I've been wondering what reversing and altering the question just a bit might tell us.

How many men here have had to pay a high price (not counting prostitution or someone you literally had to pay) for the chance to have sex with a particular woman? What were you willing to do to "earn" it?

Just curious. Nothing more.

Craven Morehead

Does marriage count as a high price?

I think so.

Actually, no. Never. Wouldn't ever think of it. I never put that much effort into it as far as scheming to get sex. I do know guys who did, where sex was the goal and they would do/spend whatever it took. I was more laid back about it. If it happens, it happens.

Legitimate pussy will cost you more than a hooker, any day.

This is hard to answer. Did she mack the knife because I forked over for dinner and a play, or was that just foreplay? I'll readily admit that I had and have no problem paying a decent amount for a date, but because I want to spoil the lucky lady not because I want to sleep with her. I mean if I'm seeing someone, there's a pretty decent chance that the woman has already made up her mind about doing the dew, so what happens on the date is either good or bad icing on the cake.

Usually costs nothing more then a dinner. I did buy some tickets to a Garth Brooks concert once, but it was worth it.

Not to mention that you got the benefit of the dinner, play, and her company before the deed was done. It's a little different from paying outright.

You make a fantastic point. I don't take women to places I'll be uncomfortable on a first date. They get to earn that. I try to pick places that both of us will enjoy. You like seafood you say? So do I and I know this great little bistro that has dynamite clam chowder... Oh and you like Andrew Lloyd Webber? Let's see other people. Andrew Lloyd Webber is to musicals as Jay Z is to rap. They don't deserve their fame. Good day, madam.

The winner, so far ...

Now that is sacrifice!

That was really refreshing to hear. There are still a handful of men that think like you. They're difficult to weed out though.

OutCast

I actually like to spoil them after I've been dating for a while. I would rather know they want my company, other then them just wanting stuff.

jewels

Can't blame you for that, although I think that sometimes you just know. But there are lots of women that are in relationships strictly to see what they're worth.

Willravel

We are usually behind bushes and are wearing camouflage. Don't ask why.

BTW, we're actually a lot more common today than we were 10, 30, or even 50 years ago. It has a lot to do with the acceptance of equal rights that many men have been able to accept that women are totally equal to men in every real sense, and as such deserve to be treated with the utmost empathy and sympathy. Speaking to my uncle and when I used to speak to my grandfather, women were commonly more like glorified dishwashers once upon a time, even by good men. They simply didn't know any better. I count myself fortunate that I was able to get the education to know better.

I was willing to lose my virginity for it and I would have done anything to court her in order to do it including skipping a soccer match.

Marriage is expensive as hell! Good thing her parents paid for it.

Kinda creepy. Her parents paid for my source of legitimate pussy.

Paying is relative I guess. Honestly every woman I've slept with has put out before any substantial gifts were given, every single one. So you could say that perhaps they were trying to 'invest' but I don't think thats the case. My wife had to put up with 10 years of relative poverty while I was in school and money was never her motivation, she could have had far more 'sure things' while waiting a decade for me to get going if that were the case.

Perhaps its because I truly treated women as an equal partnership in a relationship as in they equally want to get laid and equally want to be with me, and if they want me to like them for who they are then they better like me for who I am and not what I can give them.

I have damn close to a perfect marriage, I feel sorry for you guys who have had crappy luck with women in that regard.

It was 1983 and I met her in a bar. She looked like Kim Wilde. The next week I spent $80 on dinner and drinks. This was 1983, mind you. It was well worth it.
She liked it like I liked it.
Damn what ever happened to that girl?!

why would you want to weed them out (of the potential dates pool)?

wouldn't you rather weed them in?

I have paid about $100 including food, booze and gas, but I believe that $100 in exchange for a good fuck is a swell deal.

There are a lot of us actually, considerable more than a handful. You're probably looking in the wrong places. And, no need to weed us out.

Craven Morehead

Oh shit, busted. Me, too.

casual user

you get what you pay for, and legitimate pussy is way better than hooker sex

Fotzlid

aside from being nice to various asshole friends, havent had to pay too high a price.

jewels

Heheh, NO. Weed them out as exceptions to the norm, silly. The rest get sprayed with Roundoff.

Mantus

Hard to answer. I've never spent more than $50CND on a date. I used to have a policy that the most I'd spend is a few bucks for coffee in order to get to know a girl and wouldn't invest anymore until after I've slept with her.

However I've gone to great lengths in order to improve myself and learn about women for the sake of getting them into my bed. The time, energy and money invested into this part of my life is staggering to say the least. In the end it was worth it though. It made me a better person and gave me many unforgettable experiences.

Yay for girls!

As Will had brought up, I think that men have sort of reevolved. (cough) I'm about half his age. I've never known men within 10 years of my age who are that way, but I have dated a couple of men in their late 50s or so that really know how to make a woman feel desired!

I'm not talking about treating a woman with class and respect; it's this joy in having a woman that makes him want to give her everything beautiful that's totally genuine and romantic. Kinda hard to explain.
