London Girls Give Us A Fu**ing Break

I was sitting on the tube the other day, when I picked up one of those free daily London  newspapers, which are usually as interesting as the price that they cost. But occasionally and I mean very occasionally they help to pass the time on a long and boring journey.

I came across a section in a rag that was called The Docklands and a featured article called “The Single Life” with Tracey Tarling and Ben Welch and their personal experiences of dating in London in the 21st century.

Lets start of with Ben and after looking at his picture and reading about him, I fear he maybe be single for a hell of a long time. Now it was the ramblings of the girl that had me laughing out aloud. She was whingeing on about having to pay for lunch on her second date with a guy and how she almost had to call the paramedics to resusatate her because she had to spend money on something other than on herself. (Okay I will be honest, I added the last bit myself, but it is probably true).

Tracy went on to explain her attitude towards dating in the 21st century! “I’m all for a girl offering up a token gesture of payment in the first couple of dates, maybe a round at the bar or the popcorn at the cinema, but for him to expect me to pay for the whole meal was a bit of a shock”. Maybe Tracy is the kinda girl that likes to pay her way with guys in kind, if you know what I mean! Those days are long gone Tracy, equality is very much alive.

Unfortunately Tracy isn’t alone in her prehistoric and self absorbed thoughts. I was sitting on the bus today listening to a London girl called Jane moaning about her date with a guy that she had met from MySpace. Would you believe the guy had the cheek not to buy this girl drink the whole night. He had bought the first drink and patiently waited for poor Jane to buy the second round. Jane was outraged and believe me she used the F word a number of times as she cussed the modern guy.

London girls give us guys a fu**cking break, haven’t you heard there is a recession going on. Also nowadays we guys like to look good, smell sweet and wear nice clothes too. If make we ourselves broke spending all our money on the actual date itself, we would then have you complaining that we turned up looking like a dogs dinner. It is after all the 21st century and it is time to get with the century that you are living in and spend a little bit on treating us guys, we after all deserve it.

This article was originally published at London Is Cool, and I felt it would be a good idea to remind the ladies that they need to start spending there money on someone other than themselves……
