It just seems that...Nothing wrong with that at all. It just seems that some men don't want women to pay at all, ever. Barring that possibility, the system you mention sounds wonderful.<BR/><BR/>And be thankful that you were never part of the Jewish dating scene. I don't know what it's like for men (obviously), but women are subjected to profiles that say things like (these are <B>direct</B> quotes):<BR/><BR/>> My ideal match would be a fine<BR/>> modern Orthodox girl, although to <BR/>> the modern side, I would want her<BR/>> covering her hair and dressing <BR/>> properly. Someone who likes to <BR/>> have a good time (like <BR/>> Adventurous), Attractive looking,<BR/>> to the taller and thinner side, <BR/>> and easy to deal with."<BR/><BR/>Easy to deal with?!? My foot!<BR/><BR/>-and-<BR/><BR/>> I'm looking for a nice girl who is <BR/>> easy-going. A good-hearted person <BR/>> who gets along well with others - <BR/>> especially me :) Preferably she <BR/>> pays attention to the world around <BR/>> her and has something to say about > it. Not opinionated, more <BR/>> interested and curious.<BR/><BR/>All issues of poor English and writing aside, my burning question upon reading this profile was: What should she have to say about the world if not her <I>opinion</I>? She should spout other people's opinions?<BR/><BR/>I was going to devote a post to this, but decided that I'd rather hide in the comments for now. I may change my mind later. Or not.Abacaxi Mamaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06604184268628243496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11850330.post-1136894447918609352006-01-10T07:00:00.000-05:002006-01-10T07:00:00.000-05:00I consider myself lucky to never have been part of...I consider myself lucky to never have been part of the Jewish Dating scene - Sarah and I fell for each other when we first met (or at least I fell for her, and do a great "stalker" routine ;) <BR/><BR/>So my comments on dating are a bit dated (rimshot!) and might not be reflective of anything in particular.<BR/><BR/>Is there something broken in the system where the guy pays for the first date, and then after that it's either switch-off, or "asker pays"? If not, why fix it?Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16491386537225283381noreply@blogger.com
