I've noticed women, in general, keep track of how much a man spends on a date. Then they use that information to make judgments. Making it worse, women have varying scales by which they make these judgments. While one woman might think you're careless with your money, another may be flattered you spent the money on her.

I keep the dates simple until I understand who she is and how much I really like her. Then the sky's the limit.


I think you're generalizing Empirion. Its not women in general, its certain types of women that does that, Gold diggers, materialistic women.

that is the type of woman that wants you to take her to a place like Carbone in the west village for drinks and appetizers.

The average down to earth woman doesn't care how much you spend on her, as long as your intentions are real, you don't show up like haven't showered in a week and you're not a mooch.

They care that you're financially responsible and you don't live paycheck to paycheck living with your parents or friends couch.

Basically they are looking for a guy who isnt a bum, hump, player or mortadella.

I just realized there is this comment ..
Hmmmm


Little took my attention.
You say in general? :rolling_eyes:️ of 10 women is it 6 women you observe?
I dont see myself here.
Observe how many men spend their dates and money on women.

I think this is only partial and not in general .. You are not random in observing them, you see in the same circumstances and I think they have the same personality at that time. Why not see women from other countries? :rolling_eyes:️ you say general, but that's only 3 out of 10 women i guess. I dont understand how this can be general.

generalization particularly hasty generalization are an example of a logical fallacy and can be true or false.

he is making a generalization based on his experience that doesn't mean it true for all women.

I think most women don't want a guy to spend a lot of money on a 1st date. They want him to make an effort but not go overboard. Women who are financially responsible want a guy who is responsible. How much they spend on a date doesn't have anything to do with it, unless he is too broke to date at all.

The vast majority of guys call themselves "nice guys" , most are not credible.

2) Im not confusing stereotyping and generalization, I gave you an example of generalization and why he made an fallacious argument.

3) he is basing it on his experience, he said "he noticed women, in general, keep track of how much a man spends on a date. Then they use that information to make judgments. Making it worse, women have varying scales by which they make these judgments. While one woman might think you're careless with your money, another may be flattered you spent the money on her. "

that was his post, his quote, did I misread that?

his message was very clear

its based on his experience of the women he's met, talked to or whatever.

What am I missing?

well I guess when I read Women in general I believe he is talking about all women, just because he didn't say ALL, doesn't mean it wasn't referring to all women.

If I said Sicilians in general are always scheming and skimming and one group skims and one group schemes would you think Im talking about all sicilians or just certain sicilians?
