Ask yourself, what would be more likely to get a woman to be friends with you:
1) Tell her she only dates men for money and is entitled

Addressing #1 only.
We are not here for dates, we are here to talk about dating.
This is one step above actually dating and is more analytical in nature.
Women date for marriage. Dating wise they are usually reciprocal financially. I believe that lifetime, it should also be a 50/50 split out of fairness.
She typically believes the man is supposed to be the financial cornerstone. She wants him to buy a house for her and the kids. And all the stuff that goes with it.
She dates men for financial stability later in life.
Younger women sometimes take this even further, expecting a car, a trip to Europe, and such.
do you have any sources to support any of your statements? if you want to take this a step up to any sort of intellectual discussion then you need to back up your generalisations with some kind of scholarly sources. otherwise, you are only expressing opinions, which is not analytical at all.
in Canada women make up close to 50% of the workforce, with fluctuations above and below that mark depending on the economy, so all of the married women don't seem to be relying on anyone as their financial cornerstone.

in the United States, the proportion is similar, though the gender gap in employment status has not been closed to the same degree.

oh, and people DO meet and date on the forum. just because you are not seeking to do that doesn't mean the same for other members.
