I Tried

posted October 21st, 2018 at 1:18 PM

Went on a date with a guy I met off Tinder. He was cute so I said why not. He just kept on talking about all of his accomplishments and how much money he had and was going to make. Didn't even ask me a single question about myself. How about ask what I like to do for fun or what my interests are? Check came and he said we should split it. Not a big deal just should let me know if you want to take me to an expensive restaurant on a first date. I would have been happy to go to White Spot or a less expensive place. I told him I am not going to pay for the bottle of wine because I don't drink. He did not like that one bit. Then at the end of the night he wanted to go back to his place which is actually his parents place. He was completely clueless. We had 0% chemistry and I just took a cab home. Some guys are just clueless in dating and need to be listeners instead of talkers.

They don't have a fucking clue.

No matter how hard you try, we can always tell it's you by the way you write. We aren't fooled.

True story

I dated a guy I met online and ha paid for my coffee when we first met. I thought it was nice and very gentlemanly. We agreed to go on an actual date and he invited me to a nice restaurant. He proceeds to order 3 expensive courses to my 1 salad, and has a cocktail along with wine. The check comes and I’m hauling out my wallet to pay for my share, when he loudly says that we’ll just split it 50/50. So basically he ate 3 times more than I did and drank twice as much, so I definitely felt pissed off. Since it was a nice place and I hate public scenes, I paid . I never went out with him again.

"Confession" designed to demonize a man who does not exist. Actually, this hypothetical man is a collage of separate incidents involving separate men. And I'm certain that a man could write a similar aggregation of his experiences with women. Humans sometimes are just awful to each other, you know?

Next time say something.

No reason to suffer the entire evening with him. And splitting the bill is the right thing to do. As in, pay for what YOU ate/drank only.

Gotta teach them or they'll never learn.

But I blame my fellow women for the high number of guys like the one you described. If all women maintained a high standard for the men they dated, and especially slept with, we would have a lot fewer selfish, mannerless, lazy basement dwellers (and “players”, and ghosters, etc.). As long as these dudes get dates and sex they’ll only grow in numbers.

So just to be clear

You don't want to listen to him but expect him to listen to you?
I'm going to go ahead and assume you meant you should both talk and listen.

Oh boy, the beta humans will be coming to get you now! With accusations of you being a gold digger and vapid (seems to be a common thread w/ Vancouver men who can't seem to accept maybe it's just them)

The men who talk about money...

... They do so because they’ve been brainwashed by other men to believe that that’s all women care about.

The ones who talk about nothing other than themselves have been done a great disservice by their mommies who have told them their whole lives that they are the best and brightest little darlings, and so grow up to be entitled men who don’t know how to do their own laundry.
