Yeah, I bet. How many guys have you invited out for a first or second date to dinner?

There's an exception to every rule. It's you.

Women spend more on dating by investing in their looks and wardrobe. It would be economically unfair if they also split dinners. Go out with homey women in T-shirts they might pay for you dinners.

You know you can pay someone to get you off for less than the cost of a few drinks, right? You don't have to pretend to want a relationship. Just hire a sexworker, pro or no.

You're right, I don't want a relationship. Sex? Yes. Relationship? As long as I can avoid one.

Here we go. Just hire a sex worker to get you off.

These women are looking for ltr and want to know you better: why are you wasting their time in trying to get them into one-dimensional hookups? Contact only the profiles that say “short term” or “casual”.

They are not as attractive, and fat - right ?

Interesting. But every proud woman claims that she "dresses for herself" and doesn't care about the "male gaze." So how women dress and look really has nothing to do with men.

Women dress for impressing other women. Men for the most part don't care what a woman wears, as long as it is clean.

Many women also feel the same way about men. I like a guy in jeans and tshirts and boots rather than spiffed up wearing more girly fancy attire. Looks more manly.

Meh absolutely care for women to look stylish fit and youthful, as well as to be educated and able maintain a conversation with his family and friends.

Been watching "Gone With The Wind" again lately? Don't forget how to hold a tea cup and carry a parasol.

Why do I have an image of a pimp and his women when you say that?

I am aiming for women in the age range of 25 to 29 who have at least a bachelors degree. What can I do to genuinely connect with someone in the first few dates ?

Date someone you’re own age…

Spiffed girly fancy attire? WTF?

Men have three basic wardrobe types: 1) Casual (jeans/boots/buttondown shirt); 2) Semi-formal (slacks/blazer); 3) Formal (suit (including tux.))

I look like a man in all three because I am a man in all three. So do almost all men. Not sure what "girly fancy attire" even is.
