Let's cut to the chase scene. Dating is about mating and mating is about resources exchanged for fertility. That is the battery that drives the species. We should be thankful that women are so impossible to please. If not for them, we wouldn't have cities and skyscrapers. Men would be perfectly happy living in tents with Nintendo's.
So that said, men realize they have to spend a certain amount of money in the dating game. Consider that a woman living on welfare gets the equivalent of $65,000 a year from the state ($40,000 after taxes or so). So unless a man makes triple figures, even the most useless women can (paradoxically) laugh at him and pretend they are too good for him (thanks, welfare state!)
What percentage of your income do you think should be allotted to spending money on women (including dinners, vacations, trips, gifts, drinks, parties, strip clubs etc)?
