That would suck! I've had friends hinting they want to get me something for the new house but for that same reason I hope they don't - unless it's scotch. Then we can both enjoy it.

Also, she drives a Gucci Edition Fiat 500

Another chick I've been seeing off & on for a few months still just gives me cash.

LOL....I used to hate that. I would have one that showed up one day with new gym shoes, been bought watches, weekend "get-aways"....all sorts of things.

Actually made me feel bad as regardless of where they thought things were going, I always made it clear where my feelings stood.

Oh god....same thing happened to me once. She thought my house looked too much like a Dr's office (her words).

I'm a minimalist type of guy, so my house was decorated the way I liked it. I'm OCD about anything being out of place or just randomly put somewhere. I never saw the point in it.

Plus with less going on, it was easier to keep clean!

I'm holding out for a blind, deaf, nymphomaniac swimsuit model who owns an exotic car dealership and a chain of gas stations.

Thank you, gentlemen. I was so afraid that I was an OCD jerk but I get physically ill when I see it. It's like someone drew a mustache on the Mona Lisa.

You hated getting cool free shit?! I don't hate it, just don't understand what is going in their minds

Gucci is now trying to verify the Lego Aston Martin I said I wanted. Lady, I need some 10.5" rims & new tires for the rear of the HC before more Legos.

I'm sorry. That reminds of the woman a few years ago. She drew my old C6Z then had it framed very nicely. It still hangs in my dining room.

It's actually a very good drawing. She had some talent. Too bad she was a whore.

Can't win them all!!

I've never been comfortable getting gifts from women I've dated, at least in the earlier stages. It feels like they're trying to buy loyalty, that they wish to manipulate me into feeling that I owe them something in return for the gifts. Or maybe they're trying to impress me with their financial status. And I really don't need any more "stuff" to keep track of and clean around. I already buy too much stuff, without any outside help.

I completely understand. I love free shit THAT I CAN ACTUALLY USE. Who knows what the reasons are, but I'm smart enough to not let it sway me. These women are clearly not serious relationship material so I will just ride the wave until it crashes per usual

And there's the rub. If I needed or wanted it, I'd probably already own it before anyone knew I needed or wanted it. So there's something arrogant or presumptuous about a gift, for me.

That's why my family get me wine, and I do the same for them. We each have everything we need, can buy anything we want, and dislike "trinkets" so buying things becomes impossible.

Had a passenger months ago tell me he met some chick at a bar and took her home. He told me that he was pouring drinks for them at his place and she must have slipped something in his drink while he wasn’t looking. Next thing he remembers is waking up, gold watch, money, credit cards all gone.

I wonder has anyone here fell victim to this? I haven’t been in the dating game since 2004 and times have changed, however, maybe it’s not a good idea to discuss personal finances off the bat on a first date? Seems that these woman prey on men and get them with their guard down by flirting/showing interest really hard.

So guys, if you bring a bitch home after meeting her 49 seconds ago, keep your eyes wide open on your drinks and food dammit.

Years ago during the midst of the first divorce, a customer of mine who had flirted with me for years finds out that I am getting divorced. We go out for dinner and drinks, had an enjoyable time. The following weekend, I went to her place and stayed the night. The following weekend, she came to my place and stayed the night. We stayed up late and eventually went to sleep. When I woke up, she was gone....and so was a lot of my stuff. She stole mostly home items. Candles, pictures, knick-knacks and whatnot. Wallet, watches, money credit/debit cards all still in place. She changed her number and I never heard from her again. Strange indeed.

Truly bizarre. Like a fetish, it seems.

The good news is, she left.

She didn’t take the ice cube trays? I thought I taught her well.

one question for you cook friends though: chicken in the oven is bound to be dry, yes, but is there a way to get around that? I also realized I need to use real mozzarella instead of the store bought bs that barely melts... :I
