Would ou date a cheap man that never gave you flowers or a teddy bear?
If he's cute ....
Reply:I would...I mean, when I first started dating my bf...he gave me flowers, and gifts...but then, he stopped...which is okay with me, because we are still together for almost 3 years now!





Some guys just don't know how to be romantic.
Reply:hmmmmm i don't think i've ever used the words date and teddy bear in the same sentence before.....but there is more to a relationship than getting things.....i would be more concerned on how he treated you.
Reply:Been there, done that, got rid of him.
Reply:maybe...
Reply:I hate flowers and I would view a "gift" of a stuffed animal as condescending.


This is why I hate dating! In the traditional sense the man is keeping a running ledger in his head of how much money he has spent and then expects to cash it in for a sexual act.


People should go dutch or take turns paying for certain things. This applies to new or older "relationships" yes even marriages.





The most argued subject in marriages is money, mostly because patriarchy allows men to earn more and when he cheats he brings up that his paycheck paid for the majority of assets. When the divorce becomes final men skip out on their child support/maintenance payments and are left unpunished by the patriarchal legal system.


In short I wouldn't date anyone but if forced to by a severe head injury I would date a man who agreed with my philosophy.
Reply:My question is this...why should someone spending money on you make any difference to a relationship? Just because a man never gives you flowers or a teddy bear doesn't make him cheap. There are people who can bring a lot to a relationship that never has anything to do with money.





A cheap man is one who expects you to pay for everything and does nothing in return - not one that doesn't shower you with gifts. In saying that, if he never bought you anything at all perhaps for birthdays or Christmas or special occasions, then I'd be wondering.
Reply:Great responses so far!! I personally would not! No matter how nice or sweet he is, or what other qualities he posesses, that "cheapness" would be the deal breaker for me. When I'm in a relationship I give my all and I expect the same from my man! By the same token, a man that is generous to me but unkind or uncaring to others would also have to go. There are many men that fall into both these catagories.
Reply:I usually do.. *sigh* poor me !
Reply:depends, if he's rich but he's don't spend a bit money juz to please me, well i'm sorry "big NO NO" but if he's juz some ordinary boy, that does'nt have a lot of money, i will consider him, becoz at least i know why he never gave me flowers or teddy bear..
Reply:no
Reply:What he did in the beginning you can't expect anymore in the middle or end. However, if these are things that you like you can make some suggest in a nice way or have a close friend make the suggestion. Better yet start doing these things for him then maybe he will feel good and want to make you feel that same.
Reply:if he was sweet and caring, and everything else a girl wants in a guy (besides the cheap thing) - yes
Reply:I have. And it doesn't matter if he doesn't do those things if he makes you feel *inside* that you are the most precious thing in life to him. Afterall, isn't **that** worth all the cheap gemcrap that lays around your bedroom collecting dust?
Reply:No...I wouldnt! Been there done that...NEVER AGAIN!!! There is no romance without finance!!
Reply:To me that would be unacceptable. Even on a date a man should bring flowers, candy or a gift or some kind to the woman who has consented to share her time with him. Heck, I give roses to aquaintances like cashiers and deli workers who have been extra nice. It's a way of saying thank you. A regular date should produce even more. My woman will always have flowers candy or a gift if for no other reason than I love her and want to show it. . The guy you're talking about is a self centered cad (or worse)
