Huh? I may have missed something chris, but are you saying you tell woman on the first date that you'll take them out for dinner to make them happy, and afterwards you assume they'll do something that night to make you happy and this works for you? I'm just confused because many guys talk like that and girls just call them creeps to even verbalize something about who is paying and what that means in return. Maybe I missed something.
Neo,
I’m not telling you what to do it all, but I’ve been through this 1000 times, and if you want to set the frame of the relationship that she’s in control, and she gets you to do something for her while giving nothing in return on the first date, that’s your choice.
The difference between the way I do it, and the way most guys do it, is if you read the way I wrote it, I’m telling her that I’m doing something nice for her, and taking her out to dinner, and assuming she’s a caring person, she’d want to do something nice for me and make me happy to.
I tell her because she wants a fair two-way relationship where we both consider each other’s feelings, right?
I basically use women’s own statements against them, because if she says no she’s a hypocrite and a gold digger who, based on her answer to that question is basically admitting she just wants me to give her something, doesn’t want to give me anything in return, or wants to decide when to give me something in return whenever she feels like.
I always bring this up with a woman, simply because it’s either that or set yourself up to be at a very common risk of getting manipulated and used, but ultimately it’s your choice, and if you’re okay with that I’m not here to tell you what’s right and wrong, you’re a grown adult and can make your own choices lol.
I’m simply telling you what to watch out for, and what to do based on experience.
But who pays for dinner has nothing to do with who's in control. You can pay for a girl's dinner, doesnt mean she's in control, no more than asking her out in the first place gives her control.
Also, by verbalizing it in that way, you're actually making it an exchange, not about making someone happy which the words would imply. If I tell you, hey I'll promote your website and you'll be happy and you'll promote my website and make me happy right? you wont fool yourself that I actually care about making you happy. Its just an exchange. When you attach a requirement onto the action, even if said under the guise of considering each other's feelings, it just makes it more obvious that its not about considering each other's feelings.
And even verbalizing it, a girl who was going to bang her ex afterwards would still say sure, and send you on your way after the date. If a girl does agree to hook up in exchange for dinner, well ok, but thats what shes agreeing to. And if she is that dtf then why not just take her home and skip the date. If I walk around the bar and tell a girl I'll buy you a drink to make you happy and youll give me your number to make me happy, she's not gonna think she's doing anything besides trading her number for a drink. And if she does that, she can walk away after I buy the drink, she can give a wrong number, or just not pick up. And if she does pick up and its a real number, I couldve gotten it from just being upfront and honest. I'm sorry, I'm racking my brain to think of a situation in dating where verbalizing an exchange dealing with intimacy in a serious manner is actually a good idea.
This technique makes no sense to me. It doesnt keep you from getting manipulated, because a verbal agreement can be fake. It reveals your agenda when dating, which is fine, but in that case, just skip dinner and bang. It takes away plausible deniability and if thats the case, why not just skip the date when she's willing to exchange a bj for dinner? Or just give her the money.
I mean, if you're picking up the chicks who exchange sex for dinner up front like that, then fine, thats your choice. But I just cant see this doing anything besides making dinner seem like a big deal and making sex/bjs a form of payment instead of a spontaneous act. I dont think Ive ever been manipluated for a drink or dinner and Ive never used this. Or for that matter, ever felt that a girl was in control, or felt like she was whether she payed, I payed or we split. I dont ever think if I payed for a date, I'm owed something. If that was my mentality I'd just find a prostitute and not waste my time. Thats not to discredit you, just I dont get your mentality.
