[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I spent hundreds dollars more dating the last guy I was with than he spent on dinners/outings with me. Nail polish upgrade, bedroom lingerie upgrade (he commented smth along the lines if my other lingerie was "enjoyed" by my exH), new outfits for sport that he liked to play together, STD testing kits before we started having sex and after, hair styling, new lubricants for bedroom (I won't ever use the same bottle as I did with previous partner). Women's razors at CVS are double price vs men razors; tampons, hair colorants applied every 2 weeks. Besides, I dress very nicely and go to an expensive gym to look "datable" in my mid 40s.

Women spend more on dating men behind the scenes! Men should pay for dates at all times, it's cheaper and that IS TRUE EQUALITY of expenses in this particular budget area for every single person. Besides, men two-timing women more often in dating than women do. The guy I spent all of it for turned out to have a GF in a different city, dating both of us. I was only sleeping with him. I am NOT subsidizing his dating other women indirectly by buying tickets or dinners. He seemed totally decent from the first glance, but we only lasted for 4 months.

I won't pay ever for any dates or offer to split bills with men after the above experience with OLD.[/quote]
Men should pay you because... tampons? 
That's a new one[/quote]

Don’t be obtuse you get the point. It costs a lot more to be a woman.[/quote]
Yes, I have heard this before. 
Men should pay because I have to get a facial to look presentable. Men should pay because I have to wear expensive makeup. Men should pay because I have to buy new lube. 
Still makes me giggle[/quote]

It’s basic social economics. Not all that funny, really if you are in the group who bears more/most of the burden. Sounds like you are not! Enjoy your facials etc. [/quote]
At least facials do something! pp commented about getting fancier nail polish. Like any man cares or knows the difference between cheap nail polish or expensive polish. [/quote]

High earner man who is in my social circle would definitely pay attention to it. All my exes did. [/quote]
Sure Jan. [/quote]

Unkempt nails, feet, grey hair roots, terrible sun burnt skin past age 40, lots of belly fat even when thin - these are very typical looks for a " liberal feminist" DC female crowd that insists on splitting bills. Men in 200K+ income bracket are not minimally attracted by that.  Tell me how I know[/quote]
I'm not sure if you're the same pp, but if you read the quoted post we are talking about fancy nail polish. Not unkempt, gray or belly fat. Nail polish. I'm sure you can stay focused if you try! [/quote]

You just picked on that nail polish sentence and keep exploiting it. The point was different in general: women who are fit and good looking spend more behind the scenes on dating vs men in the same category. And women on average make less. A man in a similar professional field would be making $500k vs my $350k in mid 40s, as his career wasn’t interrupted or stalled  by child beating years. [/quote]
