Woman Tells AP: 'The recession is almost becoming an excuse' for men not buying women dinner on dates

Remember that bullshit about woman's lib and equal rights?

Buy your own dinner.

I think the recession is a better excuse than "look, I've got a high speed internet connection and all the porn I can handle, so this coffee date is just to see if there's any chance you can beat that and would actually be worth taking out to dinner in the future."

If he can't afford to take her to lunch — nothing fancy, just a casual place to sit and get to know each other over a sandwich — then he probably shouldn't be dating, she said.

I wonder how women would feel if some guy said "If she can't afford to take care of herself - nothing special, just a flat stomach with slender legs and no lose skin hanging down - then she probably shouldn't be dating".

Wouldn't the expectation of your meal being paid for be is wrong as the expectation that you have sex with him after he pays for it.

That being said, I pay for dinner and women won't sleep with me.

She can pick at her food in awkward silence at McDonald's just as easily as she can not eat at the newest trend.

Hoora:

"The relationship isn't based on how much money he makes," she said. "It's who he is and what's in his heart that matters to me."

Feels so rare to see that in practice. Love it.

This is why I always carry a few hard boiled eggs in my pocket.

"You're hungry? Here. I've got some salt here too if you want. Sorry it's not in packages"

Here's a bigmac, now suck my cock.

Time to learn how to cook, guys. This will be useful in more than one way.

NO, I DO NOT MEAN CANNIBALISM. Jesus tap-dancing fuck.

Skip dating, go clubbing. One involves mutual desire, the other involves females like these.

"The recession is almost becoming an excuse," said Braverman, 35, of New York City. "Men don't want to take the initiative, suggesting something fun that is inexpensive. It's more well, 'I can't afford to take you out for a meal, let's keep it brief.' Unfortunately, a lot of times chemistry needs time to develop."

Um.. the implication here isn't necessarily what the article implies it to be. Before the 'excuse' bit she complains about a 'lack of initiative.

Long ago I decided that if a woman pulled this kind of childish crap, she wasn't worth my time. It's actually worked out really well.

The ones that expect you to pay and be chivalrous while touting their feminist virtues are selfish hypocrites anyway.

It's a good excuse, IMO. Prostitution is an expensive hobby that can't be afforded when one's job is threatened.
