Is a guy paying for dinner a form of prostitution?

Question

When a man takes a woman out on a date and pays he knows if you go out enough you will most likely sleep together.

So if a guy took a girl out and said you pay everytime would a girl keep going out with him? most likely no she wouldn't

The reasons why she doens't go out with him are not part of the issue. The point is she would not go out with him unless he pays for dinner. This is circumstance and part of the issue.

A man pays for dinner and then has sex one day with her knowing this is what he wants even if he wants to date her long term.

Answer 1

thats exactly right. are you a Leykis 101 student like me?

Answer 2

i thought i had heard and read it all, but now comes this "question" and it just completes the deal by hammering the nails in the top of the coffin...



...so if the guy asked or expected YOU to pay all the time, how many times would you go out with him...



u need 2 stay single, u need ur independence...u stay in the shallow part of that little world u live in where u feel most comfortable because the only one there is u and only u know u best.



sex for dinner, dinner as prostution...get a grip!



thats it women, her answer did it for me...its half and half on the dinner tabs anymore no matter who asks who out...and u can place all ur blame on this all-knowing, all-thinking well-educated individual who relates food with sex.

Answer 3

Duh, NO is it is a form of courting.....taking a woman somewhere to get to know her, that is safe and comfortable for the women. She is putting herself at possible risk with ever unknown man she goes out with, so in comes courting or dating. If you can't afford it the second date, tell her. Make a picnic, or ask if she'll split. If she likes ya she probably will. This whole thing about man paying for dinner and expecting sex is wrong. Sex is supposed to be something between two committed people, that know one another, not because you FEED ME!! Good Luck

Answer 4

Well, yeah in a way all relationship based interactions are prostitution. You sleep with someone because you like what they provide, whether it be money, free dinner, companionship, marriage etc. In that way, every friendship is prostitution to a certain level - i'm giving you my friendship because in return i receive benefits. On that logic, every interaction between everyone in the world is prostitution, nobody does something for nothing, it may not always be for sex, but to give your time, friendship, love or companionship for anything in return is prostitution in a way. So, we are all prostitutes, and if everyone is a prostitute, then no-one is a prostitute because its the norm way to act. :)

Answer 5

wow,are u bitter! iwent out for 3 years with a guy who couldnt afford it,we each bought our own dinner.(we broke up for reasons unrelated to finance.)another boyfriend was unable,for health reasons(seizure disorder)to drive.the relationship lasted till he died.i paid for my own dinners then,too.then i met a guy who made about 5 times what i made.he refused to let me pay anything.i made minimum wage as a waitress,he had his own company.his rational would be,since he had lots of money,paying was not a burden on him.since i had rent and barely was paid,it would be mean of him to expect me to pay,at that rate,i eventually would not be able to see him too often,as i would run out of money!i am certaily not a prostitute to him,i am his partner-his wife.now i'm at an excellent job,he pays utilities,i pay the mortgage.sounds to me u dont make much money yet,and feel put upon.why dont u just honestly tell ur dates,u will split the bill because u r young and cant foot the bill for 2?????dont complain if u have never discussed this with people! it sounds as if u really dont want a relationship,u just wnt to be able to keep all ur money to urself.idea-dont date!actually go to actual prostitutes.pay for their services,then go home.that way,u wont resent anyone.most of ur money will be yours,u just will pay for a service,not for dinner.just do it!it sounds like thats what u really want.dont resent ur dates,just stop dating.

Answer 6

That is not prostitution. Its just right and proper for a guy to pay for dinner when on a date. Unless its pre-arranged that the girlfriend pays for the dinner when they go out on a date.

Answer 7

Only if the girl was sleeping with him specifically to get free dinner.



My boyfriend, for example, still pays for everything and we've been going out for almost six months. At this point, he knows I love him and am going to continue sleeping with him no matter what, but he continues to pay because he likes taking care of me and being a gentleman.

Answer 8

I wouldnt consider dinner prostitution.



Many couples are in a reationship where the man earns, the women doesnt (she keeps the house tidy, and looks after the kids) This is not prostitution...

Answer 9

I'd like to say that girls go out with guys if they like him & money really shouldn't b an issue but hate to say this but it is kinda "traditional" for the guy to take charge

Answer 10

it is if the only reason he is paying for the dinner is to get laid. in which case he is a moron anyway b/c he doesn't need to go on dates to get laid. going on a date is something you do when you want to get to know the person and develop a relationship.

Answer 11

yes. its quite ironic. in alot of ways prostitutes are cheaper. but with prostitutes its just a quick bang. with a girl you take out, i guess one is hoping for alot more sex.

Answer 12

I wouldn't sleep with her until after the wedding

Answer 13

No. He does it because he cares about her.



Not all dates are based on sex ya know,
