I guess it depends on your situation. For one thing I live in the UK, where we have good public transport and a relatively robust welfare state. I also lived a very frugal lifestyle back when I was working/studying, and have savings that I use for things like socialising. In terms of how much I spend, things haven't…

I'm not accusing you of only dating high rollers, I'm accusing you of reading things into someone's actions which might not be true at all. Essentially I've spend a long time reading feminist sites like Jezebel where it's either seen as meaningless or as sexist for a guy to pay for a date. Maybe the guys you're…

"my guy will point out something that is bothering me"

Sure, I just thought Cat Eyes should give the benefit of the doubt to him considering her previous comment. But whatevs...

Since I was previously shielded from the red comments my sarcasm-detector may need re-calibrated.

"It's weird and one sided"

Isn't this more a case of having different expectations about what level of cleanliness you actually want? I mean some couples don't bother with that kind of thing at all, like having a "we clean up when we're having important guests, not before" policy. I think the points you raise about expectations are valid, but…

Why is that though? Did you only date men who made better money than you?

I wonder how these attitudes would be affected if people who can't work are taken into account. I've been unable to work due to mental health issues over the last 18 months, and the number one thing that stops me from attempting dating isn't the issues themselves, it's the shame of being unemployed with no end in…

"Not sure why everyone else is getting their panties all in a twist. Apparently we've forgotten on Jezebel how to understand things like humor and sarcasm. "

Made me think of this

The greatest tradegy of technological advancement is that wireless networking means we may never get to "jack in" to the internet.

Common ignorance is better than uncommon ignorance, surely? I mean, it's not like game theory is a way of interacting with others that everyone is supposed to know about like sharing or practicing what you preach or something. Do you really consider "not knowing what game theory is" to be ignorance?

Or the fact that the aboriginal woman who tracked the dingo had to speak through her husband in court for cultural reasons so her testimony was disregarded (IIRC). Patriarchy + cultural insensitivity = fail.

Another downside to being an overweight guy: it makes your penis look smaller, especially when not erect (I'm not joking).

I know that you and honeymaid88 are trying to be supportive of big guys here, but being told you would make a good cushion isn't exactly the greatest compliment. I mean, I think most guys who feel inadequate (myself included) do so because we're not considered sexually attractive, not because we're insufficiently…

I think you're probably right, supposedly he was too scared to even watch the horror films which the Thriller video was based on.

Are alligator tears different to crocodile tears? Because if not, that's pretty harsh...

possible nitpick: wasn't it his agent who said he was a nice guy, not his lawyer?
