[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]See men would totally be willing and want to pay for a girlfriend to go on vacation together.[/quote]

And they shouldn't be ok with that, TBH. When I was dating my now exH, I was younger and still contributed to our vacations pro-rata  our incomes. And I do think he married me in part due to seeing me as partner, not a bimbo. A lot of men in their 50s become incredibly cheap, and even if they make serious money (200k+), they are just staying back home, not traveling etc.  I think it's part of a mental decline for that age group, not necessarily a sign of financial instability. I've met men who were making $500k but incredibly cheap relative their income. Generosity is a character train, and it's always related to ability to give in a relationship in many other ways. That cheap guy was also pretty a bad lover, and a multi-dater.[/quote]

I never expect a man to pay for me. I have plenty and I am not for sale.
A man paying for a woman is the gentlemanly thing to do. Why is the girl a bimbo? Isn’t this whole thread about men who can’t afford to pay for himself let alone the woman???

DH earns a high income now but he also paid for me when he was a poor grad student. He has always given me his all.[/quote][/quote]

You are not for sale. I have a daughter. I want the absolute best for her. She will be able to pay her way. She will have a trust fund. At absolute minimum, the type of man who is worthy of dating her should be able to treat her to dinner.

And I hope she marries someone wonderful and lives happily ever after and not trying to date as a 45 year old divorcee who can’t find a man to pay for his own vacation.[/quote]
