[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't you ladies ever enjoy -some- downscaled experiences? Less elaborate, expensive travel. Less costly entertainment. No one is flexible? [/quote]

It wears thin. I’m able to expand my world as my kids go off to college- not willing to restrict my options because of limited finances in a partner. [/quote]

+1.  And I don't want to hear about why I don't take him.  Right now I'm planning my 2024 and some 2025 trips.  I've got 10 days in Europe with my daughter to go to the Olympics and see Taylor Swift.  I'm going on dive vacation with a friend in Nov.  The kids and I are going on a cruise in Dec.  For 2025, the kids want to go to Greece so I'm planning 4-5 days in Athens and 4-5 days at the beach.  I've got a 26-27, trip in the works for 14 days in Bali with the kids on a live aboard and the kids want to go on Safari at some point.

The bigger trips are expensive.  I'm responsible for paying for me and my 2 kids.  I don't want the additional responsibility of paying for someone else or their kids.  My kids are in HS now.  Once they are in college either I'll continue to travel with them or I'll go on similar trips with girlfriends that can afford it.[/quote]

Let’s say you do find a man with the same kind of money as you. I’d be curious to know whether you’d expect him to take you on trips where he pays for your airfare, the hotel, dining etc. Is it a 50/50 deal? I can totally see women with plenty of money still expecting the man to pick up the tab.[/quote]

My SO and I both have plenty of money and when we travel we split the expenses. We each keep receipts, add them up and divide by two. If I buy something for myself it’s not included in the pot. With normal dining out I pay for every other dinner. We definitely don’t keep score. [/quote]
