"Taking" a woman out.

[SeeJaneKick]

Am I being REALLY ott in hating this phrase?

"Oh he said he'd take me out tonight"

"He never takes me out."

"DH is taking me out for my birthday"

DO THEY LIVE IN A DRAWER?

Or a cupboard?

It annoys the hell out of me.

Just me then!

I dunno...it grates. I always think "Take your bloody self out!"

Maybe it's when it is used to describe people in a commited relationship...where finances are mutual and shared.

He's not taking you out then is he? You're going out together.

[SeeJaneKick]

Nah. still don't like it. Smacks of wheeling someone out for the night!

[BooyFuckingHoo]

i can honestly say i don't think i know any women who say that, or maybe they are wise enough not to say it within my earshot!! i think i would throw up a bit if i heard it.

What does it involve? Paying? Is that what it's about?

[BooyFuckingHoo]

anything similar to the examples in your OP.

[SeeJaneKick]

Oh right! People say things like that on MN ALL the time!

Winds me right up.

[BooyFuckingHoo]

i never see it!! i must be on the wrong (or right depending on how you feel about it ) threads

[SeeJaneKick]

Oh someone on here 10 mins ago....on AIBU I think...saying their DH had promised to take her out and then not done it.

Wound me up.
Was just checking I'm not weirdo to get annoyed by it.

I take my husband out sometimes, he takes me out sometimes. I am a proud feminist and see nowt wrong with it.
