Really?
The funny thing is a dude I know mentioned that there is a wage gap between Male and Female models. We all obviously know who makes more. I wonder why this was never discussed and perhaps either he or his rep can bring this convenient fact up. After all - We are all EQUAL, right?
We all know this is bullshit but let me show you where this guy fucked up:
- You are on reality television and subject to extra scrutiny. Why are you even taking this Woman on a "date" to begin with? I thought early 20's Milenialls don't "date" anymore they just hang out.
'It was a really expensive meal, like £350, and I knew I wasn’t going to see her again, so what’s wrong with asking her to split the bill?' he said.
- The fuck were you thinking racking up a 350 pound / 500 dollar bill on a first date if you can't afford it?
Sam also insisted that the show was 'edited' to make him look 'bad', and said producers tried to paint him as a 'typical model.'
- Either way he's selling Male Models and himself out for cash to boost show ratings. Clearly the plan succeeded as I'm sure more hoes will watch the show than ever.
[ Side note: UK brethren your White Knights are OUT OF CONTROL...]
Now my question is if pretty boys can do no wrong...If you notice I am sure you will find most of the complainers are NOT attractive Women and the Woman herself has not even made a comment regarding the situation. Rather, she is basking in all the attention glory that the situation has brought her. But I thought pretty boys can never be wrong? Looks like even as a Male model looks only get you so far.
I have a feeling that many of the complainers if not White Knights are ugly Women far beneath this dude who can never hope to breath on him let alone "date" him. 5's and mediocre 6's jealous of the Woman so they have to disparage the Man to make themselves feel better.
These hecklers are the same douches who will parade down the streets for equal pay for Women in Tech despite them not caring for the profession, and that a Man and a Woman have the same physical strength, capability of logical thought and emotional stability.
Bitch please. His date - Whoever she is probably makes 10x more than him. She should pick up the whole tab. Remember - They are INDEPENDENT and "Don't need no Man"!

If you want to take IDGAF seriously you have to apply that to money. I have had some girls insist on going Dutch and I tell them "you can pay next time". Their response to that is always telling.
We aren't talking about buying a house or a car, it is a fucking meal, albeit a rather pricey one. Suck it up. Laying out a couple hundred bucks here or there is not being beta, it is being classy. Don't worry, be happy.
Compared to my last couple of GFs, my income is 3 or 4 times what theirs is, so I pay for everything. I had a few dates with some high-income earners but I paid for the first date as a matter of policy.

I don't know anything about modeling. Does this mean women make more than men? I know there are more women than men models, and a lot of men would not want to model but I think more women would if they had the looks, so it's not fair to compare the top female to the top male. Nobody's heard of the top male. But what about an average female model vs. an average male model, does the average female make much more money?

lilacblaze 9y ago
Agree that their paper news coverage is pretty fair and unbiased. Unfortunately their online presence has gone the clickbait route and publishes excessively left-wing outrage "opinion" pieces. I had to stop reading it once Valenti's column became the top article on the website evey time I logged on.
Sawagurumi 9y ago
Stopped reading it some time ago, when for years it was my standard paper. Far too left-wing, PC, feminist-loving now to be worth reading. The online comment site Comment is Free is nicknamed 'Komment Macht Frei', for the heavy-handed mods removing and banning anyone who disagrees with their left-wing feminist policies. They did break Snowden, but then that was an anti-government thing (in particular an anti US government story), so they were fine with that. When the whistle-blower for the MP expenses scandal was trying to get it published, the Daily Telegraph was the only one that agreed with his terms to publish for all parties equally. The rest wanted to only publish expense scandals for parties they didn't like (for the Guardian, that would be the Conservatives).
Fred_Flintstone 9y ago
You hit the nail on the head.
Telegraph has had some of its own problems recently, which Breitbart London have covered.

