The corollary is that the number of women who think they’re Carrie Bradshaw in New York City is alarmingly high.

“The woman is — in the strictest of biological terms — saying: I’m not paying you 50 grand for your chocolate bar, while the man is saying: I’m not willing to give you 50 cents for that Lexus.”

Dinner whore

Top 10 Signs of a Dinner Wh0re.

I decided that I couldn’t afford to limit myself to guys I actually wanted to date, I just had to go full throttle and just see who was willing to take me out. A meal is a meal!
. . .
To find my victims, I would chitchat with each possible suitor and then hope they’d offer to take me out, which 9 out of 10 times they would.
. . .

And the dates! The horror dates I had to indulge for the simple sake of a meal.

I went out with everything.

After months of talking to close to 100 men and setting up over 60 dates, I finally decided to end my dates-for-meals plan. I eventually told my friends what I had been up to and majority of my girlfriends thought it was a brilliant idea whereas my guy friends thought I was the lowest of lowest.

A really close guy friend said he was disappointed in my recent escapades. He felt I was using men and explained to me that these men I went on dates with were probably expecting a relationship from me, yet I just wanted a meal and nothing more.

I explained that I didn’t see this as any different than a guy who buys a drinks for a girl at a bar in hopes of getting laid, to which he responded, “Both parties are satisfied at the end.” Pssh! Has he asked the girls he’s sleeping with if they’re 100% satisfied?

However, we do need a Revolving Door Tax (RDT) and to prosecute politicians and staff and their “family and friends” who profit from insider trading.
