What about the husband; he's probably grown accustomed to getting some about 3 times a week, yet thats done with :(

Might that be because when dating people try to impress one another? For example: a guy or girl picking up the bill (who doesn't plan on doing it all the time during a relationship) on the first few dates will be always be expected to.
If people just start things with their actual habits/expectation in mind then it's far more realistic. That way if either is "accustomed to _____" and too high maintenance then it's obvious from day one, and there isn't likely to be a second date at all.

i dunno if it's just me (im pretty sure it isn't), but anytime a bill was involved, i alwasy picked it up; but that's just me.

[Skitzo_Style]

to be completly honest, i can't ever recall any guy ever telling me that they took their date to dinner, and she picked up the tab.

does that really happen?

[mojo]

maybe they wanted to pick them up?

maybe they love the ladies and like doing things for them?

maybe they got road-head?

lots of maybes.

clearly you've never dated a lesbion....

[Skitzo_Style]

yeah, i guess you're right.

I wonder what that would be like?

[impure]

i don't know.
i'm sure living near TO you could find out, there's got to be like ONE who's still in the closet, barely....

[Skitzo_Style]

honestly can't say i've run into any.

then again, i don't have much of a gaydar.

[impure]

gaydar not required. they're pretty obvious, to me....

[Skitzo_Style]

then again, im not you.

unless they are in khaki shorts, hiking boots, have a mullet, and wear a flannel shirt, im not really one for dyke scouting.

[impure]

try the sport satin oversized shorts, oversized t-shirt, bad hair, no makeup, no socks, with some sort of non-athletic shoe, and usualy a baseball hat thrown in for good measure.
i saw several downtown yesterday.

[Skitzo_Style]

fuck, that's just gross.

yeah, you're right. I've obviously never dated a lesbian.

Any lesbian that picks up the tab on a date with a guy is a pretty bad lesbian.

For one she's on a date with a guy.

[Disco_Whore]

[Skitzo_Style]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!

[Ms.Tarantula]

^ her beard was bigger then the last time i saw her :(

its cute that they are in love and everything but EW!

[bebu*funfun]

are there really responsibilities for being a gf/bf? i thanked my boyfriend a few weeks ago for driving me to school and he blurted out "its okay its my job to do so"... i smacked him really hard and to this day he still apologizes for saying it. i dont want my boyfriend to think he needs to pick me up..especially when im in seattle (to link back to myles story).. i want him to want to pick me up..so he could see me. am i being unreasonable? hmmm.. if there is a easier way for me to get to point a --> b without my boyfriend thinking its a chore, i would pick the easier way..and NO i wont get mad at him for not picking me up. fuck responsiblities..

[kiMMie]

I guess the question I need to propose is - Does having a significant other considered an occupation? If it is, then it isn't a relationship to begin with. It's just a job.

In reference to the original post, I guess from a third party point of view one can assume that it may look like the guys are totally licked and ended up picking up the girlfriend(s), however, there is a choice here. I think the two of them both chose to pick their girlfriends up because they wanted to. Period.

[project.one]

I dont consider it a job. I call it being polite! Maybe I was raised different the other guys my age. But on the first date, the guys picks up the cheque. Get her chair, opens the doors, beat up the drunk guy who trys to fondle her! You know, basic politness!

If Ive been dating someone for a while, and we go out and she wants to pick up the cheque, thats fine too! I dont mind, but the first one should be on the guy!

Its not our job... but ... hummm... nevermind, im not going to get into this one!

or even better would be for her to kill herself.

hahaha ^ yeah.
