No, this isn’t a shameless plug notifying the masses that there’s a sequel coming of 2003’s cheesy ‘Love Don’t Co$t A Thing’ movie. This post is not about Nick Cannon nor Christina Milian. But, what it is about is me taking a moment to randomly discuss what relationships should and should not entail. So, let’s get into it…

 

After being single for a few years now, I’ve come to a huge level of disgust with the whole dating scene. From a woman’s point of view [a career-oriented, do quite well for herself…point of view might I add], there are certain expectations I have when I meet a guy.

 

No. 1 – Got a job?

 

No. 2 – Have no more than 3 kids? No baby momma drama?

 

No. 3 – Nice teeth?

 

No. 4 – Believe in God?

 

No. 5 – Well endowed? lol

 

No. 6 – Intelligent? Any degrees?

 

…and No. 7 – Cheap?!

 

Although these questions are in no particular order, it seems as though lately I’ve been meeting some very frugal (cheap) men. What’s up with that?!! As a woman who doesn’t have a problem with paying for a movie or dinner, from time to time, it is very disappointing when I meet a guy that rather spend quality time at home. Instead of having to go out on a date and spend dollars, these men think that women should be satisfied with chilling on the couch. Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy a nice evening relaxing in the a man’s arms. But, I’m the lively type. I love to go places, travel, etc.  So, the “cheap-o” is not my type. But, why do I continue to meet these types?

 

After a thorough session of deep thought, I came to a conclusion. My conclusion is that there are too many independant, motherly -type of women on the dating scene that has messed it up for ladies like me!  You know the type of chick that pays for everything. The kind that’s so desperate that her main concern is that she is spending time with her “boo”.  It is these type of women that has spoiled men.  In turn, he feels as though it doesn’t take much to woo a woman. He feels as though he doesn’t have to pay for dinner, buy flowers, give his lady gas money, etc.  Men who thinks this need to have several seats!

 

Fellas, take my advice learn to do nice things for your lady. Don’t be a bum. Don’t be boring. Don’t be a cheap-o!  If a woman you meet is a nice lady, smart, beautiful, and have real potential to become a great mate, stop relying on your suave wordplay and good sex to hold on to her.  A real woman will not tolerate this for long and leave you stranded.  Then you’ll be looking stupid knowing that you’re left alone just because you tried to save a buck! smh

 

Ladies, how do you feel? Do you agree or disagree?  Men, what’s up with the “cheap swag” these days?
