Tell him that if he's not getting sex he's wasting his money.

He’s getting sex but that’s really not the issue. Gross to make it the issue

You believe women should be used for free?

Let him know he should keep gifts to special occasions or they lose their meaning.

My oldest daughter is in NYC and guys pay for Ubers. If they don’t it leaves a bad impression.

If she's in a wheelchair and can't walk, that's a special case

It's equitable. The wealthy have a moral obligation to spread it around.

No, you got it backwards. If he's paying for it he better be getting sex.

Why isn't he driving her home? Putting a girl in an uber isn't the nicest thing to do on a date.

Why didn’t you teach him to cook dateworthy dinner? Quick before it’s too late!

Sounds like OP is the one getting used. Kid is using “saved” (gifted) cash to send GF home and is too lazy to drive her home himself. All on OP’s dime!

And this is why we don’t allow dating in high school. Waste of time and money.

This is okay by me.

This is equality.

We live in a world where women are becoming equally likely to be the better off partner.
