I’m totally with you on that one, it’s not just you who come across cheap guys. All I wanted for valentines was one lousy card. My roommate demanded (and received) flowers and an evening out from her man, what did i get from the guy I’ve been dating for 6 months…. an email.

ok so there was a picture of some flowers contained in the email, but I don’t think modern women should ever be satisfied with that no matter how much technology advances!

“Any single, available employed, generous, fairly decent looking God fearing men available out there? Im looking!”

Yes miss, they are out there. The problem is, the only reason they’re single is because it’s illegal for them to marry their boyfriends in most states. Straight “employed, generous, fairly decent looking God fearing men” tend to be snapped up fairly quickly, and tend not to cheat or leave their wives.

Unless you, your boyfriend and his wife are Polyamorous, you clearly don’t have much in the way of morals. If this is the case I recommend you do the following:

1. Find out where and when a Widower’s support group is meeting.

2. Find a reason to be in the vicinity when the meetings are ending, or while people are still trickling in for the meetings to begin.

3. Start prowling.

4. Be prepared to deal with a few months of him being a bag of tears. His wife did recently die after all. The good news is, “Nice guys” are more likely to treat you as a real relationship as opposed to a disposable “Rebound.”

I agree with everyone here. MEN are cheap! I have a 2 year old daughter with a so called “man” and he is even cheap!!! Barely gives me any $ for HER nor for ME, the mother of his daughter. I think I am entitled to something! It’s crazy. Men suck. If a woman had male genitals I would def. become a lesbian!! MEN SUCK1

**you need to decide if he’s worth your time

Some men just dont realize the price of a relationship. Yes, as shallow as it sounds, it costs money to date and/or to be married. I have a cheap one right now and am contemplating ending it because of his cheapness. All I ask is that his masculine, provider instints match my feminine, nurturing instincts. Right now, its not so as I am providing and nurturing.

Yes I agree with the general comments here. Recently a read something that I found quite disturbing regarding being cheap. I’ve attached it here:

Comments made during a radio interview by Roy Williams, star pro football player on Detroit Lions with a multimillion dollar contract. You can see that your situation with your dating was rare.

On being cheap: I am cheap, I’m a cheap date. Get you some McDonalds, with some cheese on it and I’m just really cheap, man. I’m very low key, I like to stay home. I like to go bowling on Monday nights and I go to the casino every once and awhile. Other than that, you won’t see Mr. Williams out at all.

You do tip the pizza guy? There’s no such thing as a tip. But I am really polite and I say ‘Thank you sir.’ … The pizza man knows, when he comes to my address, he’s coming for free.

If you’re on a date and she wants to go to a nice place, what do you do? I might just take her to the casino and get her a free buffet. If I did take a date out to a nice place, I’d take her to a nice place, like a Red Lobster or something. It wouldn’t be Morton’s or nothing like that.

First of all, I don’t care if women have gone a long way since the “old days”. Yes women are free to work and have control of their lives and don’t need men to support them. With that said, I don’t think the traditional roles between a man and a woman will ever change. There’s a lot of be said about a man who picks his date up, takes her to a nice restaurant, and gives her flowers afterward. That’s why people call it “courting”, and from the looks of it I don’t think some men know what it means any more. Luckily I’ve been fortunate enough to have dated some very generous men in my life thus far, and I find that when I meet someone now I can’t help but always get really turned off if the guy is cheap, especially if he makes a lot of money. What’s the point of dating someone with money if he won’t enjoy it for himself or with you. You’re better off having a girls night out with your friends, at least with them at the end you won’t feel like it was a waste of makeup to get ready.

I came to US 20 years ago from Europe, and let me tell you, there is a big difference between europian men and American. In Europe they would never make you pay half the bill, and then expect to get laid. American men are extremely cheap. They blame it all on emancipation. “You wanted it, now pay for yourself”. I had couple of those experiences, couldn’t get it at first what was going on. The tricks that one of the guys used not to take me out, you wouldn’t believe. And he was not a poor guy at all;very nice house, car, vacations every 2-3 months. He would buy a cheapest wine for me, never asked me which one I liked. Was probably afraid to hear the answer. Within one year he took me out to eat 2 times, and for a drink 2 times, and one time to the movie. I would come to his house, stay there for 3-4 hours and he wouldn’t even offer anything to eat. How it ended, he promised to take me out for 1 year so-called anniversary somewhere nice as he said. and then when I came to his house, pretended that he forget, put his beach shorts on, sat on a couch with me, tried to have sex right away, and when I said ‘so, we are not going anywhere’, he said.’o, if you want to…’ Can you believe it? I am a great cook, so I would cook for him and bring him food, he of-course liked that!!. Will never do it again. Was very hard for me to leave him. Besides his cheapness, he was a grea guy, handsome, great in bed, very considerate when it came to sex. I think he was trying to replace his spending a little money with great sex, I don’t know. But, yes, was heart broken. Still Think about it all the time. He lost me because of his ridiculous cheapness. And I didn’t even asked for much. I didn’t asked to pay my bills, or take me on vacation, just a little night out from now and then. O, well, his loss.

