Car payments, grocery shopping. Especially after kids. Life seems to cost money no matter what your doing. Even short date can cost 200 bucks if at up scale restaurant. Guys do kinda pay most even though wemen work and get paid just as many hours. Some people split check . if she's gorgeous he mite pay whole thing. Just the way it goes. Guy gives pretty girl all his extra cash, and if children are involved even more lol Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-48146005987564100152012-06-17T22:15:02.324-07:002012-06-17T22:15:02.324-07:00Country Lawyer,

Women on those sites exploit men to get free meals and an ego boost from the attention and give nothing in return. All the normal men quickly wise up and leave, leaving only players and scam artists. The women can be easily exploited in turn because they have an unrealistic view of their desirability and think that good looking guy emailing them is actually interested in them instead of just wanting quick sex or money. The women then complain about all the players and scammers in their profiles and moan about where are all the good men. The women in the end get what they deserve.Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-36585098227492192702012-06-06T12:05:42.245-07:002012-06-06T12:05:42.245-07:00"My question is whether or not we ought to st...<i>"My question is whether or not we ought to start factoring in these income and wealth transfers when calculating the "wage gap.""</i><br /><br />Love it!<br /><br />Thanks for thinking about the economics and doing some calculations - no matter how rough.slwernerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293327533235793560noreply@blogger.com
