I used to resent having to pay for female company but as I enter into my 40s I am softening my stance a bit.
I had a very good date the other night with a cute curvy girl in her early 20s. East European, has a good entry level job, but likes the finer things in life such as dinners, drinks, shows, holidays etc. It was pretty clear what I was getting myself in for when she rejected my initial idea of a pub and wanted a ****tail bar or something like mezze. But as she is much younger than the girls I usually date curiosity got the better of me so I figured I could invite her for one drink enjoy the view and if things weren't progressing bail.
But she was actually very charming. She was a good conversationalist, seemed interested in what I had to say and asked thoughtful questions, and was holding my hand from across the table and smiling and touching up her makeup a lot etc. I was having such a good time I didn't mind when she wanted another ****tail and then wanted to go somewhere for dinner and as we walked she linked arms with me and pressed herself against me. At dinner we sat next to each other and shared mezze and she cosied up to me. She wanted wine with dinner and very few nice restaurants are cheap these days. But I was having a good time.
And I compare this to my experience with girls my age. They usually do not drink as much and aren't brazen enough to demand dinner so early dates tend to be drinks. But the attractive ones generally still expect you to pay for drinks and while they are nice to look at they are cold, distant, disinterested and either give you the cold shoulder or only very grudgingly let you kiss them or paw them. And because they are serial daters they rarely date any man more than once or twice and just aren't fun to spend time with at all! And they tend to be very self-obsessed and pretentious and entitled and obnoxious.
Anyone else figured older woman aren't worth it and happy to just pay for the company of younger women and enjoyed the ride?
And any tips on keeping the expenses down (while accepting that it isn't going to be cheap).
