Years ago when I was dating heavy I used to test women all the time with money.
One woman was at the store and I'd be like, "can you pick me up a pack of t-shirts?" just fooling around to see if she would bite...
Another woman waiting for me at the movies, "hey can you get me some popcorn while I look for parking?" assuming that she would pay...
I've had women throw fits when I did this. If you throwing a fit over a pack of t-shirts for $7.99, or some popcorn for $4.99, that's how I knew they were not long term keepers. Let me just have my fun for a few months before I move on.
Some women truly despise the idea of spending any type of money on a man.
The real chicks, will reciprocate immediately. Like I remember bought a chick a $25 gift card to Starbucks, because she told me she liked going there on her morning commute.
So the next time I see her, she gifts me with a bath bomb set, because she knows I like taking baths.
Obviously I leaned in and took her more seriously, and dropped the other chicks I was playing the carrot on the stick game with.
Women gotta be careful playing the transactional game with a calculated cats like me with disposable income because I leverage my time with money.
I can get back money, so dropping a couple bucks on something does nothing to my pockets, when leveraging and optimizing my time from an efficiency pov.
Also it should be understood, that the little things
I do spend money, are early on and I use it as an excuse to slack off and not put effort into a relationship/ situationship.
And once again, when I come across the next pyt, they will be replaced accordingly.
