This is one of those "no duh" studies, but we'll go ahead and tell you about it anyway. A recent study found that men are willing to pay for a date if she’s pretty, How About We reports. Like you didn't already know that ...

first date

But it kind of works both ways. The more attractive a man is, the more women expect him to pay, the study from University of St. Andrews in Scotland found. AND, people who find themselves attractive think they DESERVE to be treated. The nerve!

Here's the good news: If he DOESN'T offer to pay, well, he might be "just not that into you." Which we kind of already figured, but it's a good rule of thumb. And if SHE doesn't expect you to pay, well, she might not think you're all that. Bottom line: Guys, if you like her, and if you think she likes you, you should probably open up the wallet ...

    Some guy who had been trying to get me to like him saw me at the same restaurant two Sundays in a row. He knew nothing about me but my name and that I had a boyfriend. He bought my meal for me that second Sunday and his attraction to me was based on looks but his decision to tell the manager that he wanted to pick up my bill was based upon how nice I was the week before. I kindly let him know that I was taken. While many "hot chicks" get free meals and such I believe it has more to do with your attitude and their desire to know more about you and the want to be liked by you. Looks can take you places but if you have a sour attitude then it won't do you any good. It's best to remember that a nice attitude will only further compliment the positive things about you. The pretty girl may get that first and last free meal, but... You know the rest.

    Pretty women might get a few dinners bought for her by going on 1st dates but its the girl with personality will get farther than a first date meaning she will probably have more dinners bought for her.

    A guy is likely to hock his liver, for a chance with a pretty girl. However, dinner would be a cheaper alternative?....Just a thought...

    Is a girl more likely to buy dinner for a pretty guy?

    I've met more attractive men than attractive women who expect to trade on their looks. The attractive women usually want to be taken more seriously and appreciated for their inner qualities, not just their looks.
  • sundance RevBH 2012/06/30 05:44:17 (edited)

    While that pendulum swings both ways, I would agree that more woman are interested in people seeing the "inner woman". However, their looks can be (and often are), a viable alternative. Men, as a general rule, have little or no interest in "inner" anything, unless inner means "yes"...Just a thought...

    I know MANY smart, beautiful women who realize their looks are a tool they can use to get what they want. The very smartest ones also realize that they won't be able to depend on that for their entire lives, and they develop more dependable skills to serve them longer. I met quite a few in law school.

    The dumber ones get a lot of plastic surgery.....Just sad and desperate.

    I think they are more likely to buy dinner for an EASY girl...I'm sure pretty would be an added bonus for them though.
