I'm a French model

It's a quote from some crazy ad. Then this fat(ter than me) dude shows up. Girl is talking to her friend about how her blind date is a French model. Fat dude says "Bon jour" to prove his claim


It's easier than typing "I read it on the internet so it must be true"

@MKSixer can you translate Wede-isms into English please?

He could at least let us know how his first date with it went...

A.K.A pound metoo...

I laughed way to hard when that first came out.
Someone clearly didn't know what a hastag was before it was coined hashtag.

I started seeing someone a couple of months ago. So far it's been a lot of fun. There is one thing that has popped up that I haven't experienced before. We've been out maybe a total of ten times, and I have paid every single time. In fact, she hasn't offered to pay even once. I asked my friend who has lived here for a long time (ATL) about it, he says it's a 'southern thing' and that I shouldn't hold my breath. Every other woman I've ever dated long term has offered to pay from time to time. I consider myself to be a chivalrous guy, and every now and then I would oblige. I should also add that she definitely makes more than I do, I'm guessing it's by a considerable margin. Has anyone else ever run into this? How did you navigate it?

[upstatedoc]

Run. Even my last girlfriend who made considerably less than me would pay for stuff when we went out.

Getting much money from me is like extracting blood from stone - it literally isn't there!

Sounds like this might not be the right fit for you. I'm willing to bet this would be an after thought if she at least even feigned to offer or reached for her wallet type deal. Probably would've made a world of difference to you.

Are you two, exclusive? Bumping uglies? If answers no to both those, pull the chute.

If you are hooking up, think of it like a high class escort then.

The fact that this has crossed your mind, and furthermore posting here about it, means this is a future topic of frustration if it continues. It comes down to what attributes, of being with her, do you value? Do the things that you admire and enjoy outweigh this concern? All relationships are give and take on multiple levels.

I also remember posting elsewhere on here recently, something to the nature of "The small nuances, that you overlook in the early days of a relationship, become the large problems that make you want to stab yourself in the eye with a rusty spoon later on." This is not verbatim. I would also like to add, this statement had no correlation to my current relationship. I was listening to someone else's problems with their SO that spawned this post.

To those that know and are chuckling to themselves regarding the disclaimer; you're welcome for the laugh.

I wouldn't say run, but definitely something to consider. The girlfriend makes less than I do, has 3 kids, more expenses and still offers to pay.

[JP10]

Wouldn't bother me one bit, go make more money pal lol

Being the female voice here, I find it odd. I have always offered to pay and often grab the check especially if wr went out often or splurged on expensive places. If the guy was thick headed and previously protested, I have given my card to the waiter when he was in the men’s room. Can’t comment on the southern thing but I think it’s BS. If anything, I think it goes to character that it’s all about her. How is she otherwise? Any signs of selfishness or self centered? It might be nothing, or it might be a sign of future behavior.

[upstatedoc]

I was right when I told pickle to run correct? Even if she just faked offering to pay I would feel different about this post.

This leads me to think of other avenues in the relationship as well. I'm curious to hear more about the relationship. Does this mentality continue in other areas?

I think we should ask Sara if she ever picks up the tab. If she doesn’t, you know what you’re dealing with. If she does pay now and then, you better run away really fast. Lol! Sorry Sara. Couldn’t resist.

Just come pick me up! Wait, did you take delivery?
