my personal experience... i don't try to act like I have more than I do (money)... if you try to project "money" expect to pay (due to your presenting as "rich")... *shrug* 
p.s. good topic... I too am very curious as to how others think/handle this.... 
$60?? You can't even sneeze in this town for $60!! Whether I pay or my date pays (and we do alternate), the average dinner, drinks, and some kind of activity date is roughly $180-250. Most cover charges for clubs range from $20-$50 for VIP. I don't need, or desire, the type of night mentioned above every week, but at least once a month, I have to get my "Vegas" on (even if it's just with the girls or I am 5th wheel with my friends)! With San Fran, LA, and Vegas all within an easy hour's reach, I can't skip rock star nights.
If we just go to the movies, I'd rather stay home, rent it, and cook. I love making Hollywood Teas (like a Long Island Tea) and hanging out in shorts and tank tops all night too. I agree with Lilith that dates don’t have to cost anything. Hiking, biking, wine tasting (nominal), walking the dogs at the lake, etc, is great fun. Pack some food, and we're good to go! If the guy is 'presentable' enough ( ) I also like to have friends over -- or go to their homes -- for BBQing, Rock Band parties, etc.
When I want to do something REALLY expensive, I invite and pay. I would never expect anyone that I am not seriously involved with to whisk me off to Cabo for a 4 day weekend or go to an out of state NFL game. If I want to go, and I have the funds for both then I buy and fly! Back to your question: I think anyone should be able to date whether they have a job or not. Unless two people become seriously involved, and as long as the 'said' person is financially independent then it's not the other person's business whether they have a job or not! If the jobless person becomes an albatross ... well ... then send them on their way. 
I adore dating and doing extravagant things but I certainly don’t reflect that onto the person I am dating, and I also watch for the red flags if a guy starts to take advantage of me. I am no sugar momma!  
$180-250 dollars!? For one night? I'm not cheap, but seriously, I can take a girl to a theme park or out skiing AND to dinner at a really nice restauraunt for $140 including booze. But then I don't go clubbing so I'm not sure what that tends to cost. Just seems high to me. |

I'll confess. I'm breaking out on my chin. I feel like it's the size of Mt. Etna. I don't want anyone to see me except with my normal peaches and cream complexion. That's not a habit unless you hide out inside until its passed. Hope not, that could be a few days. And I feel your pain! Why we're told as teenagers that zits go away with adulthood is beyond me because it obviously isn't true. At least I can grow a beard to hide it... people might look at you funny if you tried that. |

Homecoming
|

There is so much I want to say but simply don't have the words. The air is electric. Each moment that passes by both stretches on for miles and flashes by in an instant. Ten years I've been away. Ten years I've yearned for the shores of home and been unable to reach them. But that wait is drawing to a close. No longer will I be stuck among the dirt and desolation. No longer will I have to struggle with a culture I cannot adapt to. I am finally going to breathe where my heart beats. My worries at setting out on this journey with next to nothing fall away at the thought of simply being there. I bear no illusions about living the perfect life.. indeed things will most likely be far more difficult. But challenges are so much easier to overcome when they are of a variety you choose. More than anything else I'm looking forward to the journey. Before the inevitable problems come in, before the yearning for what was invariably brought on by change. Not just change, massive change. A shift in the tectonic plates of my very fate. But before that there will be nothing but me, the open road, and the promise of what lies to come. An arduous journey to test my endurance and mettle. A symbolic battle I would gladly fight a hundred times over to be able to say something I have not felt for almost half my life. I am home |

Calling all cooks and eaters

I can't cook for beans, but Smith's has these generic brand ravioli that are absolutely amazing. Blue bag, "best quality" or something like that. Have yet to find someone that didn't agree with me on this one. Best part is, throw 'em in boiling water and they're done in five minutes. |

The " nice " ( also known as ' clingy ') guys are all over there in the corner feeling sorry for themselves. Hey, not all of us our sitting in our pity pots. I like to blame terminal shyness and social retardation. |

I choose to be shot by a gorgeous naked woman and for it to be done as an innuendo. And to view it in slow motion if possible. |

I'd let her choose, so long as its something where we can talk. If I had to pick the activity, I'd probably just want to go driving. Or riding, since I wouldn't want her to feel like I was abducting her, lol. |

I don't think its the number that's important. You can never have enough. If I had an entire roomfull and did laundry every week I'd still manage to run out when I needed to find some to wear.

I don't know... maybe we can set up a power plant like in the matrix. The two of them could probably spawn enough to power the world for the rest of our lifetimes. Sure its morally objectionable, but it would shut Greenpeace up |

Slurpee
Oh man, I lived in Santa Fe until about a year ago and they didn't have 7-11. So no slurpee's. Only the far inferior slush puppies. When we moved down to Rio I was getting a slushee every day for a while. |
