Monthly girlfriend expense?

[Alexxx99]

The question is obvious, how much money do you directly and indirectly spend on a girlfriend, whether or not you have one at the current time.


Not having a girlfriend for 5 months now I've been able to notice a world of difference. I had to switch jobs due to location and have been making 15% less monthly, yet my unneeded expenses are probably 25% of what they were with the girlfriend.



When I had a girlfriend I spent about $150-$200 a week on going out/gifts....why not just be a regular to SPs right?

$150-200/week seems pretty low to me. Should probably be more in the $500 range!

If you worry about counting your pennies when dating someone or a selection of someones, there's a problem somewhere. I read somewhere a few years back that the men of TO spend the average of $300 to get laid, whether by the short route of an SP or the hunt and chase of the dating game. There no recollection of what it costs to get laid a second time by the same women. In my mind that's where the skill comes into the equation. Didn't someone once say, 'if you can't pay you shouldn't play?'

Where's Partyman?

Sure, if you think the only point to having a girlfriend is to have sex. If you do think that, well, you lead a sad and empty life, in my opinion.

Not much, my girlfriend splits almost everything 50/50 with me, but when I do buy her something it is usually pretty big and expensive.

My ex-GF cost me over $150K in about 3 years - i had to pay for everything. I'm actually saving a bit now by hobbying. LOL

 

[richaceg]

i spend bout $140 a week and get to see her 2 hours a month.

Really depends on the types of activities you do with each other (ie going out a lot vs staying in). Personally it has ranged anywhere between $100 to $1k per week.

Here's my chart for relationships with women in life:

You want someone to go out with for fun: Get a friend.
You want someone to be intimate with: Get a girlfriend.
You want someone to share your life with: Get a friend.

You want someone that does all of the above but at a minimal level: Get a wife.

In reality that is not how human relationships work. Not the satisfying, fulfilling ones, anyway. You aren't really going to "share your life" with your friend. A relationship is a joint project that goes further than what you mean by that.

Well I'm not going to share my life with anyone to be honest.

The most annoying trait of a relationship for me is when the girl insists on knowing more and more about you including details that are for you only.

And then they come out and tell me explicit details I don't care to know.


Too many people have insecurities. I'm never going to trust anyone more than I do myself and the same goes for "loving" someone, I'll always be my biggest fan. And I say this as a social person who does like to go out and date, I just flat out keep people separated from my own little world that's just for me. I share certain things with certain people but sharing everything with one person is a recipe for disaster, sooner or later.

You sound troubled and should probably be seeking professional help.

Shooter, what about you and the blow up Japanese doll?

Other than high functioning austistic people, the rest of us get a lot of value out of relationships, a heck of a lot more than just sex.

...gawd- I've never expected a boyfriend to spend hundreds of dollars on me- weekly or monthly. A relationship is more than gifts or dinners-out- or sex...

Perhaps avoid women who don't see that a relationship is more than gifts and dinners out .... (?)

That said- if one is only looking for sex, I suppose it's understandable that that will require some spending. Doesn't that just mean you are seeing prostitutes in this world and in the "real world" ?

You are speaking from experience?

Shooter, what about you and the blow up Japanese doll?

Where can I get one a those?

 

[Buick Mackane]

Find a woman who can cook, likes playing scrabble and enjoys fucking.
If she gets paid for any one of these, that's a bonus. :thumb:

 

[d_jedi]

Well, it really depends on who you're with. I find I tend to go out more when I have a gf. Depending on common interests, this can get expensive.
Personally, I do not find "high maintenance" girls, who are only really interested in your money (yes, I realize I'm writing this on TERB..) very attractive.

 

[milehigh]

I never really counted the money, but it is in the "reasonable" range. The right person won't take advantage of you. You can be open with each other on such matters, and you don't always have to over-spend to have a good time together.

Notice I said the right person. ( I too am guilty of spending time with the wrong person).
