I guess you're talking about dustbin.  I've had first dates
at my former house in the Hollywood Hills and usually took
them for a picnic walk near the sign and dog park.

THANK YOU!

Thank you for admitting this wasn't about "asker pays"
or any of that nonsense.  Men need to live up to
"sexist" standards and they do this by earning money
AND women who earn money do NOTHING to make themselves
attractive to men.  Therefore, feminism is harmful
to "het" relationships especially for career women.

I would say that men have always been more likely to
ACT based upon their incentives.

Having incentives means nothing if people are unable
to take risks or accept burdens.

This is why your prodigees spend a lot of time watching
BJ DVD's.

The evidence that times have changed is evident in all
the games young women need to play in order to get
what was an entitlement before.  Men didn't need to
hear "asker pays" to do it.  And even then,
most men wouldn't accept the woman paying.

And women wouldn't be on the internet either if
simply walking down the street could get them
dates or when they are "busy" at their many
activities.
