So then you secretly agree with her
Lmao! The inner child agrees with her. Hell you like people giving you shyt too. That’s natural.
But as a female, some take the desire to hoard resources too far. Like I get it. Every woman privileges the resources a man can provide her b/c traditionally the only real means of wealth and power we had access to was through men. Also we have offspring to think about. It’s biological.
Thus, I understand those impulses. But thinking like that is based off surviving. Not thriving. It’s based off dating from a deficit mindset. This need to get something out of somebody or assigning an almost utilitarian function to dating.
Honestly, it zaps all the fun outta meeting somebody new. You can’t have fun and be yourself if you calculating what you can get out of them instead of wanting to get to know them. And times have changed. Women ain’t gotta do all of that to survive anymore.
Those base needs aren’t good or bad and there are reasons for them. But ultimately they aren’t the responsibility of a stranger you just met. When you date without taking care of the shyt you need, you end up becoming predatory.

And it’s cringeworthy as fukk. I’ve never gone on a date to get my bills paid. Not saying it wouldn’t be nice. Do lie like it wouldn’t be…lol!
But somebody you JUST met? Expecting them to drop crazy amounts of dough? It’s not necessary. Or healthy.
