*pokes eyes*
I am the best at what I do and what I do isn't very nice.
Aw, you told! Mystery over.
Yeah, I've listened to girls explain that to me, about how they feel if a guy pays for them, they are buying them. It also can lead some guys to feel that because they are paying for everything, the girl owes them, or girls feel that guys feel that way. Because I think that both sides should be taken into consideration, I'm willing to share the responsibility of paying or let the girl pay for me at times, because in a relationship really, it's about both people's feelings. It's a give and take thing and I can see why to give but also take now and then, because it helps bring some balance. As said before, if a girl actually offers to pay and is serious, I will go with it. If she doesn't, I assume I'm paying with no problem. Also, I know of guys that gripe constantly about how a girl is taking them for their money, and I know for a fact some of those girls don't want to look that way but the guy is insistent on being 'the man'. Assumptions are dangerous things. So are expectations. By sharing the responsibility, I think it takes weight off the guy and girl in a relationship and when angered, they aren't going to fire off as part of their argument that they feel used.
STOP LOOKING AT ME!!!! *hides in shame or something.
I am so confident.
I'm not sure that is as crazy as Zuko. xD

That's all people want is pills. They need surgery. I'm sure of it.
The reason it was more traditional for a guy to pay for a girl to go somewhere in the first place is because men had control of finances the majority of the time, could work outside of the home and were able to wander about etc. Women were raised to be supporters of homes, and quite a few women never went on dates as their marriages were arranged for them. Just because something is traditional, doesn't always mean it was a great thing. Some girls though are not so well off though or may have more traditional views from being raised that way and feel it is a guy's responsibility. For these types of girls.. you're going to figure it out easy enough because they do not tend to offer and figure you will pay automatically... you should pay. Today, money is spread out differently and men and women both work outside of the home, both can bring home the bacon for themselves and both can also be supported by the other or parents. I also feel relationships themselves are more equal and women can stand up for themselves much more than they used to be able to. As this is the case, though I always, for a date or just hanging out with friends, try to have money on me, if someone else wants to pay for a meal, I generally am cool with it since I also am willing to pay for the meals etc. In the end though, some girls are more 'traditional' in thought so they expect men to pay all the time, but some women really can take it as an insult because times have changed, if you aren't willing to let them ever cover for stuff. It is a way for these girls to show that they are doing something nice and care, so I'm not feeling I should shove that in their faces by any means. So, in the end, it depends on the type of girl you are with. If she brings it up and such, let the girl pay because she doesn't mind and wants to show she cares and that she can do it in the first place. She wants it to be known also that she can and will do things herself to have a good time and that you are a worthy person to spend money on. Just be smart, since it's hard to know if you are going with a girl that is more traditional or not, and if you are going with a more 'modern' girl, still make sure she's not -always- paying. xD
Yes, end of year exams suck big time. Good luck with yours!
That's right. So who have you operated on lately?
Yay, Reptar is back as Reptar!
I'm glad to see more games for ps3 now. Cool deal.
I see nothing wrong with a person choosing to be a vegetarian. If someone wants to remove meat from his/her diet, that's fine with me. It's his or her body and it's not mine. However, I wish some vegetarians would stop acting holier than thou because they can and do make their choice and it works for them. Some things that offend me... and keep in mind this isn't directed at all vegetarians. Just some I've had to deal with. When some vegetarians try to act like they are not killing to eat because they choose to eat plants and frankenfood that tastes similar to meat. They are killing plants. They aren't any better than anyone else. There are so many odd chemicals and stuff in vegetarian food that I am allergic to it and soy milk tastes nothing like milk to me. If some people can eat it and like the stuff, more power to them but if I say I'm going to go eat a steak, I don't need to hear about how I'm supporting slaying innocent cows. Yes, if there were not farms, I'd be out getting me some steak the ol' fashioned way. When some vegetarians forget that some animals are carnivores and are -not- plant eaters. They cannot force those animals to like what they feed them because some vegetarians feel they must impose their diet on them. This is horribly wrong to me and I consider it animal abuse. I can't say how many idiot vegetarians there are out there that try to make cats and dogs eat vegetarian meals etc, but it's just wrong and the animals are miserable for it, despite what any vegetarian may ever say. Humans have a voice to say hell no. Animals don't. When some vegetarians try to say that everyone can follow their way of eating. Plants, for their information, have toxic chemicals in them that are there for defense so that animals won't eat them. Some people react to these and it is what gives people 'allergies' to the plants. People are more likely to have allergies to plants than animal foods. Also, the way people deal with getting protein, for some of us, meat processes easier and is absorbed into the body easier than plants are. Other people can deal with plant stuff fine. In the end, we are omivores for a reason and it is a luxury that we can all try to mold our diets to fit our personal needs and to be able to get around allergies and foods that just don't make us feel so good. So in the end, I don't care what anyone eats for the most part (unless they are being cannibalistic. xD) but I also don't think they should be caring about what I'm eating either, or trying to bend nature to their whims by forcing animals to eat as they do, or I will naturally start picking apart their choice as easily as they can try to guilt me on mine. Everyone should eat what makes them feel healthiest and what they enjoy.
Very cool. Nice job. Like the chat room even if I was the only one there. xD.
Take care Rayku and I wish you and your mom the best. Be well.
Welcome back, Higherbeing! ~~
