    I spend about 1c for every bit of patience my OH spends on me. So... about €10,000 a year.

    Look, I have been with alot of prostitutes in Asia and they did not cost me anywhere near €5000. For that money you could have at least 100 of them the last time I was in Thailand.

    So you are comparing this girl you are interested in to prostitutes! That is horrible. I'm glad I'm not that girl.

    I think you need to mature and learn to respect women in order to have any meaningful relationship.

    Having a relationship will cost money just like having friends and family... you have to go out, you have to buy birthday presents etc but it also costs them.

    So are you looking for a prostitute or a girlfriend?
    "The big difference between sex for money and sex for free is that sex for money usually costs a lot less" - Brendan Behan.

    I think he's looking for a girlfriend, which is kind of the point. There are those out there who will never put their hands in their pockets - or will grudgingly do so once in a blue moon.

    Of course, sometimes these things balance out in other ways - she may never pay for drinks, but she might pay for a big weekend away once or twice a year. Or if living together, she may never pay for anything, but then again he might never lift a finger in the house.

    However, sometimes these things don't balance out. Some would-be girlfriends feel that are entitled to be treated like a princess and that this is the price a man pays for a sexual relationship with them - "because I'm worth it" as the advertising slogan goes - and that is a prostitute.

    Their is a big different between prostitutes and being in a relationship, just fcuking about with women is one thing, but being in a relationship is something completely different.

    As I said above gold diggeres are different, and cash should mean little is a relationship, but sadly most of the ways we express our love and affection for a person cost, there is no way out of it.


    Once again as oppossed to fcuking about about; being in a relationalship is about sharing your life with another person, that will to some degree involve your cash. Remember if you talking about getting into a relationship your after more than sex, otherwise why not stay with street workers.

    Do you have some proof of this ? Links or its lies ? :D

    By the tone of your posts it sounds to me like you criticize me for not being a walking ATM. Do girls expect to have a walking ATM and not a boyfriend?

    Come on OP! Sure you will find some girls are willing to let you pay for everything, but most do not expect that at all. Have a small bit of sense. Even if you split everything you do 50:50 you will still be spending money, so sounds to me like you're asking if a girl will be satisfied with never going out at all!

    Plus it's not a lifetime committment! Go out with her for a month and if she's not paying her way you can always move on!

    Not all girls expect the guy to pay for nights out etc. IMO only a small minority would be like that. You seem to have a very strange attitude to relationships.

    What age are you? Have you ever had a girlfriend before?

    If you have to spend thousands of euro per year on a girlfriend there are clearly other investments that are better. Girlfriends are not exactly an asset class that you can expect to increase in value as the years go by.


    I usually hate Sundays, but I've been cheered right up by this.

    OP, what do you think this potential girlfriend will gain by having you as a boyfriend. What sort of assest class are you?

    I'm just curious.

    How much money do you spend on your girlfriend on an annual basis? It looks like I might be getting a girlfriend but I'm worried that she will be a financial burden. How much should one expect to spend on a girlfriend?

    If it looks like it will be to expensive for me like if I'm expected to spend €500 on her annually I do not want her! :mad:


    Yawn.

    If you have to ask what you think you should spend on any woman then the relationship is fcuked from the off.

    And way to go with your prostitute usage.

    She is obviously a lucky woman.

    If you don't change your attitude and actions (sleeping with prostitutes) I don't think you will aver have a girlfriend.

    SLUSK is speaking in practical terms and a lot of people have a problem with it. His non-emotional detachment and cold-eyed analysis are a refreshing and modern take on the inequalities present in some relationships. I salute his openness and honesty. If he considers a girlfriend as an investment then he is perfectly entitled to weight up the value of same. Many men do this but don't admit it.

    Personally I have been taken to the cleaners on numerous numerous occassions by women/dates. I find it degrading to even discuss who pays so basically I pay for everything unless she offers. In my experience only a few (i'll estimate about 15%) ever offer and the vast majority are happy to get their free meal/taxi/tickets/food/drinks all night. Having dated some die-hard feminists/womens right activists I found often that their notions of equality/female financial independence etc go out the window suddenly at the most inappropriate of times as far as I am concerned i.e. at the end of a meal, at the bar, when I am booking flights/tickets etc.
    Funny that!!!

    Slusk, you are looking at having a girlfriend in the same terms as a transaction with a sex worker.

    Its not a question of how much she'll cost you. Most girls pay their own way so the costs incurred are just a part and parcel of nights out and socialising. The fact that you're wondering if its worth the monetary effort implies you expect some sort of material transaction to take place.

    Relationships are primarily emotional transactions, and they don't bear any resemblance to your encounters with prostitutes.

    Your attitude would make you a very unattractive prospect to be with tbh.

    I did not refer to them as parts. When I said "these parts" I was referring to the area where I live.

    Anyone who has ever dated a woman knows thats not true.

    SLUSK, maybe you should start a kitty before that dates. You both contribute equally, and when it runs out she can either top it up with the same as you, or put in an IOU for some favors to be collected later.

    I actually don't have a problem with Slusk wanting to know how much it's going to cost him. Relationships can be expensive and if you're trying to save dates/ weekends/ gifts etc do eat into your savings.

    However, when you actually fall for somebody hard, all that goes out the window and expense doesn't matter.

    Slusk I reckon you haven't met the 'one' yet. When you do, you won't be wondering how she's going to cost you.

    OP. How much a girlfriend costs entirely depends on the girl in question. She may be the type that expects you to pay for everything, she may not be. There is no "average". I think these days most women pay equally, I would be mortified to have the guy pay for everything.

    Just a bit of info though. The two traits I cannot stand in a man is 1. Lying and 2. Stinginess. They are mega turn offs and I can't see any woman sticking around for long with a man who does/is either.

    You can't like this potential girlfriend very much if you're already calculating costs and for that reason I would say, don't bother. You will be back on here bitching about how you had spent x y and z on her and now she has dumped you and you can't understand why.

    Now to be fair, Slusk has every right to pay for sex if he wants, its an individual choice, nothing either good or bad about it. However, trying to transpose this on to a relationship is a different thing. Many men choose to have sex with street workers, the only part of it I have issues with is the person is in a relationship.

    +1 to the above really. I couldn't put it better and also have no bother with someone asking a real question like this.

    If on the other hand this thread is nothing more a vehicle to provide some amusement on a quiet Sunday afternoon, well then I wouldn't be impressed.

    Now I always thought street workers were the ones who swept the pavements and emptied the dog poo bins, and that prostitutes were sex workers.

    But each to their own I suppose.:D

    Women have money too you know. You don't HAVE to pay for everything. If you go into a relationship at the start with that attitude it won't last long for sure.....mind you if she's invited round to a mouldy house and you take yer shoes off she'll be out the door before you know it :D
