That’s how you can tell?

If she has rings on her fingers, she’s a slut?

If the Chad cancelled at the last minute it’s because a chick hotter than the deposit seeker has become available. She moves back in the line. Chad will have sex with his roster of women in their order of hotness, hottest first.

the one time i ever spent a $100, that was at sundown, with a nice dinner, (no additional hotel fee - i lived in one of them), anfd celebrated the sun rising by the picture window, looking out on the city below, and then breakfast in!

( this was before the tiurn of the millenium)

Yup—she gets to deduct ten bucks per body for her body count.

If it is more than ten bodies she has to put up the appropriate deposit at $10 per overage.

Lol.

First Mate and I have been married for over 30 years and in all that time I never gave a thought to what women’s makeup cost ... until about 5 years ago. Now, she does not wear a lot of makeup, no face plaster with pounds of powder, etc - a little eye liner, lipstick, and a little blush (is that a thing?). One day we were at a walking mall and she asked to stop in at Ulta (Sephora? I don’t remember) where she proceeded to drop $90 on a small container (6 in dia, 1 in thick) of something. I about had a cow but she said that it was on sale and the container would last for over a month.

Now extrapolate that to what some women plaster on their faces and then add in shampoo, conditioner, body wash, shaving cream, etc. It must really add up.

I’m not defending the Aussie chick’s suggestion but I can see her point about the expense of cancellations.

My point was subtle. Why isn’t a first date a low makeup affair? A coffee shop conversation? A walk in the park? A visit to an art gallery? You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars to look good for something simple.

Later on, if things progress and they go to a formal gala, that would warrant full,hair, manicure and makeup.

Good point. I don’t want to discover the person in question has a Wankel Engine.

As an old neighbor who was ex Navy used to say, she must think it’s lined with gold and it ain’t and they all got one.

Pass on this kind of woman, too much narcissism and drama, just not worth the aggravation.

That third one there looks hot. it reminds me of the "spin round" song.

All I know is that to me
You look like you're tons of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I

We would talk about women suffering from “GPS”: Golden ——- Syndrome, the mental delusion that men should jump through hoops to get access to her well worn equipment.

For $100 at Kings Cross you can get a guaranteed reward.

A tinder date ain’t gonna make it worth the money....

Will $100 get a course of Ozempic?

I met mine 47 years ago at a lounge I did not want to go to.

Buddy and I were bar hopping and were pretty lubricated, I said I’m going home, got to get up early for work. He brow beat me in to hitting one more. Met my future wife of 47 years there. She did not want to give me her phone #. I persevered, and here I am. ha ha
