It is ok for me if I have to pay my share (only if he cannot afford my share). But definately not his share as well... not that I will not pay for the dinners or movies sometimes, but he just cannot afford it.
how many girls here will go out with a guy you have to financially support him?
This is the question I always ask myself. If I only go out with a guy who has a job with a steady income and can afford to take me to movies and dinners, am I a material girl? I grew up in a ok family, I have never had to worry about money in my life (not a rich family, but I never stave). I had good educations, good clothes and good food. I think I am not willing to have a life worse than what I normally have. Does it mean I am a material girl?
No not at all, you should expect the guy to purchase dinner and movie on the first date, 100% and then from there if the lady offers it is up to him to accept... after a few dates dutch (both paying) can show respect for her to earn income and be independent, while relieving the stress of her thinking that she owes him for always paying for the dates. Another alternative is alternate, and have her plan and pay for the date... this can really become a fun alternative.
In my personal definition, a materialistic woman is one whom EXPECTS the man to pay always and even ask him to go shopping, then turns to him to pay. One whom only looks at the material world for comfort or acceptance. We call these people, "Closet Whores" as they don't ask for money outright, but get it through other means... these type of women don't consider this as a form of prostitution but in essence it is. I have a friend here in Dubai that has a ferrari and his ex wouldn't allow him to pick her up unless he was in the ferrari versus any of his daily cars. She would take a taxis instead!!!?
So FeiPo, you are not a materialistic at all, but normal. Now the question is, would you divorce a husband of a couple years if he got laid off or stand by his side and even support him during his transition period?
