What's a Modern Girl to Do?

(too long to repost; use www.bugmenot.com)

I wouldn't trade my independence, my power, my money, and/or my autonomy for all the push-up bras in Towson Town Center. I'm the luckiest girl I know.

any guy who would begrudge his date a meal

Not to put too fine a point on it, but that's exactly what I meant. You still expect him to pay. Not paying would be begrudging and implies stingy. And yet, it doesn't seem like you wouldn't hold yourself to the same standard. Not the paying, but the expectation therein.

I get the impression that a lot of ladies are looking for a relationship for what it can do for them, and not an actual partnership of give and take. Good luck, but they ain't ever going to find what they looking for. At least, not with a man who is anything but a yes-dear-pushover.

the right guy can make Taco Bell a romantic dining experience.

Apparently, only if he pays for it. ;-P
