Is a Guy More Likely to Buy Dinner for a Pretty Girl?

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 ...

    Yes, though each girl also has unique external features that make her beautiful as well.

    Oh, to be young again! The 'hunt' for a mate was one of the most interesting phases of my life. There are times when I think that I'd like one last hunt . . .

    But Im not wasting my time over a girl without a good personality or convictions. Ive dated bi**hes who were hot and in the end I just got cheated on and treated like dirt. Ive grown up and Ive grown to see past the physical beauty of a woman. Inner ugliness can make a woman look ugly after a while and inner beauty can make a plain jane beautiful. Im not saying I'm chasing down a one eyed 4 horned flying purple people eater but Id rather date a slightly thick girl with gaps who I could talk to all day and makes me laugh than a gorgeous bi*ch that i can't even talk to.

    ...and women don't? Who would you rather date? Steve Urkle or Tyson Beckford? I'm going to say Tyson...Steve is brilliantly smart, has a loving heart, and is one of the funniest people I've ever seen but it probably won't matter to most women. Tyson has a great body, he's handsome, he's wealthy, and is a smooth talker...but a player. This is the guy most women choose. Though, I'm not that handsome, I have a decent job, and at good at telling women what they want to hear; I can play if I want to. I know this from the women I've talked to in the past. When I'm "nice", I get rejected mostly. When I'm a player, a lot of women holla back...

    Hi Maurice, Maybe where you go to meet women is par for the course because if you're hanging in the clubs , it's a crap shoot because if you are really looking for the right, nice girl and you quit the playing...You will end up a winner!

    I'm not a player at all. I'm good guy and attracted to good women. I just happened to realize when I'm not "good", I get far more attention. For instance, when I show women no interest, are rude to them, and treat them like nothing, they respond more positively. When I act interested, they weigh their options or I attract negative women. So, now I act the same whether I'm interested or not and it works wonderfully. Go figure. When act like somebody to take seriously, women aren't as attracted but when I act like somebody to NOT take seriously, women come easily...Then again, most guys are not great. If we were, then having a good man is nothing to proud of. Likewise, if most women were "winners" they would be nothing special...I see your point.

    I would imagine so. However, I have never allowed a guy to pay for me (other than my steady boyfriend whom I live with; we take turns paying). Regardless of how much I'm attracted to them, I don't want to feel like I owe them anything.

    Guys will pay for a girl if she's pretty, they think 'oh he's hot I wonder if I can get in her pants if I buy her dinner' but pretty girls also play on the fact that they can get free stuff

    Depends if he thinks he can get in bed with her, and her tits and butt. Then they look at her face. If they are lacking in the face department and have big tits and nice ass they don't give!!!

    "Pretty" is in the eyes of the beholder. When ever I asked (past tense) a girl out it was my intent that dinner, tickets, motel room, etc. was on me. (I was just kidding about the motel room -- that was dutch.)
  • Nintaku 2012/06/30 21:54:44

    In the USA it is expected that the man will buy the dinner, and buy anything else that is used during the date, E.G., Movie tickets.
    I only offer to pay if I want a second date, and that is after I talk about seeing each other again. If she is open to it I will buy. If she is leery I do not waste my time. If she puts out on the first date then she's a keeper.

    I've had many guys buy me dinner, took me out to lunch and breakfast just cause they liked me and how I looked. So I say yes since I've experienced it.

    Makes you wonder why he is willing to pay the bill. Maybe cause he thinks he's gonna get her in bed, later? Hmm! and I am sure it goes the same concerning the ladies as well. I thought beauty came from within, anyhow.. Hmmm!..

    "And if SHE doesn't expect you to pay, well, she might not think you're all that." Not true at all in my case. I have always wanted to split the bill fairly, paying for my portion, whether I am with friends or with my husband.

    I sure hope so, I am hungry. What? Men sometimes don't pay? LOL! If I'm not into him I'll just tell him he's very handsome but that I carry heroes virus, that gets rid of the awkward problem of having to tell them I don't like them. :-)

    Only because the eyes can be decieving some times!! It's very rare to find a beautiful woman with a attitude to compliment her beauty! "Real talk"!
