You also contradict yourself...

How did I contradict myself? As for your pity points you can keep them. I do know you were asking how much I expect a man to spend, and I don't expect him to spend anything on me. If it came down to it I'd be content paying for my own things with my own money.
To clear what I said up:
When I said that I don't have a problem with him not spending money on me I MEANT that he doesn't have to buy me gifts blah blah.
When I said that money is sort of a problem with my bf and I, I was talking about how we are trying to find a way to split expenses fairly. It wasn't about him spending money on me, its more about how we should split spending for "us" etc.

Wait a minute did think that i meant how much do you make as in your personal income or how much you force a man to spend on you? because i meant thte former, that might be the misunderstanding.

oooooooook
my mom worked at NM for 5 years...30k/year is nothing...a lot of people would spend that much in a couple of months, just cause they can
she met some of the most shallow people on earth there...but then again the commission was good

I can tell you how it used to be in my marriage...We split everything down the middle...except when it came to my kids...I paid for all that...If I bought groceries without him, I would give him the receipt and he would pay for half....Dark and I haven't really worked out a system yet...so far I cook dinner at my house on my days off and I usually buy the groceries for it...he doesn't really help me out that much. Just gets there in time for dinner!!

Steak < Dignity. Don't get me wrong, I've slept with a guy after we've gone out to dinner, but I'd do it even if the dinner were not involved or I had to pay for the meal. A lot of times guys who take me out to dinner don't get shit
I hope they weren't under the impression that they would be trading a $50 meal for sex.
