    Although it's a very nice thing for them to do, a turn off - guys who never let you pay for anything on a date, and get offended when you try. I'm not broke, so let me paymy way!!

    This happened to me once, I was working and the guy was on the dole, but he just would not let me pay, seemed to take it as a slight that I would even offer. I felt terrible...

    Interesting reading the comments posted from women on here, was dating a woman a few months ago and one Saturday night we were out and she bought me and herself a meal in a Chinese restaurant, everything grand so far. Later we went to the theatre, I paid for the tickets and drinks in a local bar to end the night and then it started... .she never stopped bitching and complaining about how much the meal in the restaurant had cost her. It was the first time she had paid for anything while we were dating. She wouldn't let it go so I took her out the following week, no change, needles to say, I pulled the plug on it. The sense of entitlement some women have is unbelievable, she was working, so why couldn't she pay for once, I don't mind when the woman pays, but to complain about it afterwards, jeez.

    Such bad form, especially considering the cost of the theatre and drinks were probably equal to the meal!

    Ahhhh I totally misread your post. Yes totally agree, even my friends have friends I don't like, I just don't hang out with them, but would never dream of stopping them from seeing them....

    I was thinking more of the girls who put their boyfriends down as a 'joke'. One of my friends used to roll her eyes behind her boyfriend's back when he told us a story. Hate that kind of stuff and it's humiliating, borderline abuse. You would never dream of treating a friend like that so why is it ok for a boyfriend??

    I did the whole cute bickering couple thing for a while but rolling eyes behind someone's back.. That's just disrespectful. It would also point to being taken for granted.

    Sure was, she paid for one meal on a night out and wouldn't let it go. She had that type of personality that tells you, things are not going to go smoothly. With a different woman now and it's 50/50, we sat down and talked about who pays, think of Reagan and Gorbachev back in the 1980's and their discussion's, lol.

    Turn offs: Men who won't pay for everything. I'm a lady and if you don't treat me as such, you're not the man for me.


    Turns ons: A man who pays for everything.

    I'm somewhere 50/50 on this in that I can understand a major turn off for a girl would be a guy who gets a strop if a girl would like to pay her own way, but for a guy then at the same time if a girl expects everything to be paid for her like take, take, take.

    Me personally if I invite someone out for dinner and drinks, I'll pay for it, because I invited them out, but if they want to pay for stuff like their dinner or drinks, I'm not going to get in a strop about it. What gets on my tits though is if a girl gets in a strop because I paid for the dinner - Buy me a drink and we'll call it quits, geez! :pac: Worse when a girl starts giving it welly about equality and empowerment and all the rest of it. It was dinner, we're supposed to be enjoying ourselves, don't get your knickers in a twist! :(

    When I go out for dinner with my wife, she picks up the tab, with my wallet... It works for us, she has to carry my wallet in her handbag, just more convenient for me :p

    Because your mates aren't mature enough yet to realise that the only flakes a woman should indulge are the chocolate variety in a yellow wrapper.

    Not that simple: they'd be very mature, together and well-rounded women (I only choose the best to bestow my friendship upon!). I probably wouldn't be all those things and still had the luck to meet a good man.

    Because good, bad, lovely, kind, genuine, are all rather subjective?

    Some people think it's kind and genuine to hold a chair for a lady. Others find it condescending and fake.

    Some people find it genuine for someone to speak their mind. Others find it just plain rude.

    Nah I mean a man whose not an arsehole. The rest of the stuff is subjective, I agree. Forget about holding chairs and all that business; I mean someone who won't ride one of your "friends" at a party your both at or bottle a stranger. A generally decent person. Fairly objective, I'd say...or at least in my circle we'd all share the same opinion.

    Ah, well, if you're going to insist on having such high standards...

    Turn on. When she goes out of her way to learn something (such as a sporting fact) about something I like when I know she has zero interest.

    I memorised all the players of the Aston Villa football team and got the jersey for my birthday when I was 15 because the guy I fancied liked them.

    Ahh here Legs, there's a hell of a difference between a guy who's just an arse hole, and an out and out scumbag!

    If you are having sex in the doggy style position and get a waft of something unsavoury. It happened me once or twice, instant turn off:o

    Ahh you were lucky man. At least in the doggy position you can turn your head away without her noticing. It happened to me before in the missionary position. I couldn't exactly look away unless I was pretending to admire her curtains. :D

    I read Twilight :o

    I don't think I've ever seen someone get turned off so quickly when I started talking about how much I like Twlight.

    No it wasn't a fart, it was something else ha. Maybe lufties was referring to farts, I'm not sure. If it was though, he could have just blown it away seen as it was the doggy position and all.

    Jasus I'm just after getting a good mental picture of that now. How funny would that look? :pac:
