You're doing it all wrong man. Women are pretty awesome if you have decent taste.

You are purposely driving intelligent women away and you'll end up with an air head wife burning through your money...and you'll put the p-ssy on the pedestal and do nothing.

You sound like a putz.

Perhaps. But almost all the women in my life have caused me stress, anguish, and pain through the years. And, many of the relationships I observe (friends, family, etc), I often think "why does he put up with her shite like that?".

Maybe look at your priorities and criteria. If almost all have caused stress and anguish, maybe it's not the women...

Maybe you're looking for the wrong things.

I have considered that. I am the one common denominator.

My criteria isn't all that restrictive. Reasonably attractive, not fat, and fun to be with.

You need to learn to frame things differently

Instead of saying I can’t have kids (negative frame)

You should say

I can spray dem guys relentlessly without repercussions (positive frame)

Other than that, have a nice day Troll

Jesus, man.

There's an easier solution to this problem than getting so intense in a text message before you've even met the chick.

Don't take your first date out for an expensive dinner or expensive night out, in general - whatever you decide to do.

Just grab inexpensive drinks somewhere. If it doesn't work out or she's only out to use you as a "glorified ATM" at most you've lost $30.

I went into the history of men paying for the date and how it came out of necessity rather than chivalry.

A better way to say all that OP stuff would have been:

Sure, we can talk whenever, I’ll call you tomorrow night. I was actually going to say something along those lines, I’d rather us go somewhere like a coffee shop or a non-smoking bar where we can actually get to know each other, not like a dinner date yet.

Also, I’m having surgery in a few weeks, so I’ll be out of commision for a week or two. I had this incident with this girl I was dating where I almost fricked her to death, so I went to the urologist, and she said with something this size, she wasn’t surprised, but that I should think about having a vasectomy. So, I’m just trying to do the whole chivalry thing and protect women, even if they’ll never know what I went through to help them. I know it’s for the best. Unrelated question, asking for a friend... in your opinion, how big is too big?

Jesus dude. I haven't read this whole thread, but you seriously cant afford to take a girl out for drinks and dinner? If I doesn't work out, you're out what 50 bucks?

Honestly, you just come off as a cheapskate.

I always pay for dates. If you ask them out, you’re obligated to pay. Sometimes they aren’t using you at all and you just don’t click. Sometimes they are using you. Sometimes you get laid. Sometimes you end up dating.

It’s a gamble and part of the game

Don't be up front about that shite. As the realtionship evolves past a couple of dates the women, the good financially stable ones, will pull their weight and usually offer to pay up since you did the first few times.

This is why on a first date, I don't go out on the town. You do coffee or just get 2 drinks. That's plenty of time for you to have an idea if you want to continue seeing her and vice versa.

dude.

enjoy a lot of wanking mate.

Might wanna lighten up, it's a fricking date....you're taking this shite way too damn serious.

Pay for a date or two, if it's about $ don't make it a location/spot where you're really at a loss for cash.

fricking a...seriously.

dial it back mate.

I understand that you have been taken advantage of by other women but you need to realize we aren't all like that.

In many ways it seem like you are making me and other women pay for the mistakes of those women.

The fact that you said I need to learn the priviledge of being spoiled by you kind makes me feel like I need to perform to your standards or else I won't get treated properly in a relationship.

I'm a traditionalist that believes a guy should pay for the first few dates, going dutch is something I do with friends, not a boyfriend.

You also come off as a little bit of a stickler for money.


I agree 100% with every point she made. She sounds like she has her shite together. Your approach couldn't be more wrong.

Doing all of that through a text was your first mistake. Just pick up the phone and CALL her and see how it goes...
