Ask your buddies to go half ,not your girlfriend!
I like that. "Take care of her on YOUR budget okay?"
This was hilarious! That guy is a good sport and Dr. Laura made her points crystal clear, as always. 🤣
Glad you enjoyed it!
I feel bad for his girlfriend. I can't imagine being with a man like that.
McDonalds it is then!
Do you think that cooking and cleaning is women's job then,that's the role of a 'real' woman?
@@tiabangtanii2597 yes
@@kevinwelsh7490 I'd love that. seriously. It's the time together, experiences. Intent. We make a game of finding free dates.
My ex made more money than me but he used to nickel and dime me to make sure I paid exactly 50% of everything. He made no effort to treat me or go out of his way to make me feel special to him. Key word: ex

I’m 64 and I would launch any man expecting me to go 50/50 in a dating relationship. If he wants my valuable time, undivided attention, words of kindness & attraction for any length of time, he will be the perfect gentleman. Otherwise find a floozy that isn’t worth her weight in Gold. LOL!!!!!!
@@nancypicchi9224 on the flip side you obviously only see a man as valuable in monetary/material terms. At least you are up front about your price.
Wow, I wouldn’t even tolerate that for even just once!! Glad you finally saw him for what he was and made him your ex. Men like that don’t deserve to be dating anyone. And frankly, it’s repulsive!
Take care of her on your budget love it!
That was simple! I suppose sometimes, it's just not a match.
Dude,don't treat your girlfriend like your buddies
Thank God for real MEN!!! This one doesn’t make the cut IMO.

I mean, he sounds reasonable. Like he's willing to listen to Dr. Laura. He said her companionship is more important than the money so he definitely has potential to learn. Even at 65.
@@arreola891😅😅😅 65!? Yea nah he’s cooked
Love how Dr. Laura gets to the POINT.
So do I!
I’m old-fashioned. If you’re a gentleman, you pay for things to the extent that you can. Nothing outlandish. You’re exactly right women love to be courted and treated. WOW this guy is clueless!!!! Wth dude wake up
Yep 50/50 is unnatural. I could never rest in my feminine and feel protected
brilliant answer as always dr laura!
Yay, thank you!
Great advice, so true we want to be courted... ❤❤❤
Exactly!!
There’s no future in this relationship…
He’s using her, that’s why he doesn’t want to pay. He’s probably a cheap skate too
If I pay for restaurant or vacation, then I decide how much it will cost or to skip it. Instead of Mexico, we'll go for a drive. If she volunteers to contribute, then of course we can upgrade.
Love this, exactly!
Okay, then you’ll just have very limited dating choices. You’re free to want to do what you feel like, but women who know their worth also have the choice of not wanting to be with a cheap man.
@@CrystallyLavender what is your opening bid from a man? What deeds do you offer in return?
I would not even consider marrying someone with your principles.
Maybe he is jealous because as he said....she's better off financially. If he values her......he should pay.
Why would his girlfriend even want to be with him?! The guy’s incredibly and repulsively cheap. I DESPISE cheap men, period. It says something about a man’s character when they’re this cheap. Cheapness is part of a person’s character, whether you like it or not. And I can’t believe that he said he wasn’t courting her! OMG! 😳 Frankly, I wouldn’t ever even consider giving a guy like this a chance. Repulsive!
Taylor makes significantly more than Travis and he footed the bill for a private box 🤷🏼♀️at the Super Bowl
His name is Travis.
@@maryoleary2037 Holy cow!! Thank you! 🙏🏻
@@coffeecake1803 Easy mistake. I see that you changed it.
Take care.

Wonderful!

Regarding a different call: the lady called in with the daughter who wanted to bring her boyfriend of 6 months on a family trip
-Dr Laura said no but how are you ever going to learn if he' can be part of the family if he's not engaged in family activities. You can sleep in a different bedroom you shouldn't date from a distance get married and then have everything explode in front of you. Shack up 1st, Live with someone get to know them better and then get married. How can anyone possibly get married without living together first to see if it's going to work. Just BAD ADVICE... there's going to be hundreds of things you're going to learn about your new hubby because you didn't shack up 1st. Is he a slob, does he put the toilet seat down, can you tolerate someone for a full week much less the rest of your life as by dating you're only getting 3-hour slices. Marriage is not a casual thing . You should not treat it that way that's why every third call of hers is telling someone to get divorced. Get married get divorced get married get divorced, etc etc if you shack up first there would be far far fewer divorces as you would have learned ahead of time if you can tolerate someone 24/7 in the same house most importantly.
Holy crap!!!! And this sounded like a grown man.
He is 65 years-old as is his girlfriend.

Women like to be courted!
This guy is a simp. He has a fear of abandonment. She is selfish and he compromises his value to be with her.
She is using him for his money.
Hmmm, don’t think so since the guy said she’s probably more financially settled than he is. It’s not about the money, it’s bigger than that
Cheap!

If he pays for her and she drops him in the end, he will be more sore and feel used. This would not be a danger if they share costs, especially considering she is at least as financially comfortable as he.
I'm happy to pay for my 'girlfriend". It's implicit that if she fails to perform for me, I will pay for some other woman.
Since woman are so concerned about equality, I don't see the problem with paying her fair share.
I'm 75, and back in the day, men did pay for everything. I don't agree with Dr. Laura. This is 2024 and times have changed, as has the economy. Women today have careers and earn money. I don't think two people should keep score and split everything 50/50, but surely the woman has some obligation to reciprocate. The man mentioned travel, which can come to thousands of $$$. Both of them can treat the other and both should contribute. Personally I wouldn't want to feel obligated to anyone, if they were constantly paying out for me. If nothing else, it is one sided, which does not make the two people equal.
I’ll stick by my preaching, teaching, and nagging morals, values, and principles in any year, decade, or century.
@@drlaura Then my morals, values and principles are different from yours, Dr. Laura. To me it would be morally wrong, unfair, greedy, and very self absorbed to expect anyone to pay my way, if I didn't reciprocate. What you suggested is that the man must show caring, while the woman is just indulged. I would not be happy always taking, but never giving, especially if I could afford to do so.
@@drlauraDo you think that cooking and cleaning is women's job then,that's the role of a 'real' woman?
@@drlaurathat would be intellectually dishonest as one goes through life and the world changes not to at least consider rethinking your perspective on some things.
Yeah this guy seemed to have bigger problems, like creativity. And honesty with his woman. I mean, just go on dates you can afford. Or, wait for it...make a game of going on FREE dates.
Hell NO! It isn't 1960 anymore. She can pay her own share
