[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]

Well, I would have lied about the lingerie being "used" before, and not using a bottle of lube with a new partner is just weird. What were you doing with the bottle?!  I use men's razors because they are better.  And I also color my hair, but go every couple months. If you have to go every 2 weeks the color is too far from your natural color, or maybe you should just go grey. [/quote]

The bottle I had was half empty it's weird to re-use it with a new partner. But no, I'm not going grey in my 40s - that's not going to attract much attention from men out there. Even if they are bold.

Women's shoes, dresses, lingerie, personal hygiene items, maintaining your body is way more expensive for women. No, men's razors are not better me: they have shape that doesn't shave off intimate zones and butt area as well as female shaped razors that are rounder. Women bear pregnancy and thus need to workout way more to maintain thin mid section than men, and be on a high quality diet if you want to look datable into mid life.

Plus, men two-time women on OLD and lie about their relationship status way more than women in middle age. I'm not paying for dinners or splitting anything until I move in with someone and is 99% certain he's single and only sleeps with me

I am a high earner ($350K/year), own house, car etc. When in a joint household, I would split expenses pro-rata our incomes[/quote]

Earning $350k/yr and whining about the burdensome expense of toiletries.

And you are 40 years old single? And planning to find a man to get pregnant for? [/quote]

My kids are in college. I’m looking for a partner who understands equality between and woman in a reasonable, fair to women way. [/quote]
