For men, sadly, it's pretty typical for women to be "cheapskates". After all, this woman didn't offer to pick up the check or taxi fare herself, did she? As the saying goes, it takes one to know one! Such women often like to justify their mooching by saying that men pay for the pleasure of their company. Here's some tips, ladies: Try to have dinner conversation besides asking about his work (to type his job title into hotjobs salary estimator later) or your own (mostly griping about your co-workers). Don't brag about how much you've traveled to expensive places or bought an expensive home when you still expect the man to foot the bill. That leads to the final point: What one person calls "cheapskate" another would refer to as a budgeter. Lots of women complain that the men they meet are "fake". Well, real people can't afford to blow hundreds of dollars each night to put on airs. If he drives a BMW, it may be on a lease. If he spent hundreds to impress you, it probably means that a dozen other women got to him first. When I dated in my 30's, it was amazing how desperate the women were because all the other men in their lives were "used up". To the turtle, go the spoils!
