Are girlfriends expensive?

[joho]

As the Valentine's day is approaching quickly, I remember how expensive it was to make my GF happy for that day. Flowers, chocolate, presents, dinner, etc so that I can get a nice sex that night. It was not only financially expensive, but also emotionally exhausting. Way cheaper to see a nice SP for an hour, then come home and chill

I have to say that your bitterness seems completely warranted. Sorry to hear that you've never experienced a generous woman in your life. I'm sure it's not common (compared to the number of generous fellas out there) but it really does exist!

It is...and it sucks huge ass. The thing was, I used to be the "nice guy"....and I just got rolled over once too many and got bitter towards the relationship thing. I can be great friends with women, but anything that begets feelings of intimacy beyond fwb now makes me suddenly turn into the "aloof asshole"...and really, I don't like being that way to women...or anyone else, for that matter. I'd rather her be generous at heart than wallet...but, alas...it is too late for me for love.

Over the top...for hers I dropped $500 on a spa package for her. And then she never used it and gave it to her friend to use. GAVE it to her friend...$500 that was paid to a spa for her to use, not to give away to her friend. WTF? Afterwards the divorce was the best $$ I ever spent.

Not commenting directly to myselftheother but this line caught my attention. Personally I find all holidays are getting too commercialize exceptions are birthday and anniversary type dates. Valentine is on Tues this year and for the past, I seldom go out of my way to spend huge $$ celebrating it. Does anybody think making the effort to spend time just catching up and getting in touch over some dessert (thinking of making a cheese cake) will fly with the girl? May sound cheap but I will definately remember this more than just going out for a dinner date and spending the big bucks just because every guy is expected to spend X amount of dollars.

So you think that what's expected is just a dinner date for Valentine's? I've been told that now what is expected is a gift on top of dinner and a night out! And when I say gift, I mean Christmas-style gift!!!!
It never occurred to this entitled P.O.S girl that Christmas was less than 2 months before. It's unbelievable how popular media has completely influenced the way young women think.

You said it, it's all about the commercialization. The TV commercials for the last two weeks have been about how much will the 'average guy' be spending on Valentine's this week, find out so you don't get left out! Totally bogus, and I don't buy into that shit at all!

And I don't think it's ever too late to love; I just think it gets easier to doubt, and harder to trust, after too many bad experiences and disappointments. It's kinda too bad that any new lady (even a good one) is kinda paying for the transgressions of the old ladies, but the same goes for both genders! Once bitten, twice shy...that's what we've been raised on...

How about finding girlfriend who dose not cost money?

Everyone like to "give" as well as to "take".
Some likes to give more than to take, some likes to take and not giving anything.
It is not 50/50 reciprocal in a relationship, I believe.

So, why don't you find a girl who likes to give out rather than taking and taking from you.
In my very very humble opinion (wink wink), many Asian girls like giving, or even giving only.
In Japanese, they are called 尽くす女, literally means women who does everything for men.

Good luck (^_^)

I like the idea of a GF who does not cost money. Even better if she gives me money, a lot of money. Maybe i could hook up
with a very rich old lady down by Stanley Park?

I think Ms. Yoko Anna is correct that "many Asian girls like giving, or even giving only". I'd suggest the belief in karma is
very strong with many of them, including Thai SP's. Further I've heard that Japanese SP's are much higher in the standard
of service offered than Thai or Americans.

Well with regards to Valentines Day from what I heard on AM 660 this morning the average gal in Calgary thinks roses and chocolates are bad and they EXPECT jewlery.....soon as I heard EXPECT I equated it to WISH....as in WISH in one hand and SHIT in the other and see which one fills up first.....I am currently single but I do have a couple of women interested right now and I will most likely pitch some woo at one of them tomorrow with an unexpected gift of flowers in some fashion.....if I detect any sort of letdown or even a hint of unhappiness that I did not hand them a $400 piece of jewlery the gal gets cast aside as I will not tolerate a gold digger especially since I have not dated either of them before....and I am also not 100% sure they are single LOL

Valentines Day should be a romantic gesture from the heart to make your GF/Wife feel appreciated....it sure as fuck should not be a yardstick that is compared side by side to what other women goy whilst they discuss how much money it cost their respective other halves.

I've heard it's actually more expensive to get a girlfriend than to poon. And I actually thought pooning was expensive. I wouldn't really know. I've only had one girlfriend, and it only lasted just over a week. I did spend some money on her and also let her borrow some that she payed me back. But considering how much of a bitch she was plus she wasn't attractive, the money I spent on her wasn't worth that week and a half. My question is regarding good looking girlfriends with good personalities. Are they expensive to get/keep? Are they more expensive than pooning? How so?

Personally, the focus should be less on the aspect of money, and more on the quality of life by way of a healthy relationship with having a girlfriend you care for and love. To the majority of SPs, you and your money are simply a means on which your money provides her with a lifestyle and pays her bills, rent, mortgage, pretc etc We are likely not significant in their lives otherwise.

Going to bars and seeing girls is not the same as dating. Perhaps that is the root of your problem
