Hooking up for the money, worth it?

[Megalomaniac]

Yes, I was told I need to bring extra cash next time I get taken out to dinner because I eat a lot.

something for me to consider: If I am hookin up for the money, don't hook up with someone who eats like NYCGIRL.

My teenager daughter spends more money on food each day than I do. If I find out she's taking the lunch money I give her and spending it on cigarettes, I'm gonna be livid.

I think this as clear as day:

you don't get seriously invovled with someone else until you can support yourself fully.

That is awesome, I remember those days when I would rip my parents off like that. My mom has a change jar and I would sneak in and take all the quarters and fifty-cent pieces. Watch your piggy bank.

I understand your point but here is my angle. With my job I am never around, when I am I don't have a lot of time to focus on a relationship. It seems kind of stupid for me to eat all the costs of living(nice place, nice car, nice stuff) when I don't use them very much. On the other hand I do want them there when I am around. I have great health beni's, get paid more when married, get better tax breaks, and many other benefits for someone else. Does any of this change the picture?

I'm throwing in with GoldenD here ... I really think marrying someone you don't love -- but maybe want to screw occasionally -- will turn out badly in the long haul, and you're talking about taking on this plan FOR the PURPOSE of acquiring real estate and goods ... bad, bad, ugly. Sounds like what many marriages DE-volve into just before divorce. Trust me, you can remain married to someone you aren't in love with for a LOOOOOOONG time, but sooner or late, it gets ugly and you want them dead.

IMO, much better/safer to make friends with a lesbian or a woman you will NEVER EVER want to sleep with, and lay out a plan of attack. Have a lawyer draw up a mutually agreeable prenup THEN get married, you each have your "friends," but you have a "marital" business relationship.

(You know, come to think of it, maybe that's why the government doesn't want to allow gay marriage, straight people with no time/inclination to invest in a relationship would get married to buddies for tax breaks).

Thanks for reminding me. That's where all my quarters went. I probably have 4 or 5 dollars a week of change that I throw down on my dresser. I bet she's dipping into it, cause there's hardly anthing there and there should be at least 20 to 30 bucks.

That is a great plan imo. Do you know any?

I love kids for things like that! They do dumb crap all the time, get us to underestimate them and then bam, all the quarters are gone! I would do something like this:

bait the quartes for the next week or two, then when the total is like 10 bucks or so take her out to lunch and hand her the check at the end. She will look at you like 'what', just tell her to pay with the quarters she took from you!(joking of course) I think it shows she isn't smarter than you and you then you get to joke with her as you pay for the lunch you enjoyed with your daughter. Just watch the encouraging deception part!

wow, a rare insight from you.

The anti-gay marrigae lobby is mostly businesses, because businesses who do offer same sex benefits have found that single straight men and women are signing up their buddies who are unemployed or do not have benefits.

She doesn't HAVE to be gay (it just simplifies things) just a woman you can absolutely, positively not become involved with physically.

I dunno, how about running a personal ad? Hell, post up here on the boards!
