Online dating: how much has a men spent on you (£) before you "do the deed"?

Tell me your age and how much a man has spent in total on you before you would do the deed with him (on average)?

Yes I know it's not at all about the money, it's about the emotional connection, quality time spent, and is very individual per person but I'm curious to know the financial side of things.

I usually pay them to have sex with me

Failed relationships and a failed marriage behind me. I thought it was about the spark and how well you got on before you DTD. Wish I'd known it was down to how much they spend on you. My relationship history could have been so different Hmm

There was a story in a place that I used to work that one of the building control officers tried to have sex with one of the admin staff in his car, when she refused he said "but I bought you a prawn sandwich" , so circa 1983 about £2 was the male expectation.

Is your pussy like a toll road?

I am a female asking..
Thank you to some of the ones that have answered my question.

I don't see why this could cause such uproar as if it was racism or something along those lines.

I was simply curious - yes a man can say all the right things, do all the right things (e.g. hold the door open, smile, learn enough about you to appear as if they've got the same interests, aspirations, etc. as you but not everyone can put their money where their mouth is). In my experience, it seems the ones who would actually be willing to take you on nice dates, spend money to buy flowers etc. often seem to care more than those who simply rely on their sense of humour and charm (they often turn out to be awful people) - yes it's not always the rule and there's tons of sleazy men who expect to bed you just coz they've bought you something which is very wrong.

I'm not saying a man is entitled to sleep with a woman just coz he paid a certain amount, nor am I saying a woman has to wait until she's had a certain amount of money spent on her before sleeping with him.

It seems fairly normally to ask "who (the man or the woman) pays for the first date"? so I don't feel this is a hugely worse question than that.

I know if the wrong person offered me even a million quid, I'd say no but I also know even if someone I reallyyyy liked hadn't spent a penny on me, I would also say no. It's not about financial profit (I'd happily buy them gifts of equal or greater value in exchange) but it's the thought.

Lots of people openly discuss the price of engagement rings and boast about it etc. - if what you're all saying is right, women should just expect a £5 plastic ring but nearly every bride gets a somewhat fancy ring - hardly means she was being selfish and only agreed to marry him for the ring.

The reason I asked was to gauge an idea on the current dating climate - we all know in the past, men would pay for a large proportion/all of it due to women not having careers, etc. and it's slowly moved to halfsies but there's always some women who expect a man to pay etc. I think it's a nice gesture - though really dislike the type of women who only go on the date for the free food and they intentionally order very expensive items e.g. steak, champagne etc

I think you are very strange op.

OP, I no longer think you’re posting from the 1950s. I think you may be posting from another solar system with alien socio-sexual rules. Hop back in your spaceship, there’s a good girl.

RagingWhoreBag · 04/03/2019 22:42

I know if the wrong person offered me even a million quid, I'd say no but I also know even if someone I reallyyyy liked hadn't spent a penny on me, I would also say no Shock errrrr ok.

If I really like someone then I'd sleep with them regardless of how much money they had or how flash they were with dates/flowers etc.

Of course if they were tight and asked me on dates but expected me to pay for everything, then that would probably mean that I didn't like them, as stinginess isn't an attractive trait, but that's very different from having a mental limit on how much they have to spend before they've earned access to my vag. That's just gross.

Patroclus · 04/03/2019 22:57

This is one of those types who get off on just paying women money and nothing else. Cant remember what they're called somebody told me on here t'other week.

Brilliant

Oh and OP, what the actual fuck are you on about!? If/when you have sex & how much money is being spent are completely unconnected - unless you usually charge for it, in which case just use your standard rate.

What a weird question.

YourSarcasmIsDripping · 04/03/2019 23:15

£600...he had to pay for my plane tickets. 10 years in and he's still paying GrinGrin

Ilovepinkroses · 04/03/2019 23:20

I don’t understand the question.

Bluntness100 · 05/03/2019 04:46

Poor you op, whatever gender you are, I hope you find yourself able to form a meaningful relationship at some point, that's not all about cold hard cash.

00100001 · 05/03/2019 07:41

Thank you to some of the ones that have answered my question

Ummmm, I don't think anyone who actually out a "price" has seriously answered your question my dear.

Every single monied response is in jest/sarcastic/tongue in cheek

Confused

Theducksarenotmyfriends · 05/03/2019 07:50

Do you really attach a monetary value to sex? That is so, so bizarre.

My first date with dp he bought me half a pint after we'd spent the day trekking the woods and beach in howling wind and drizzle, so I guess that's my 'price'??!!
