Her: Me? I never buy drinks, it's your round again
Me: No, I bought, he bought, now you buy
Her: But the men buy the drinks
Me: No .... we take it in turns
Him: My round [drinks bought]
They weren't skint either. Individually they both earnt double what I do, they'd been in work solidly forever at high wages. So it wasn't a monetary thing.... they just were used to being in couples where the men bought the drinks and hadn't ever thought it through before.
yuck, horrible people. can't believe the taxi story either. as someone who only discovered heterosexuality in their thirties i don't play by these rules as it doesn't work like that in same sex relationships. i can't stand women who think men should always pay. it's so unempowering.Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves. - Lord Byron0 -

RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.

My children too are paying back into the system (my son straight out of uni as a high rate tax payer and my daughter a high rate tax payer by mid 20s). However, I think we both know that there are plenty of children who will never pay back what they have been given. That is where the singles come in to boost the coffers. I agree with PN, singles get a raw deal[/FONT]
That reminds me

If it were that easy, I'd have managed to bag a bloke by now. Being single isn't for "no reason" .... so any fluttering is ineffective by default.MissMoneypenny wrote: »Just flutter your eyes and they do the work for nothing.0 -

It would put me off the gym.MissMoneypenny wrote: »The assistant at our gym told me that in the morning, the wives come in, talk about all the affairs they have had and moan about how unhappy they are with their husband.

She said that it had put her off marriage.Not even wrong0
