you should chek if they want you to pay or not its nice to have someoone spoil you but girls dont like to feel dependent

with my ex, it was 50-50 (which is as it should be, if they're for equality in everything else). However i think that's pretty unusual, they normally expect you to contribute the most.

girls who expect you to contribute are not worth your time and money i dont like the whole idea of what society expects of girls and boys you should just be you and not pay for things becoz society views that is your role in a relationship

I wouldn't mind spending money on a girlfriend but I want it to be within reason.

Oh, it's very true. I usually spend upwards of $50 a week on my girlfriend. Most of it goes to various unmentionable activities but a fair amount is for going to dinner and such.

I certainly don't expect any of this. Occasionally my boyfriend likes to but I like to do that for him too sometimes. All I ever expect off a partner is to accept me for who I am, end of. Girls who are high maintenance give women like me a bad name. Girls who are high maintenance are the way they are to make up for the fact that they are worth jack s**t in my opinion.

I surely hope not. I think it's custom that's driving this.

in a committed relationship, the expenses should be divided up according to the percentage of income out of th ewhole that each makes.
so if you have a steady job and the girl is in school full time then you should expect to pay.

if both work then the costs should be shared according to each person's income.

She's not a girfriend if you're paying for her.

I totally agree with this. If money has to be spent, then it is to be divided according to work status. For example, I work full time and my boyfriend doesn't as he is too disabled to work, so if money is to be spent, I am the one who tends to be the spender. Only fair I reckon. Plus I like doing it anyway.

Hahaha I'm the sugar-mummy in our relationship, senior by a mere 3 years. However I'm the one with the higher-paying job and more settled in the adult world, so often times I'm the one that pays for things. He has, however, bought me things from time to time (usually food...then again I usually buy him food too...sometimes petrol for our cars), but he more than makes up for it in non-monetary ways. He's scored me a LOT of work on my car for free...

All in all it evens itself out beautifully...we have a mutual relationship where we're independant, yet often do things for each other monetarily or otherwise...I think we're both quite happy with it as it is It means we both spend more money than we normally would if single, but heck...it's love, who cares!

So um no...not all gielfriends are expensive. Boyfriends not having enough money to pay for their exhaust rebuilds at the time are expensive however, but the set of good second-hand race tyres that follow are very much worth it!

My kinda gal!

Usually, but not necessarily. This is one of the advantages of dating a feminist.

I'm not expensive, well, I don't think I am! I'll ask Anubis...

;D lolz.
