Lois Tarter: The One Person You Should NEVER Date After A Split
Bus Pass (n.): When you are slummin' it, dating-wise, and you know it. Maybe he's the cashier at the supermarket or still in school and only eats ramen noodles, but you know that this guy won't be taking you anywhere for a date. If you do want to go somewhere, you're gonna have to treat him. Trust me, this gets old pretty quickly. Being a sugar mama loses its sparkle after a few dates, I don't care how hot he may be.
As long as you date this dude there will be no limo rides for you, homegirl. You're gonna need a Bus Pass (that you'll have to pay for yourself 'cause he ain't chippin' in!).

Wow what a dumb article! Did you forget to do you job and came up with this abortion of an article on you way to work. How is this sectioned under funny? Watching baby ducks getting run over by a car would be funnier than this. Getting your fingernails pulled out with pliers would be funnier than THIS. I just hit some laughing gas and your stuff..........aint funny.

Being a woman, I can't ever imagine that happening...we deserve WAY better than that. I dated someone once who slowly started to be like that & I got out of the relationship before my heartstings could be manipulated any further! Next guy I met, a true gentleman, took care of me, not once did I pay when we went out (which, I think is how it should be, but I'm old fashioned) and now I'm his wife of 4 years & we work as a great team! I couldn't be happier!

The article is not very feminist in tone. What's the diff between the sugar mama and sugar daddy? Is one more acceptable than the other? C'mon, a coffee at the local cafe is something you can BOTH afford. What about take-out or a cheap eats place. You don't need to wine and dine or go to concerts and movies when you're just trying to get to know one another, do you? Conversation, not distraction is the key here. If you're really serious about dating a less than flush guy go with the flow. If you need the superfluous "stuff" then forget him and move on to a financial equal. Chances are you'd not be happy with a guy who can't give you THINGS.

wow,these guys must have been really lucky or good looking,or the women were just stupid. In my experience, living in the money hungry washington d.c. area , even if you make a little less money than the woman you are an UNDATABLE LOSER. Maybe I'm a little pissed off,but i would not consider dating ANY woman that made more money than me. on the one hand,it gets in the way. even if you are with a decent woman [they are out there] eventually it causes relationship problems. Don't tell me otherwise,I've been there. The good news is: I'm bullet proof as far as goldiggers. They don't want me because I don't have alot of money. and yes,I HAVE A CAR,I DON'T LIVE WITH MY MOM AND I CAN BUY YOU DINNER. Sadly , that's still not good enough. Oh well,I have a wonderful golden retriever,a fun if not great paying job and enough self respect not to go on welfare. men or women,STAY AWAY FROM USERS. peace and good luck.

If she meets him and knows of his lack of funds yet still dates him, isn't she aware of the consequences? Men - WAKE UP - if your girl requires monitary compensation in any way shape or form just so you can be seen with her DUMP HER IMMEDIATELY!!!! What ever your relationship is with her it isn't worth it if money is HER deciding factor as to whether she likes you or not.
AS FAR AS LARA's COMMENTS- A TRUE ASS HOLE IN THE MAKING- WHAT AN OBNOXIOUS MONEY DRIVEN SHIT FOR BRAINS SHE POSTS "WE DESERVE WAY BETTER THAN THAT" WHAT A FUCKED UP COMMENT, A TRUE SIMPLETON WHO DESERVES THE TRAILER TRASH SHE PROBABLY ENDED UP WITH. WHAT A JERK! LARA IS THE PERSON ALL MEN SHOULD AVOID.

That's funny...you take such offense, makes me wonder how well you treat your lady, Joe. We do derserve better than someone expecting to bed us & then us take care of him in every way possible. That's just unacceptable. You're supposed to take care of each other & to my sisters out there, if he's not being the partner you deserve because all he does is just take & take & take, he's not worth it. Know your self worth! Personally, I've always had the self confidence to know that I don't need to chase a man & I sure as heck don't need to be any man's sugar mama just so a man will pay me attention.
For the record, I ended up marrying a man who yes, doesn't have a lot of money, but ended up being everything I've ever hoped for...a man of his word, of integrity, & believes there's something greater than himself out there & acts according to that belief. He has always treated me the way I deserve to be treated: with love & respect. My engagement ring wasn't a diamond, it was a ruby...our wedding was small, our house & cars are old, BUT the mutual love & respect we have for each other supercedes anything monatary & tangible. And no, it's in a suburb of NJ, not a trailer park...even if it was, there seem to be more honorable people in a trailer park than those running Wall Street these days...who are you to judge?
So, unfortunately Joe, your assessment of the situation is ENTRIELY misconstrued and hardly insightful...but judging by the character of your accusations & language used, wait, I'm not even going to go there...too easy of a target.

Butt...I mean but if you shoudln't date cheap-o guy and menfolk should avoid golddiggers...is that why so many relationships are doomed? I think one gets burned then switches temperature too quick.

You guys are getting so caught up on gender roles and your fragile egos you're missing the bigger picture all together. We live in a rouge world where money is more important that i should be. What should matter is if the people compliment one another and personally I really don't encourage people to read these articles. Taking these little articles seriously is honestly like participating in stupidity.
"Trust me, this gets old pretty quickly. Being a sugar mama loses its sparkle after a few dates, I don't care how hot he may be."
Well if you're being a sugar momma that isin't anything relating to a healthy relationship. And to the women out there - if you're really only looking for a guy to take care of thing financially and you don't care about who the guy is, what makes him the individual that he is then that is known as a gold digger. We have just as many bills as you do.
If you are dating a girl that thinks like the author of this article it's a red flag and probably someone that is more worried about validation than they are having a healthy relationship.

Come on Anna get with the times. There's no such thing as being a sugar momma or slumming it any more. Men have been picking up the tab for 10,000 years, it time for Women to win some bread. Stay at home husbands and career women are coming home to roost. Men can cook, clean, mow the grass, do the laundry, take out the trash, work on the cars and still get a round of golf in on Wednesdays why the Wife goes to the office. Like you've been telling us for the past 400 years "taking care of the house is just as hard as having a job away from home" and finally we are agreeing so you can stop the condescending crap.

Apparently, I've ruffled some feathers. I really didn't mean to start a gender war here.
I'm just talking from experience. As someone who's dated their fair share of artists and musicians and have watched my friends do the same, we definitely commiserate over dating dudes who are broke. Like I said, it can get old.
And when I talked about guys buying me stuff, I meant like a $4 beer at the bar, not a luxury condo or something. All of these Dude Dictionary entries are supposed to be funny and light-hearted. Please take them in the spirit in which it's intended! I love dudes, even the broke ones.
