Nadia:

If you make more money than your date, why do you insist he pay for your meal? And then leave quickly feeling disgusted? Do you at least offer to pay for the drinks or cover the tip?

Sorry, I want an equal partner, not a household pet that needs to be fed, played with, and exercised in order to enjoy a warm welcome and some affection.

I do agree with you about one thing: date younger people, they have fewer issues, and they keep you on your toes and alert.
