Stung Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 I missed the "Wining and dining" aspect, I guess. In that case? I've never wined and dined anyone. . . I don't think girls do this. And honestly, I'm not a big fan when men do. Maybe it's uncommon in general. I lived in the wine country for a couple of years and picked up a lot about wines, I live in an area with a lot of great restaurants and different kinds of cuisine, I have a lot of foodie friends. Certainly there have been times when it wasn't economically feasible, and certainly there are times I'd rather go on a roadtrip or a hike or spend a day at the museum with my friends. But since I can afford it, it seems pretty natural to occasionally take friends out and splurge and spend a few hours engrossed in food and wine and conversation. There have been times when they have all done the same for me...again, male or female, purely platonic.
phineas Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 At 38 I have a few female friends. According to them we are just friends. My friends pay their own way. Period. So no, I don't spend money on a woman unless we are exclusive these days. When I was younger & had money to burn i'd sometimes pick up the tab because I was young, single, no expenses to speak of & more money than I knew what to do with so I didn't really care. I was having fun & sometimes it did get me some action but i'm sure it was because I could afford to take women out back then.
