[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a male friend who has done this (not automatically paid on the first date) and he just doesn't know that it's better to pay.  I had to explain that to him, and he's been better about it.

[b]I'm extremely independent - paid for my own college, own my own home, and I'm great about paying on dates.[/b]  But I tend to let the guy pay on the first date because it seems to be the norm and some guys feel weird if you don't let them pay.  (I'll generally pick up the after-dinner drinks or pay for dinner on the 3rd date.)  I do always offer, though, and 99% of guys will not let me pay.[/quote]

Do you grow your own food? Make your own clothes? Survive comfortably without electricity? If so, the congrats. I believe you. If not, then you aren't really as independent as you think, and you should really stop wearing that slogan as a badge of honor. That's probably why you are still dating around.

So harsh... and angry. And taken out of context.[/quote]

No it's not. I am just sick of all this "I'm so independent. I don't need anyone. I don't rely on anyone" crap because it's crap. Why does it bother me? Because 1) I don't like stupidity 2) I don't like how it's used to look down on SAHM's because 3) see my original post, and point 1.

Signed,

Princess Charming WAHM who wishes she was TRULY more independent.

Hon, I don't have to grow my own food if I'm the one who earns the money to pay for it. Sorry you have a pretend job where you don't make enough to buy your own latte and need a man to pay your way. [/quote]

You are too dumb to speak to me. Please go have a seat in the corner. You are an intellectual disgrace.
