Maybe Tara watched “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” too many times, but never caught on to the fact that Holly Golightly being given $50 for the powder room and $50 for cab fare was a nice way of letting us know she was a prostitute.

No sex on first date. It’s nice to know she has some principles.
The guy’s got to pay one way or another. This just makes it explicit.

I know. If he just wanted a regular dinner date, the British guy could go to a nice bar or hotel lobby and probably find a woman to have dinner with him without paying her $600.00.

Can you imagine the titanic ego of this woman?

” I’m so amazing a man should be willing to pay $600.00 just to take me out and buy me drinks “.

Guy dodged a bullet.

Sorry, but I’m not even buying dinner for em anymore. They want equality, they can split the check.

The only way I’m picking up the tab is if I have a 2 for 1 coupon for Sizzler.

LOL! They had to address those things very subtly in the Hays Code era.

Charging money for a date is still charging money for a date, whether it’s your sole source of income or not, and it’s hard to unseat centuries of religious and moral baggage that come with the American Dream.


Here we have an eloquent summary of the ‘modern sensibility’. Ain’t it grand?

“My take is that these women are escorts,”

Exactly. We have a word in this country for women that get paid to go on a date but may or may not ‘put out’. That word is ‘escort’.

Well if a woman wants to shop for a sugar daddy that is a great way if screening I guess. Seems pretty dumb... but if you want to be some rich dudes mistress I guess it makes sense.

Preach it brother! After 29 years my wife decided I was no longer interesting, had an affair, and then went off to find herself. Since then, I have dated a few women and we always split the check. I was totally committed, faithful and paid full freight for nearly 30 years, but not any more. I have no intention of ever getting crapped on or married again. In regards to intimacy; if my date wants it bad enough then she can let me know and I will take it under consideration. I have learned that there is nothing a woman possesses or can do for me that I can't live without.

I am a proud member of the MGTOW movement. LOL!

I was there on Niceguy’s forum when the movement started and we named it and designed the logo, brother :)

No kidding. “Hey, you’re pretty. Will you pretend to be my friend for a few hours for $600?”
