		<description>Marylin,
Reread my comments, you stupid crackhead whore.  Where DO I EVER say that I make women pay?  Making up stuff now?  I said that a woman should at least make an offer to pay the tip or perhaps split the bill.  I have never made a woman pay once in my life- but probably should have as a few of them were moocher and lazy f^cking losers.  The ones that always asked to pay part of the bill, I refused any money from.  
You&#039;re so f^cking stupid with your comments about this strip club thing.  Casino&#039;s are JAMMED f^cking packed too, does that mean everyone is a gambler????  No way.  You have the IQ of a f^cking sloth.
Why don&#039;t you go smoke some crack in the trailer trash hangout that you come from?  You have no clue how ordinary normal everyday people live.</description>

		<description>Yeah, and I wonder how older generations of male parents would judge many females today....rotten gold digging, fake, stuck up, whores!!! LOL!!!!!  I don&#039;t really agree with my statement, but it&#039;s far more true today than years ago.  You want to make comparison&#039;s Marylin?  Take it both ways.  Your mind is cracked...probably from all the crack you smoke like the trailer trash wench that you are.</description>

		<description>I am not really amazed at this man&#039;s post of how a woman is &quot;lucky&quot; to go out with him if she offers to pay on a date which he asked of her. A lot of men feel that a woman is &quot;lucky&quot; to accept the crumbs of kindness from them. Hopefully, most of these women will NOT offer to pay for this cheapskate with the hopes of being &quot;lucky&quot; enough for his company once again. A lot of today&#039;s males would not have survived a society of the past where a man was judged by the woman&#039;s parents if he was worthy of marriage: meaning he had a profession in which to support a wife and possibly children.</description>

		<description>&quot;Many women are opting out of the dating scene.&quot;

And men are avoiding long-term commitment as well, so quit boasting.</description>

		<description>Locutus, if you claim I speak like a gold-digger, you foul language shows you have no class. Again, the gold-digger term is only thrown about by men like you to make a woman feel she should pay her own way during a date and throughout a relationship or marriage. If men did not spend their money on strippers, the clubs would not be in business and the parking lots would not be full of cars from all walks of life - Chevy trucks to Mercedes Benz. The same &quot;generalised&quot; statements you say I make are the same that come from you of how any woman is a gold-digger if she refuses to pay for a man. Many women are opting out of the dating scene.</description>

		<description>Marylin,
I have no idea where you come from, but you have now showed your true colors and it is clear why you make such posts.  Thank God most women I know share NOTHING of the values you post.  I think they would call you a whack job.  Men squander their paychecks at stripjoints???  While possibly true of some people, where in the hell do you make such generalized off the wall statements?  WHat percentage of men do that??  7...8%?  That is truly whacked.  Some guys HATE stripjoints and NEVER go to them.  I&#039;m ok with it and maybe on average go there once or possibly twice a year for amusement while I have a drink.  Some years I don&#039;t go at all.  You bring up the bottom of the barrel 8% of men and broadcast it like all guys are that way.  Wake the f^ck up!!!  I bet most women who would read your posts would probably rank you at the bottom of the barrel 8% of women and it shows.  You talking like there is no such thing as a gold digger..LOL!!!  They are NOT the majority of women, thank God, but they do exist.  Chivalry...hahahaha...you are so screwed up!  Chivalry was KILLED BY FEMINISM!!!!!!!  You make yourself so clear it is now understandable of why you make such comments on here.  You want to go out with the jerks (probably because you are attracted to them physically or by their wreckless bad boy behavior) and then you complain about it.  
Surprise, there are actually guys who treat women great, but you won&#039;t be attracted to these &#039;boy-men&#039; as you put it, because they don&#039;t turn you on.  As a guy who is a very giving and caring person, I want to end up with a woman who respects that and is thankful for that.  There are women out there who have no grattitude and could care less and some who even think they arer owed that....sounds like you?  Well those women can run along and end up with the careless bottom of the barrel jerk men.  I love when the losers meet the losers, it&#039;s great!!!!!!!!! :)</description>

		<description>Men protest of how this is not true but a man does look at a woman as cheap if she chases after him. If this was not the case, there would not be the tons of websites where women ask if it is acceptable to do the asking out for a date and to pay for the man. 

Men pay for what they value. Before the usual suspects start screaming of what kind of women we are for mentioning this, they need to look at how men will squander most of their paycheques to get lapdances at the strip club and will pay plenty of money for adult entertainment while squawking about paying for a decent dinner date. Most women who do the chasing end up alone after the man is bored and goes onto the next conquest. 

The term &quot;gold-digger&quot; is only thrown at a woman to make her feel that she has to settle for less from a man. A man will call his wife a &quot;gold-digger&quot; if she feels the need to work less hours and not put in overtime at work to be able to properly take care of the children and home, which the man expects even if the lady is working 50 hours a week outside of the house. It keeps women in their place when a woman lives with a man without marriage and usually ends up paying 70% of the living expenses even if she earns less than her mate. 

Chivalry has died long ago. Feminism told women they could have it all but all they ended up with is boy-men who feel a text message is worthy of a birthday or Christmas card.</description>

		<description>How do you value someone when it is only your first or second date?  You don&#039;t even know if you really like someone.  Your thinking is totally bizarre.  Are you cracked??  That last sentence is totally whacko????  WTF are you talking about?  You have to be a feelingless cold b^tch to think the way you do.  You&#039;re obviously just a another cold hearted gold digger whose brain would never comprehend.  People like you give me the creeps you&#039;re so feelingless and so cold.
And studies were done, really?  Post some links then.</description>

		<description>There have been studies shown that the more a man spends on a woman, the more he values her. Men&#039;s brains are wired differently. I, as a woman would never ask a man out, now would I pay for a date unless we were going out a long time and it was his birthday. Women, do yourself a favor.. don&#039;t chase. Don&#039;t ask men out. Don&#039;t pay. It will cheaper yourself in his eyes whether he admits it or not.</description>
