What is it about women and money?

[Guest]

[QUOTE=Alphagame;35019]What about the $20 to $25 breakfast tax the next morning? I'm such a fucking nice guy (I should have my ass kicked) but there are women who just WON'T go home in the morning.

So over the last year or so, I've kinda devised a strategy. We wake up, I say "Let's go get some breakfast." Then, I'll mention, as we're headed out the door "Oh, I gotta run some errands so why don't you just follow me."

Breakfast was my suggestion, so I'm always paying that one. Hell, I always pay anyway. I honestly don't care too much. But I do like it if they volunteer to pay every now and then.[/QUOTE]

There is no breakfast tax, this is self-imposed. If you offer to take them to breakfast how can you hold them accountable?

Women always ask me what my plans are for the day, and I tell them. Then they get the hint. If they don't I usually just say:

"Well, I had fun last night. Do you need directions out of the neighborhood?"

or

"That was fun. Well, I need to get ready for work. Busy day."

In regards to breakfast, I do not go out for breakfast. I eat at home. If they want to eat what I am eating they are welcome. Otherwise they can be on their merry way. My advice to you - buy some groceries. It's better for you, it's cheaper, it's the way to go. It is never even an issue for me to take them to breakfast because I know I'm not going to. Same with dinner. Or lunch.

I almost never talk about who pays or doesn't pay with women. It's a boring topic. Just say once "I'll buy this round, you buy next" and then have a real conversation about something you really want to talk about. That's it. Easy as pie.


[QUOTE=Alphagame;35019]It is a strange catch 22. Women are attracted to income. If you hide it, you kinda lose some of the attraction points. But if you show it off, you kind of get into this routine where you are ALWAYS paying for everything.

I think, going forward, during the initial meeting, I'll try to incorporate a small piece of conversation, that more or less [B]complains [/B]that other women I've dated in the past seemed like they were more attracted to my income than they were to me...or something along those lines...and that they NEVER offered to pay for anything.[/QUOTE]

Never complain, complaining is what women and children do. Men explain.

Alphagame, do you talk about money a lot? Seems like you might. That is probably the reason these women expect you to pay. Money is a boring topic on a date, just like religion and politics. If they ask you about it make up a funny response and move on.

Her: "How much money do you make?"

You: "Twelve dollars".

Her: "What kind of car do you drive?"

You: "A '97 Batmobile."

If they don't know they kind of money you make, they can't be attracted to it. What is left for them to be attracted to....

Maybe your game?
