kails -> Going dutch (12/4/2007 3:16:44 AM)

I can see arguments happening on both sides for this one.

Ok, Im playing with this Dom. He's been fed several meals by me, out of my cupboard. Fine, cosy in fact. 

Then he tells me we are going to a pub. We get there, he gives me the amount for his drink and tells me to get it.

I purchase the drink, take it over to him, give him his 5 cents change, turn around, leave the pub and do the 1 1/2 hour walk home. He states later that he does not believe paying for my drink is part of D/s.

Im interested to see what others views are on this. My view is ... I did not have a choice about going to a pub, i give full control over to the Dom. But damned if Im gonna go dutch when we go out. Especially considering control is expected and happily given at all times, no matter where we are.

Opinions ????

I think that you'll find everyone has a different take on this. Obviously your take and this potential Dom's take did not mesh well. You did what you felt was right. If it would have been a bone of contention between you two I think that you've probably spared yourself a lot of emotional investment, time, etc... oh... and money. Let's not forget that.

Find someone who will appreciate that you're more than willing to cook for them when they're in your home... but who has an old-fashioned mentality when it comes to dating. If you can get all of the other fun particulars to work out (politics, religion, kink, etc.) all the better.

Best of luck to you with your search.



kyraofMists -> RE: Going dutch (12/4/2007 4:00:39 AM)

To me, saying that you are playing with a dominant is not the same thing as being in a D/s relationship with a dominant where you have transferred authority to them. 

It would depend on what type of relationship you actually have and what you want out of it.

In my relationship, all the money belongs to him whether it comes from my work, Alandra's or his.  He has authority over how that money is spent.  If he wants the money to come out of the bank account in my name, then it does.  He uses the money in the best way possible for the family as a whole.

Geez he could have at least argued that he didn't want you to have a drink which is why he only gave you enough money for one LOL I would have done exactly as you did, walked the walk.

Hi kails
So, what I got from your post is that he's the one that invited you to go to the pub with him.  That said, he should have offered to pay for your drink IMO.  When my Sir invites me to dinner he pays.  When we meet for lunch or dinner on occasion we'll go dutch, and there are times when I pay as well.  It just depends on the situation and circumstances.

I gotta tell ya, when I read that you left the pub and walked home I got the biggest grin on my face.... wooo hooo you go girl!  If anything, you made a clear statement that his actions were rude and not acceptable!  [:D]

We got a thing in the states, I'll buy if you fly........(you flew he should have...well, bought)

It is said, once you go black you'll never go back....

But this seems to be more the case of:
If you're going Dutch, he ain't worth much.

OldBastardly1 -> RE: Going dutch (12/4/2007 5:13:44 AM)

It seems to me that you have found another Master of the mentality that just because they can bark orders at you, throw some leather at you, pontificate endlessly, that you will be his benefactor and money pig. Is it not possible to be a gentleman, demonstrate some chivalry and still be a Master?

High fives for you walking out on him.



MrDiscipline44 -> RE: Going dutch (12/4/2007 6:49:11 AM)

So basically you're a whore and he needs to pay for your time. Because ultimately that is what you're saying. He needs to shell out the dollars to take you somewhere. LOL. Ironic that you want him to take on an expense that you yourself won't take on. You say that you happily want him to take control but when he does it, you cry foul. And yes, telling you to pay for your own drinks is still controlling the situation. Maybe you should try dating a submissive man if you don't want to pay you own way?

You bust the other person in the head with the bottle after you're done with it.

Did you even read the OP. Or are you just saying something so you can make some sort of impression? Where did you read he wanted her to pay anything for him? Must be subliminal.

Well, we share the costs of our household rather equally (well, relative to our income).

But then again, I'm Dutch [:D]



toservez -> RE: Going dutch (12/4/2007 7:13:34 AM)

Just another person with personal preferences(issues) in real life justifying them in their personal theory of D/s. Does not mean he is not a dominant just means he is classless, cheap and probably just a selfish user of people.



liminalRapture -> RE: Going dutch (12/4/2007 7:15:35 AM)

Lately, I've had the opposite problem--men spending way more money on me than I'm comfortable with.  I want to be able to reciprocate, but when men choose restaurants that are insanely expensive, I can't afford to reciprocate in their league. I think if you are cooking for him, then it is gracious to reciprocate by getting your drink.  Cooking costs not only money (on the groceries--they aint cheap) but also time and talent.  I blew my entire 'fun' money for  a month on groceries for my family's Thanksgiving visit.

I ended up bluntly asking a guy if he was putting things on his expense account at work because otherwise I wanted to go to cheaper places. Finding that right balance is really difficult, whether it is a D/s deal or not.

Is there anything wrong with being a "Dom AND a Gentleman"? 




Sabella -> RE: Going dutch (12/4/2007 7:21:15 AM)

Did YOU even read the OP? or does feeding someone from their pantry not count as real money spent? perhaps the shoe elves delivered the groceries and cooked them as well?

Count me with the rude & inconsiderate agreement. If nothing else the manner in which it was done (gives you money to go fetch his drink) just compounded it, IMHO. I wouldn't be against going dutch but damn, that was tacky as hell.



Mercnbeth -> RE: Going dutch (12/4/2007 7:31:48 AM)

The compatibility regarding the issue of finances is no less a consideration than compatibility regarding which end of the flogger preferred.

One person's "cheap" is another's "frugal".

The other consideration is upbringing and social philosophy. There is a generation of men raised to believe that paying for a woman's drink is a sexist insult insinuating, as one person pointed out here, that it is a pre-payment for expected future "services" rendered.

Many talk of "communicating" and exposing personal beliefs; but rare do those discussions include the pragmatic aspects of every day life - like who pays for drinks at a Pub. Maybe it's one of those little discussed issues pointed out in other threads where people expect and use deceit in lieu of honesty. The lesson learned from this experience is if you don't know and would be insulted if the answer isn't what was expected - have taxi fare in your purse. At least wear comfortable shoes for the long walk home.
