LOL, and to ponder that so many guys think that this shit actually works on women!

Not that I wouldn't like to try it just to check out the reactions.....

And my wife and I have made "exchanges". Sometimes when I was in the mood and she wasn't really feeling the part, I'd start bidding for the service I was interested in. We both had decent jobs, and money wasn't really the problem, it just made for some fun (read: GREAT!) sex. I wouldn't call it "role playing" in it's strictest sense, but it was fun, and we both still laugh about it today.

I just wish I had money to burn right now....:rolleyes:

Sex for money => nope. Just seems like a bad idea.

What kind of delusional life would someone have to live in order to honestly believe that every woman has?

After listening to stories from my ex-girlfriend regarding past relationships, I'd have to say this is true.

I tend to agree with this one. Not always the case but alot of the time it is. I know lots of girls who wouldn't sleep with a person until they took them out on a nice date. In fact my ex wouldn't put out unless I got her presents or food. I promptly dumped her ass.

Why don't people ever buy me stuff for my penis?

I wonder that myself. I once was in a casual sexual relationship with an ex of mine who lived in another city. When I would go to visit him, he would fill my car with gas and take me out for dinner.

Is that getting paid for sex?

In my mind, it was fair, because when we were dating I took him out and paid for things, but at that particular point I was fairly broke and he had a very well paying job. He was also unwilling to drive to where I was, given that I lived in the dorms and he had his own apartment. But I'm curious to hear what others think about such an arrangement.

Shoulda stuck with that guy! Gas is friggin' expensive! If the girl I'm seeing now would fill up my truck every time I saw her I wouldn't need student loans!

I wasn't to be taken literally. Materialistic women will always be materialistic women. Healthy relationships aren't a hush-hush barter system (in most cases).

I may not qualify for this thread since I've only been with my husband, but I think I can honestly say I never will in the future. In my opinion, the statement was an over-generalization.

I don't see how that could be interpreted as getting paid for sex.

Does being "old school" and wanting to be romanced mean he's buying it? I don't see it that way. It's not about how much money he's willing to spend. I want to know that I'll be respected and treated well. Besides, there's nothing like a man who adores you so much he wants to give to you. Even better when it's reciprocated. (For the record, we can spoil you guys back!)

Of course you do!! You're a woman. You count. There's one more woman to add to the list. How else would we prove to ziadel that his girlfriend is wrong?

Many people do not tie the idea of sex to love or other moral conventions, so money might be just as good a reason as any other. Perhaps those who do believe that every woman has thinks in those terms is unable to conceive of someone not thinking in those terms.

a perspective I hadn't considered.

Old school like paleolithic or like Cary Grant. Cause, ya know. There's a difference.

ziadel...

was she your teacher??

there seems to be a lot of those stories floating round lately

It all depends on how you look at things, as far as receiving cold hard cash, I would say no. As far as dinners, movies, drinks, jewellery and chocolates or even flowers, I suppose most women do get paid for sex.

Though, even in marriage, most men really get paid also, if you look at it that way.

If I'm too pay you for sex then it means that that's as far as my interest in you goes. I'm not going to want to talk to you, get to know you or any of that good stuff. I'd be paying for a service and wouldn't interested.

If I'm buying dinner or other date stuff, I'm trying to get to know you or facilitating hanging out with you

If I'm buying gifts and such, I'm not saying 'hey, this is how much I care for you' it's more like my way of sharing the warmth I feel toward you.

In fact, when dating, how much do you make/have questions are off putting

If things look like an exchange, I might go through, but things will stay at that level

Pimp Up Ho's Down

I've never had sex for money, for dinners, for flowers, or any other material item. When I've had sex, it was because of feelings and emotions, and not because someone bought me a nice dinner. If I have ever used sex as a reward, it was because of the way he treated me, not ever because of what he bought me. As they say, actions speak louder than words (and much louder than some pretty flowers or a meal).

Bottom line: You want sex? save your money, and just treat me right.

i've never had sex for money but i have used it in relationships as a sweetner to get what i want ie a dishwasher

To the post above me:
Okay... I met people like you. I guess I don't have much to say about that.

True that. I've met more of these type of girls in my region than the post on top of mine. Although it's pretty hard to convey actions that shows that you respect them. For all I know, a wave could be a something else to another person.

I think it's pretty easy to show respect through actions...in regards to sex, for example, don't treat it like a booty call. Don't run out the door; stay the night and cuddle. Call the next day. Take her out in public. (No need to spend money..walking through the park and holding her hand, show her that you aren't ashamed to be seen with her in the light of day) Holding doors open works, too (for me, that is). Don't criticize her opinions (it's okay to disagree with them, but do it in a way that won't make her feel stupid, inferior, or insignificant.) Listen to her, and actually pay attention..that will show her that you actually give a shit about what she's saying.

Of course, respect is a two way street, and I would hope that she would show her respect for you as well.

See? some of us girls are easy to please...and guys seem to think we're such complicated creatures! :D

Yes, because you're like a Rubik's cube with boobs.

lmfao...no we aren't! (at least not all of us) I think guys are harder to figure out than girls...go figure, right? ;)

Depends on how old you are, your relationship body count, etc.

But let's not confuse men and women here. I wake up in the morning with a hard-on and think deep thoughts like... "I wonder if I can unlock my door with this thing?"
