFORD to live.

This thread sort of took a weird turn towards the end but after reading through all the posts, not one person questioned why on a dating site, the man would be required to pay for the woman as well.

All these women yapping about women's lib and how they need equal treatment and all that but all of that gets tossed to the side when a man offers to take them out for dinner. They just seem to assume that the man will pay. The women libbers also never complain about not having to register for the draft and they never fight with the man over who gets to deal with the overflowing toilet either, but I digress.

Now I can see the man being expected to pay for dinner if he actively courts a woman in order to win her affections. But we are talking about an online dating site, in which both parties are presumably hard up. In this case, protocol would seem to dictate that at least for the first date, that both man and woman share in the dinner bill equally.

She is the rational argument for hating women.
