Money saving tip

[Shiftkey]

Before you go out on a date with a girl, eat at home by yourself first. When you go out you'll be full, so you won't have to order too much food (maybe just a salad). Because she doesn't want to be seen as a pig, the girl will never order more food than you do.

I learned this tip from a friend of mine at work while we were talking about girls. He said he heard it on a radio talk show from a guy who has a lot of success with women. I haven't tryed this theory out first hand, but it seems pretty good.

Tell me what you guys think.

Doesn't sound bad...

Don't over-shower her with compliments that will make her BIG and you little.

Very simple

Good Tip Shiftkey!

Be a little careful of this... If she is hungry, she will get irritable, which = bad. Keep this in mind.

I read an article in some Men's Health magazine that quoted a study. Researchers had females analyze eating diaries of different men. Those men who ate more were perceived as being more masculine.

I am a big eater. Women have commented on this. They love to watch me eat and feed me.

If you order a salad, she may perceive you as being cheap. This may turn her off. I think your idea could backfire in many situations. Be careful.....

Just Do It!

1) Progress always involves risk: you can't steal second base and keep your foot on first.

2) Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.

3) You never really lose until you stop trying.

true dat DJ florida. I've heard from girls that guys who eat less than they do are turnoffs. So try to eat masculliny with good sized bites (doesnt mean to stuff your mouth full).

I guess to save money try to order something that is more for less.ex. big plate of fettecini alfredo vs grilled chicken brest in lemon thyme sauce with savory grilled veggies)

Or how 'bout an Extra Value Meal SUPERSIZED with a large water cup which is free(but you fill it up with soda and pay nothing)THAT WAY EVERYBODY SAVES MONEY

LOL...well, McDonalds doesn't save.

Hey, don't forget to go to a place that has a COUPON for it's salads. Try to date young looking chicks too so she can order off of the kid's menu where things are cheaper.

Seriously, if you guys are still in high school/college I can see where you're coming from. I'd tend to lean more towards the cheap but funky and cool place in that situation rather than an expensive place where you only order a salad. If you don't live near a city, though, cheap/funky/cool places might be in short supply...

Firstly, buy stuff from Ebay. Thats probably the most money-saving experience I've ever undergone. If its something you don't need, sell it on Ebay again. I once got $10 extra (brought CD for $40 and sold a year later for $50).


Thn you can have plenty of money left over for dates

Also, I find that these cosy little restaurants run by people of foreign cultures often provides really good and exotic food at low prices. Firstly, some are very poor immigrants who don't charge much. Secondly, their food is often very exotic, which means quality is percieved as high (by you and the date). I've been to restaurants where they sell food for like $7 a plate (Australia, not US).

Also, it gives you a broader taste - which also is a good sign for your partner!

haha thats some sheisty sheeyaht, shiftkey. But if you want a cheap date, why not do something fun instead of going to a restaurant and not eating? Florida has a good point too. Real men don't eat (just) salads.

If you want to save money, stop being a p*ssy and tell her that she needs to bring some money. Tell her beforehand that you expect the girl to pay for herself.

If you don't feel like spending money on a girl, DON'T! Don't try to impress her. Would you pay for your friend? Most likely no. Sometimes you might, if you were in the mood or if you were spotting him some cash, so why act differently with a girl?

I've taken a girl to a resturaunt and we pigged out. Then when the check came I put in the money for my amount and told her we needed "xx" amount for her half. She was like "WHAT?! Are you kidding me?!". I said no, I wasn't kidding. She got pissed but paid for her meal. She was pissed the whole ride home saying that I didn't treat her like the princess she was(her exact words). Said that she felt I didn't care about her at all. Then I sternly told her, "Look, if I didn't care about being here with you, I wouldn't have drove 45 mins to get here in the first place. In the second place I wouldn't have spent all day with you. I could have been somewhere else but I CHOSE to be here with YOU. I've been driving us around all day. We were getting along great till now. If you really feel that it's me spending money on you that counts then it's obvious to me that this isn't gonna work. I've shown you that I care about being here with you in ways that REALLY count. You don't see that though. It was nice, for the most part, meeting you. Goodbye.". Then I dropped her off and went home.

Know what? This "princess" called and apologized. Said she thought about what I said. That it really isn't spending money on her that shows I care. She knows it from the other ways I showed. She was sorry and hoped we could see each other again.


So there you go. Who says you HAVE to spend money on the girl?! Would you really expect her to spend money on you? No, that would be absurd. And it's the same when a girl expects a guy to just pay for her based on the fact that she has a vagina and he has a penis. Don't be scared of the girl rejecting you. Do what YOU want. Not what you think the girl expects you to.


P's

I danced till midnight when the sky turned black,
It is hard to dance with the Devil on your back.
They buried my body and thought I'd gone,
But I am the dance and I still go on.

"And it's the same when a girl expects a guy to just pay for her based on the fact that she has a vagina and he has a penis."

LOL Shadow Dancer!!! I second all that you said! When I've been on dates and the girl was really interested she's ALLWAYS offered to pay her half.

Why would you want to eat at home!??!??! Isn't that ruining the whole point of eating food outside? If you don't want to spend money at a restaurant DONT GO TO ONE. GO walk in the park.
