Independent Women

Trying hard to see the correlation between what sockervaddd said and this dense question.

 

To not be so needy. To not look at their husband or boyfriend as a provider.

Oh and to actually pay their own freakin bills.

 

Perfect!

Mr Fantastic on your thoughts, I certainly think the woman should be contributing interesting conversation, unless you are dating a blow up doll. Whoever asks can pay if liked but I will always put my share or card in the bill fold when he turns for a drink. If he then insists and wants to pay I would not embarrass him by insisting I do but would make sure I pay without him noticing next time.

When I met man we were friends first and I often used to pay because frankly I had more money at the time and it wasn't a big deal. Whatever works and feels natural. Sometimes it would work out if it was 'my place' that I was taking him I'd pay, if it was 'his place' that he wanted to show me he would pay. If the vibe is good none of it should be a problem.

It is different depending on how you meet, if you are already colleagues, friends etc.

 

I assume an independent woman doesn't identify her independance by rules or what she is doing how.. I am sure that she isn't discussing or mentioning her independance, she doesn't even think about. She is simply living her life, how she wants and doesn't care about, what others might think

 

Too bad there aren't many women who think like you my friend.

 

I don't see why a woman that is conscious bout her independentness wud be less independent than a woman who aren't
