    Love in the time of austerity


    Time was when a girl could afford the shoes, the bag and the man. These days an A-list date expects her to look like SJP – and pay half the bill, says Petronella Wyatt

    By Petronella Wyatt

    Love in the time of austerity - Telegraph
    I can't afford to have sex at the moment," says Lysette Peters, a 43-year-old part-time barrister, who recently broke up with her 54-year-old banker boyfriend. "He wanted a lifestyle I couldn't keep up with financially, given the recession."

    Another woman I know, who at 39 still has curves that would have a bishop kicking through a stained-glass window, has been celibate for six months, because, as she told me bluntly: "Right now, it's too expensive to run a lover. It's not just the cost of maintaining your appearance, but men these days seem to expect you to pay half of everything.''

    There was a time when shiny women south of 30 with independent means possessed the holy grail of a thousand magazine articles – a Prada handbag, an address in an agreeable part of the metropolis (forsaken for Italy in August and Les Arcs in January) and a lover who ornamented their lives, despite the concomitant outlay on lingerie and beauty salons. Now, however, austerity and unemployment are compelling an increasing number of middle-class women to choose between their lifestyles and the ars amatoria, and many are opting for what would once have been unthinkable: no sex and the city.

    Too bad!

    Free rides don't last forever.


    Greed is for amateurs.
    Knowledge without wisdom is a load of books on the back of an ass.
    Scorn and mockery towards men in need is one of the reasons feminism is dying as we speak!.

    They don't get it cause they don't want to. Personally, I don't care if they "get it" or not. Of course, there will be manginas but there won't be enough manginas to go around. They simply want what they want because they want it and not because it's moral or right. If they think it's bad now then it's only the beginning. Let them fall. They don't know what it's like to be a man but at the very least we can stop giving them advantages they don't deserve. The government may continue to be misandrous but that doesn't mean that we have to be misandrous against ourselves and against each other.
    When I do this, and I know I will, it will be comparable to the lame learning to walk, the blind being enabled to see and the suffocated breathing again. The sky isn't the limit; there are no limits.

    So do women actually look like Gargoyles but spend huge amounts to maintain a fake appearance? Is that why they don't want to pay for shit? Oh boy...

    If that is the lifestyle aspired to by any woman, then it is just as well it is being tipped unceremoniously into the trash can. Because it is utterly self-indulgent, shallow, ostentatious, greedy, vulgar and criminally wasteful. Do something useful with your life and your money instead of using them to turn yourself into a high-maintenance painted whore.

    Gee, paying HALF is a big inconvenience for women who believe men are there to be an accessory to her lifestyle, and an ATM with a penis to boot.

    Narcissistic cows.

    Expecting equality but refusing to pay your equal share? Oh no! Whatever will you post-feminist women do when men realize they don't have to foot the bill based on stereotypes you fought to overturn decades ago?! Let me find those broads the tiniest violin so I can play them a sad song for their sex lives. Also, way to bail out on your "significant other" when the going gets rough "ladies."

    Shameful.

    The females wanted to be independent and want equality, yet won't stick with a guy that expects them to split half the bill or take turns footing the whole bill. This is the world you wanted and what you get.

    They have serious problems adjusting to the fact that their sex appeal will fade as they grow older.

    Re: Love in the time of austerity

    Oh, the absolute horror of professional women dipping into their cobwebbed purses. Too much like real equality.

    As with the majority of men, I really don't give a damn how much resources a woman has who I fancy. She can be the most broke person on the planet, but if I'm into her money doesn't matter whatsoever. Says everything about the male/female dynamic. Certainly something positive from the male camp.

    Exactly!
    Are we suppose to pity the wretched, overfed hags because they don't have enough money to support their decadent life styles?

    You already know the answer.

    I've routinelly witnessed professional women talking all sorts of feminist bollocks, come time the bill needs paying the ideology doesn't match the reality!

    What a shame...

    This really upsets me, knowing that some woman who is considerably financially better off than I'll ever be is upset that men are asking for her to show a little equality.

    Gosh, I'll really struggle to sleep tonight.

    The most offensive thing you can do to a feminist is treat her with FULL equality.
    Wife : "I dreamt they were auctioning off dicks. The big ones went for ten dollars and the thick ones went for twenty dollars."
    Husband : "How about the ones like mine?"
    Wife : "Those they gave away."
    Husband : "I had a dream too...I dreamt they were auctioning off pussy. The pretty ones went for a thousand dollars, and the little tight ones went for two thousand."
    Wife : "And how much for the ones like mine?"
    Husband : "That's where they held the auction."

    I don't have any tissues but I'll gladly offer these poor wittle girls sandpaper to dry their tears.
