oh i knew that. my comment wasn't directed to you, but was rather a general comment to the entire thread

except the part about being able to find asian for much cheaper!

I think it is safe to say, that the OP thinks that if he spends a lot of money on a woman, he expects to get laid. And that if she doesn't put out, she just not worth it. I really don't believe that he's looking for anything meaningful like the rest of us are. But that's just my take on it; I've been known to be wrong before.

I don't think you are far off with that thought.

I dunno

on my last date we shared a banana split for about 5 bucks

oh and somebody just reminded me of our date to the bookstore where we shared a pot of tea and read to each other for less than ten bucks


it's not how much you spend but how much you enjoy each others company

Generally I have never felt compelled to have sex with someone based on how much cash they threw around in front of me on a date. Some men might feel entitled based on that alone and if that is the case, they wont be hearing from me again and what they think is my phone number will in fact be the local pet cemetery downtown here.

That explains a LOT.

I've always wondered about that. Care to give a rough breakdown?

Just curious, seriously.

yes, i can afford a date. i would say anything around the $500. dollar mark is ok.

Well I think it will vary but women will generally get a new outfit and shoes for a date, maybe some accessories like jewelry also. Depending on where you shop, a nice full outfit like that can range from $100-$200. Then some ladies might get their nails or hair done. It really depends. I know some dates Ive gone ALL out and others, eh, I might brush my hair and shower.

Im not sure what the average man spends in prep for a date?

I've never bought an outfit just for a date, if that's what you're asking. Shower and basic hygiene probably cover it. I've done flowers before, but I've been told that's a bad idea, so no more dead plants.

No I wasnt addressing men, but women. Sorry if that was confusing. I dont know what the average man does honestly.

I have plaid for dates...and Knox® Gelatin for doing my hair. *

*I no longer have to write a disclaimer as long as I put the ® in its respective place.

I have to agree with that statement... plus the time to get ready... plus the fact that I usually end up paying for part if not all of the evening... among the reasons I hate dating

Sometimes it's worth it though, right?

ummm I think that is a trick question

Forget the date.....give me the cash and drop me off at the mall. I'll meet ya later!!!

Anything for you sexy

Perhaps I use a different approach.....

I cook better than ANY fast food place and many restaurants. It is way cheaper to prep a picnic style thing...better tasting and far more romantic. We have some really nicely done sculpture parks in our down town area. Plus there are several art galleries that don't cost a dime. They are quiet and uncrowded which allows for slow walks and easy conversation to allow me to know if I want to bother dropping alot of money on future dates. But, my favorite place to take a date is the zoo. Just take a digital camera and have fun.

The ladies seem to like the change of pace as well......don't get me wrong...we WILL stop for some drinks along the way!