Why are all women so money hungry, anyways? Nowadays, u have a job and can afford to pay at least for yourself. Don’t u people have an ounce of self respect?
It seems all you women folk care about is how much money u can extort from a man. Its really sad.
Well here is an insider info…men acts cheap because they want to test a womens’ character…and all of u if fail so miserably..

Cheap !! You girls don’t know what cheap is !!
My cheap American husband came home today and said.. I have got something for you!!
I’m all excited as have got nothing from him for so long.
He pulled out of his pocket a b/w piece of paper which was a calendar ordering docket. He accounced he pulled out of the middle of his calendar at work.
I thought maybe I was going to get to order one..not very exciting but better than nothing.. think again!!
No, the order form was my gift and the calendars could not be delivered to my country which he realised before giving me the scrap of b/w paper.
I am stunned at his cheapness and insulted that’s all I am worth to him.
Should I divorce this cheap skate girls?

Wow! I love this Site! You would not believe how much it has helped me. I felt like I was alone in my experiences and somber feelings towards relationships. I have come across too much cheap men, that i now believe its a North American epidemic that has infected our men.

see thats why being a smart, financialy secure, sexy, single woman is the key. self defense skills also cant be overstated (in the case of an attempted rape for all the aforementioned qualities)

because money buys security you MORON. contrary to popular belief there is nothing much men of today can offer women. even more so the secure uneedy ones. all of u are just an advanced breed of leeches. our self respect has been lost since the times when men dictated the role of women in society =). please refrain from being double standard.

or maybe they’re just cheap full stop. and looking for a free fuck until theyve loosened a vagina before moving on. i think that give;s a more accurate picture.

my boyfriend makes two times what I do, $10,000 a month. He always breaks up with me before the holidays and has never bought me a single gift in three years.

100% in agreement. Don’t go on a 2nd date with a man ungracious to foot the bill. Any man who doesn’t automatically do that esp when he did the asking (as most do) knows nothing about dating and how women tick. I’m not talking about forever, but certainly for the first few to several dates. Sure, they complain what about feminism and women want to be equal, but some things remain timeless (just like men are still traditional and conservative about sex, while they like it when they don’t have to wait long to get it from a woman, usually won’t ever consider her serious girlfriend and wife material – they think how many other guys has she done this with before me, and after me?), and when a man begrudges picking up the tab he obviously doesn’t value you. If he’s like that in the beginning when first impressions are important, he’ll be worse with you later chances are. I esp love it *sarcasm* when a guy doesn’t pay, or worse yet, you pay for him as well, and expects sex. Go pick up some drunk or desperate girl and stop wasting women like us’ time.

Bottom line, if a guy’s a tightwad – cut your losses right away and run! Like the saying goes – cheap with the wallet, cheap with the heart.

Jesus, The more I read this site the more I feel like killing myself as compensation for women’s suffering.

Reading all of the posts has made me realise that my friends wife who is foreign and loves to say “all men need a nagging wife behind them” and is usually complaining about him, really does have justification to do it based on the things he has done. Cheap, yes, you are right. The trouble is that he is a really tough man, very respectable and respecting and certainly not a dog. I think his trouble is that he suffers from delusions and rose tinted spectacle syndrome which is what drives her mad. This causes him to act a bit like a naughty boy is all I can say. I know he has been unfaithful and so does she. I think after she threw a few cups at him and told him like it is he realised the error of his ways. He should never have done that to her because she has many qualities. I do wonder if he will learn.

This of course is no worse than employees working for an employer who has rose tinted specs as well.

You women deserve no respect, as you have no personal integrity yourselves. Funny how you speak from one side of your mouth of desiring men consider you equals, and from the other you accost men for not providing for you as tradition would dictate. – The worse part is that you see no wrong in it.

