Partner won't let you cut costs?

[MonkeyMama]

A lot of the problems with young men is that they want to date super models. If you think you're going to find a frugal version of "Insert name of this year's model", you're dreaming.

Though I understand what you are saying (a vain woman with a lot of plastic surgery won't make a frugal match, obvioulsy)... I think this is about as fair as OP's initial comments. Nope, can't have brains and beauty! {& I suppose I know plenty of men who are more interested in brains than beauty, so the stereotypes run both ways}.

There is beauty, and then there is beauty + all the frills and trappings of looking "hawt."

If you want the second, good luck.


And yes, I admit the OP pissed me off.

I met my husband playing a board game at a club. The club was free, so any guys I met there were at least open to free ways to have fun, and the game involved a lot of thinking, so the guys I met also enjoyed mental stimulation. Both of those things were pretty important to me, so that was a good start.

Yeah, I do frequent the chess club and the Go club here on campus, but unfortunately for me, it seems practically only guys go to those

Why, if I may ask?

Why, if I may ask?

Because the notion that all women behave in the same way is extremely sexist.

It's a big world out there. You are young. Go out and date and find a match.

I am young and single. I am a nice person. Someday, I might like to meet a nice man and get married. However, my friend says this will not be possible as men are complete jerks. I don't want to marry a complete jerk. Do you think it is possible that there might be any men who sometimes are not complete jerks? Or is my friend right and there are no men who are not complete jerks?

Nah, we're all jerks True story.

Hee hee.
