Have A Recession Date At Home

I prefer a women who’s somewhat a homebody like myself. I’ve seen some couples try to go on a date at a club or bar. To me that’s pretty nonsensical in the first place. There are ways around common types of date internaries like the movies. I don’t think cuddling up with your wifey or significant other to some dvd’s should be considered cutting corners if the first option is the movies. For one it’s more intimate and defintely cheaper. If you are dating someone for the first time and you’re balling on a budget, if that person can’t understand that money is tight then consequently they are with you for the wrong reason. Tell ‘em like Martin use to tell Bruh man and Pam, “get ta steppin!!”

Another way to have an affordable date is to simply go dutch! A lot of women will sit their ass right there and look at YOU when the bill comes instead of even offering. That shows me that she’s selfish as hell and therefore DOES NOT get a second date! These days we both have bills, and need jobs to live so why should one person (usually he female) feel she that it’s all about her when we’re both trying to get to know each other! The whole notion of a man paying and providing came from a time when women didn’t have and couldn’t have anything, therefore the man had to provide everything. These days women have just as much as men and more, so use your “independence” that you scream about all the time and put something on that bill! CHUUCH

My son told me that when a male eagle is hitting on a female eagle, the female will find a piece of wood or something that weighs approximately what she does and take the male to it. The male will then pick up that piece of wood. The female then leads the male flying to higher and higher heights, testing him whether he can carry her weight. Women want to know if a man can carry her financially if need be. There’s nothing wrong with that. What woman wants to have 2 to 3 young kids at home and still have to work 60 hours a week? Black men need to stop worrying about dating and start worrying about preparing to take care of the babies that will eventually come and the woman who will bring them into the world. I know it’s old fashioned, but until men start having babies, their job is to care for the people who do… the ladies. Just my two cents.

pretty-cp,
Good point. But every woman is not all about the money. Hitwoman has got her head on straight. Men are action oriented. A man should be able to take a lady out and show her how special she is to him. If he can’t afford to then, perhaps dating should not be at the top of his priority list. He should devote that attention to his finances.

It’s unrealistic to not expect money to be an issue in a relationship. However, too many people both men and women have unrealistic expectations of the person(s) they’re dating. I believe you shouldn’t expect anyone to provide or give you anything that you can’t give yourself. But to not date a man because he doesn’t have money, is stupid. Just because some one is down on their luck at the moment doesn’t mean they won’t be on top later on. As long as a person, male or female is truly striving to suceed, has not only goals but a plan on how to execute them and is dedicated. I believe they’re worth a look. But that’s just me.

To expect a male to do something for you just because you are a woman is crazy. The way he can have money so can you. The currency is the same. Yes, it is nice if he does, but to say negative things about a man that is having financial issues at the time shows how shallow a person is. Nothing is wrong with sharing a bill or taking him out. Especially if it was you bring up the idea. Males are money crazy today, because society (especially women) have made them feel less than when they do not have it. A woman should want a man, not a sponsor. To God Be The Glory.

great recipe. i must try it. and please get off of michele. hell some people are out there sporting the same stuff in the same week. so the hell what!!

Why do we have to talk about Mrs. Obama every time she wears something twice? I know they not hating in this article, but in plenty of others they are. Just because she is the first lady she can’t wear something twice? How many people do you know that don’t do that? Lol… I wish we could be talking about the politics and not the outfits she wears to political events. SMH.