Simple, because we actually have to work and break our backs to get our paycheck. 99% of women just put on make up, tempt the boss and sit in the AC all day, what a tough job. Why is it when we buy something for ourself, women always get pissy and bitchey about not buying anything for them?

@cornholepopper:

I’m curious, how did a “manly man” like you end up on a I Hate Men site lol

I hate reading the replies that you lame ass men write here. This entire thing is about men not treating a special woman in their life with respect. NOT ABOUT WHO MAKES MORE MONEY !!! Its about a man treating a woman with respect… paying her way… bringing a small gift… thinking of her before himself. That goes a long way in making a woman feel special and that she is cared for. I have found during my years on this earth that the men who make the most money are the absolutely cheapest B*******s on this planet. The more they make, the more they don’t want to part with a dime on you… but they have 2 BMWs, a jet ski, a home on the lake, Hugo Boss clothing, etc., but they don’t want to drop money on a woman even when dating her for a year! Happened to me too and I kicked that sorry jerk to the curb.

Ladies deserve respect… and when I started respecting myself and expecting any man I dated to pick me up at my home, pay my way, open doors and YES buy me small gifts. Men… this entire thing has nothing to do with how much money you make or we make. Its about manners, caring, respect for a lady in your life. Man up and treat your lady special and spend some $ on her and you will be glad you did.

LOL!! I hate to say it but I actually agree with some of the blokes on this one.

Serioiusly, we DO live in a world of equality now, meaning we both work. It is very nice when a man pays for the first date, when he asks you out and I am alway’s flattered. I also alway’s offer to foot 1/2 the bill, though usually my offer is turned down.

Any dates beyond that, should be 1/2 each and I would likely insist upon it.

And getting annoyed because a guy doesn’t buy you flowers on a first date? Good Greif!!!

Some people have very funny ideas on what respect is. If you expect a man to pay all the time, buy things all the time then I would suggest you are not respecting him, not the other way around.A man works just as hard as I do, and he isn’t working for the privaledge of buying a spoilt princess pretty things. He’s working for himself, just as I am.

The only time I would consider “footing the bill” to be his responsibility is if you have a child, there isn’t much you can do about requiring some time at home, where you aren’t bringing in a pay check. This is just biology, so if he wants kids, then yes he’s going to have to deal with that to a degree. A woman can also help, by being extrememly frugal during this time before she goes back to work(if she is going to do that), and making every penny stretch as a matter of respect for the money he is earning.

But seriously, there are still a lot of men out there that would take pride in providing for a wife and family and be willing to do it, but if you expect it, believe you are entitled to it and show no grattitude for what he’s doing then you don’t deserve him.

I get some of these comments….1st date to mcdonalds? Yeah that’s a joke, but seriously ladies, we fought for equaity, and we now have equality. That’s the funny thing about having the RIGHT to earn a living. We are now expected to do so. We can’t have our cake and eat it too.

Wow, this really is intriguing. Well, ladies, women are not the only people who hate cheap people. A lot of guys do as well. I think most guys have a “Cheap” friend who drives them as nuts as said guys do you gals.
Ok, that said, not all of us are cheap. Heck, I paid for an airline ticket for my then girlfriend to fly down from the Windy City to New Orleans so we could be together for the weekend. Money was tight for her and I wasn’t doing all that bad at the time. I ALWAYS paid when we went out to dinner. It wasn’t a thing of being cheap or her ‘gold digging’. She did many nice things for me as well. It was a give and take thing on both ends. You women, who think a guy should do everything for you are living a lie. But, you cheap guys who think a woman should ‘put out’ just because you are the man will end up like a lot of my cheap friends,.. middle aged and still hanging out in bars growing beer guts and actually thinking they are not invisible to attractive, intelligent women. Bottom line is no one likes cheap people. Be they men or women. It is just that in my experience, cheap men FAR outnumber cheap women or gold diggers.
If you have a cheap boyfriend. Dump him! He won’t change. Guys, if you have a gold digging girlfriend, you will never be able to keep her happy. Neither type of person is attractive in my book.

lol… I’m kind of agree wth you. If my BF makes more money than me, I would hope he can pay for the most of part.
Sigh. Just hope guys can be thoughtful, but they don’t.
Lots of them are being selfish, and want to have a gf/a relationship without paying for anything

They are assholes. I just had a guy I’ve been seeing get me excieted to go out to eat somewhere with him. He said he’s been craving that food, then at the end of the meal, tells me it’s my turn to pay! WTF! Killed the mood and night. I hate cheap guys. We don’t need them! No one does! They are users and leeches! Losers!
