Money matters. Gold diggers can disreguard this post, as it doesn't apply to you - you have bigger problems. For the rest of us, good men want to take us out and make us feel special, but they also expect a little return on their investment.
Men are very cost-benefit oriented. This return can come in the form of home-cooked dinners once in a while, small gifts, and us paying for things. Just like us, men want to feel appreciated, and everyone, male or female, enjoys a freebie.
Once in the relationship, you may find going dutch or taking turns paying is the best solution. Money doesn't grow on trees, but ugly sticks do.
And when you're cheap with men, it's as though you fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down..
