So, the women pay for most of your dates, do they?

Not when he dates Arm wrestler champion !

This is odd, but I've never felt the urge that I *have* to well 'put out' if the man pays. Thinking back, I've had men take me for many, many dates without feeling like I have to do anything besides be charming...

But, yes women should clearly take the sexual initiative a bit more. For men, I think there is the fear of it being taken as too aggressive, not liking the woman for her mind, just her body(as mentioned, the Waverly's of the world) , or even in some cases 'making the move' can be taken as assault...

That's why I use the 'Vivian-patented let-him-know-you're-interested' method, and all is fine.

Darkpoet: I've never asked a man on date, therefore I don't know. Hmmm..I have pursued men, let him know I'm interested, helped him get the courage etc... Maybe I should be more aggressive, I very much approve of equality...

*sigh* This whole thing about "who pays" can be easily settled by the good old dutch treat method. Each pays for their own.

Then again I can't get a date to save my life, so don't mind me...

@Viv: There is an name for girls like you: *something* tease... I can't remember exactly at the moment. j/k. In truth, Viv is exhibit 'A'. This is way most girls I've taken out do things: "you pay, and no, nothing is guaranteed no matter how much you spend." Which is fine, I may joke to the contrary, but I don't mind. I'll pay, and if I want more I'll just have to be more resorceful than just showing off my wallet.

And for the record, I have stated more the once that I do prefer smart girls

Hey, thats just my opinion. When I go out on dates, I like to be able to pay my own way. I get uncomfortable if someone is making a huge fuss over me, its really not my kind of thing.

Plus, I always feel that blokes that try too hard have something they feel the need to compensate for.

Here's some I've used..

" You look a lot better than your sister did"


"My wife and I have a free type of love, care to join in"


"I can tell by your weight your not hungry"


"You were a beautiful baby, what happen you fall out of the ugly tree later on?"

Weasel: Rofl

Vixen: And I agree, it's a good way Equality and all

(Just not me)

@Viv: You do not agree with Vix. You may want to be able to pay your own way, but the cobwebs on you wallet need never fear, methinks

@Vivien I will be serious for a moment. I believe the paying part comes from how you are raised and where you are raised. I was raised (In the South) that a man pays, a man open doors for ladies.

Waverly: SHHH!!! It's not that I don't AGREE, it's just that I've never offered to pay and never felt the need... I don't want to seem sexist, which I'm not... But, yes, the cobwebs on my wallet would beg to differ...*sigh*

Weasel: Probably true But, I was raised not to long ago in the north..hmm..but I ran into other young women who think like me in college which could explain it?

Hmmm... can we have a demonstration?

Um,... I'll volunteer

OK then V and Waverly will demonstrate ! Is it me or their names become V&W ?

Yea yea, I know... pretty odd coming from a guy... I didnt write it... just seemed to fit after what Kid posted

I must be the least blokiest bloke there is, although i always try to be polite, open doors that kind of thing, but i don't fart in the company of others, i rarely belch, crotch arrangement only happens when i am not in others company (unless it is polaxing me ) weird.

I met this girl in a pub once and this is the ensuing situation... A male friend of hers walks over and says

"come over here a second, my friend wants to talk to you"

I obliged, meanwhile my mate was getting a straight whiskey (first drink of the evening ) he passes it to me on my route, i arrive at the table, down my whiskey and she says....

"I know you from somwhere....but i can't think of it"

She begins to question me about where i went to school etc, all this time i am waiting for my next drink.....i say "so where exactly do you think you would know someone like me from...." she keeps on asking questions, describing her job and eventually she says (after about 25 minutes)...."I know i used to work at WH Smith, you used to come in during the mornings, i remember you, mostly because you were polite..."

So that's how i am remembered...

Unfortunately she was involved with someone else (as far as i remember) so 'it' wasn't really an option.

Translating Mr.Sleep's story == The way it really happened

Mr.Sleep Walks up to the barkeep and asks for a scotch...

Mr.Sleep: I'll have a scotch staight up

Some guy approaches

Some Guy: Hey, come over here a second, my friend wants to talk to you.

Mr.Sleep and Some guy walk over to a table with a buxom young wench

Mr.Sleep's Friend:Here's your scotch, man.

Mr.Sleep: *Gulp*

The Girl: I know you from somwhere....but i can't think of it.

Mr.Sleep: so where exactly do you think you would know someone like me from...

The Girl: *thinking to herself* Man, this guys hopeless, I gave him a good shot of a pickup line, but I guess he's not interested. I'll just fob him off with some excuse... "I know i used to work at WH Smith, you used to come in during the mornings, i remember you, mostly because you were polite."

Mr.Sleep: Oh ok. *walks away feeling good about himself.

That story has merit if i didn't actually remember her from WH SMith's
