I don't require money for romance. Will I let a man pay for dinner? Yeah. Will I go Dutch? Sure. Just tell me the deal beforehand. I make considerably more than my husband, it's fine. Romance isn't about money, romance is deeper, it's the little things, doing the dishes that were left over from the night before before I wake up, making my coffee in the morning, telling me I'm beautiful even though we both know I look nothing like I did 30 years ago.

I'd prefer a guy, if I were in the dating pool that thought out and planned a picnic with peanut butter sandwiches by the water with a blanket and some books, to some splash the cash clown. I can feed myself. I can cook better than the chefs in those places. Wanna woo a woman, pay attention to what she says, know her, respond to what she says she likes.
