[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a huge turn off for me when the interaction is so heavily transactional right off the bat, does not allow for reciprocity and intimacy to develop.

I get that dating is expensive, but i don't enjoy these kinds of relationships or friendships for that matter.[/quote]
 
I really don't understand this kind of thinking. You want to date. You would like those dates to cost money. But you don't want to pay. Why do you think a man is always responsible for paying?[/quote]

This^. Both are dating and it's consensual sex then both pay. If someone is hiring a hooker, they pay.[/quote]

Fine, but for many women skipping the courting stage is not helping to develop a romantic relationship. He didn’t give me a single rose and it cost $3 at Trader Joe. I don’t want to invest my time in him or get attached.  If it’s all 50/50 let’s talk  salaries, joint financial goals from date one and see where it goes. It’s highly transactional and then I would expect a man to be an absolute equal earner or higher. If a guy is making less he will benefit long term from investing early in a LTR. If he allowed me to fall into him, we would move into a nicer house than he has, he would drive a better car, will have much higher joint income with me being a higher contributor.  [/quote]

So, you want him to court you like you're in 1953 but you also want to jump into bed with him right away and forgo any actual romance. You're an idiot. [/quote]
