    Hello, I represent the International Committee of Your *kitten*.
    While typically people pull information like this from us, we won't even claim responsibility for whatever this is.

    My guess is he got dumped for being an *kitten*!

    My guess is he trolls you all and all the feminists get bent out of whack, therefore what he is trying to do is working.

    I am a feminist, however I am not "bent out of whack".

    I don't know who you're dating, but none of these "costs" have affected me. I admire my current girlfriend for how much money she DOESN'T spend and how much she DOESN'T care about whether I have/spend money. I offered to take her to a movie over Xmas and she said it would be a waste of money, so we cooked at home and had netflix. This isn't after years of dating, it's been just a few months long distance! It's sad that people stereotype all women as shallow money-hungry fiends, that's kinda how OP came across.

    If you're that concerned about money, find a partner who shares your values. They are out there!

    If you are spending on these things to get a girl, you are perpetuating the problem. If those things are not important to you, don't spend money on them and find a woman who is not materialistic.

    I don't see anyone here arguing with each other as to the validity of OP's post. For one shining moment everyone is commenting with a similar, if not the same purpose: To let OP how lame his attempt to bait are and how profoundly stupid they come across. Nobody is getting bent out of whack, we're all laugh at the same joke.

    I was able to glean one thing from this thread, I added "no crocs'' to my dating list :laugh:

    Ok so I am nowhere near 20's or 30's so I have no idea of their issues, but I can tell you not one of the 3 of my children have SO that give a crap about one thing on that list, and I :love: adore them all.

    As for me if a date is clean, well spoken, polite, has a phone, isn't afraid to text (my age group you'd be surprised :laugh: ), doesn't grab my *kitten* the first time we meet, well.............he gets date number 2 :drinker:

    Sure we both have to shave, so money was involved in buying razors I didn't see that on your list anywhere. When I was married we did this also. As for makeup, hair, eyebrows, nails/pedi........same thing when I was married. The spouse had to get his hair cut, have a phone, drive a reliable veh and we owned a house in a desirable area.

    Just do not see a thing on that list that would make me say WOAH>...........seriously???? End of date! :huh:

    But like I said, no crocs :tongue:

    There is a strange harmony that is seen here.
    The OP has brought us all together, and as one, we collectively have informed him that he is a moron, an idiot, and extremely lame. This union has given me faith about our species.......I believe that peace and good tidings will envelop us all for now and into the future...................or at least until the next forum topic about "rude and sarcastic people", "a cleanse", "eating below 1200 calories", "strength or cardio", "to paleo or not to paleo", and "Beachbody" enrages the masses.

    In for the unity. OP, grow up.

    calling me a feminist? ROFL. Do you know what the pic you posted even means?

    Don't see what all the fuss is about really. It's undoubtedly true that if you are a man and you are relatively successful and in good shape that your dating prospects improve (although there are obviously exceptions) particularly in bigger cities.

    I believe the kettle in question is the OP, not the feminists...but you're definitely the pot.

    This one has some validity to it.

    I spent the latter half of my student years in an apartment building one could generously classify as "low income". One of the many lessons I learned is that there is a magical word which will make any woman, no matter how enamoured or aroused, re-consider her decision.

    That word is "bedbugs".
