Broke-Ass
Under L. Marie
It seems that most guys I meet like to know what kinds of guys I have dated in the past and why it ended. Unfortunatley for me, they all ended. And for good reason. Most popular reason? Because they turned out to be broke assholes who were using me to pay for things.
I'm not a gold digger. In fact I don't even need you to take care of me, or even pay for me on dates. I could go Dutch the rest of my life. But I sure as fuck don't want to be paying for my dude! Which seems to be my condition for the last, oh, 15 guys I've dated.
I've tried to keep an open mind. I really have. I'm not going to stop seeing you because you're broke. But I have truely been taken advantage of in the past.
Jay, age 32, decided that he would "leave" his wallet in the car. I didn't ask him to dinner. It was his idea!
"He lets go eat at Big Island Cafe!" he suggested.
When the bill came he patted his pants. "Oh no my wallet! I must've left it...in the car."
"Well go get it...from the car!"
"Ok truth is I don't have any money." he said sulking in the booth.
"Then why the fuck did you suggest we go to dinner you asshole!"
A few weeks went by and Jay had the audacity to do it again!
"Oh no my wallet! I must've left it...at the house."
This guy was already residing in my dorm room, free of charge. He was a fucking bum!
The best thing is, he broke up with me.
Another one, age 31, convinced me, easily, to go to LA with him. He conveinetly lost his wallet too. For 3 days. Then when he got his wallet back, he offered to pay for a few things. I got my credit card statement a few weeks later, after he marooned me in Honolulu (Long story, its in the book though) and that asshole had used my credit card for those "few things".
Lately, I drove a guy, age 33, across the country. He was also broke. He had $200.00 to his name, which he spent entirely on candy. He didn't have to contribute a cent. When he gets to his cousins house, he asks me for $30.00 bucks. I moronically gave it to him. A few days later he asks for $50.00, over the phone, while I'm at a party. I said "Um No."
A few days later he calls me up, all sweet.
Then says "Can I ask you a huge favor?"
I answered, "Probably not."
"OK then, Bye!"
What has happened to all of the resposible "adult" men in this world? Where the fuck are they? I'm always shocked these days when a guy actually fucking pays for me. I really am. All to often I am standing behind a couple in line and the girl pays for both of them! Doesn't that asshole know he gets paid 15% more then she does? Almost everyone of my girlfriends have jobs and their boyfriends don't and complain that they can't go out because they don't have any money. Well of course they don't! The've spent it all feeding their boyfriend's man-sized hunger! Not to mention paying the bills!
Then when I do find a guy, who isn't broke, they are so turned off by my complining about footing the bill with my exes.They take me for a Golddigger and are completely turned off. Never to call me again.
That's it! I give up. I'm getting a fucking dog!

I cannot believe that guys are like that. I cannot imagine doing that. Although I am not one to splash out large amounts of cash, I would never try to get a woman to pay for me. Outrageous, I tells ya.

it's actually quite fascinating how many 'over 30' guys are willing to let girls pay for everything...i mean, 'dutch' is awesome, but it's really difficult to find a guy who understands true chivalry and all that it entails...i recommend a big dog who you can cuddle, it'll save money ; )