Sawagurumi 9y ago
Thanks for the link, I'll read further. Yes, DT has definitely gone downhill since the Conrad Black days, and the men's and women's sections (actually, both effectively women's sections) have been plagued by feminists writers. But the commenters are having none of it, and call bullshit after every such article. I think the editors are finally beginning to take notice, because they now have 2 or 3 journalists that openly depart from the feminist line. The only reason I go there is that the comments are very lightly moderated, so you get people's actual responses, rather than the highly filtered responses you see on the Grauniad or Independent sites. I agree about the Times, though.
nzgs 9y ago
Daily Mail: Conservative Daily Mail Online: Conservative sensationalist gutter press Guardian: Far-left nutjobs Independent and The Economist: Left of centre, mediocre. The Times: Fairly unbiased, best of the mainstream. The Telegraph Online: Formerly conservative, now quite left-wing. BBC News: Far-left, affiliated with the Guardian. Breitbart London: Libertarian/Right-wing and best of the lot.
Most other media outlets are left-wing of some sort, either cultural-marxist or statist-conservative.
Fred_Flintstone 9y ago
This is mostly truth, I feel you are being downvoted out of sheer cognitive dissonance.
Changes I would add:
BBC is only left and not far left. They have very clear pro-globalisation and mass-immigration-or-else-you-are-racist views. Global Warming was 'solved' for them a decade ago, and anyone who questios the IPCCs falsification of data (and the lack of temperature change, and that all major top 50 scientific models were wrong) is a conspiracy theorist. Muslim is a religion of peace. Je suis Charlie!, but islamophobia also should be illegal.
Economist is socially left and economically right (free markets, Hayek, but not libertarian). They are pro-globalist, which is increasingly becoming a left wing social stance.
IDK wtf happened to Telegraph blogs. They went radically left for clicks and it just didnt work. More on this here: http://www.breitbart.com/london/2014/12/01/so-farewell-then-telegraph-blogs/

The Economist gets a lot a credit for not being allergic to numbers and having lots of cool charts and infograhics.

The entire function of The Economist is to broadcast received opinion to the professional class.

By asking to split the bill he lowered his status to sub-beta, thus eliciting women's natural, knee-jerk disgust of betas.
It's all about status, of which looks are a subset.
To women, there's nothing worse than a false alpha.
TekkomanKingz 9y ago
Or it could indicate he just didn't give a fuck about her. If this were some random dude no one would care - But the problem is he is in the national spotlight.
What you have to do is be polarizing from the outset - So then when things like this happen it's not really a big surprise to anybody.
RedBigMan 9y ago
Lets be fair... splitting the bill or going dutch is pretty much standard operating procedure these days. That said assuming both purchased meals of roughly equal value and it wasn't the woman just piling on the $100 plate of kobe beef and $200 bottle of wine while he had a $30 plate of chicken and $5 beer.
TekkomanKingz 9y ago
In what Universe? Ask any guy on here and his experience is that these entitled whores still expect them to foot 100% of the bill on the first date no matter the cost. Hence why you have a movement going on of coffee shop for the first meeting.
exit_sandman 9y ago
100% this.
Here's what I wrote in a comment on /r/askmen on this:
If you always go dutch, you probably can't relate, but it's more common than you think.
The thing is that on the one hand, offering to pay is still somewhat expected by not too few women (and if you don't, you risk being perceived as stingy). On the other, most women readily accept if you offer to pay - in fact, I can count the number of women who refused an offer to pay her bill (or accepted but insisted on paying the next round) on the fingers of one hand, and that's generous.
This doesn't necessarily mean that all of them are freeloaders (for example I had a FWB once who accepted me paying for her on the first date, yet she always insisted on paying for her train rides to me - we generally hang out at my place because it was more comfy - and also paid for herself during our outings) just that it is some "dating code" that's still rather prevalent.
(that's also the reason why I prefer to go out for drinks only on the first date; and should we go out to eat something, I don't offer to pay. Sorry, I am not in the mood to pay 50 bucks for an evening with a woman who I don't know for sure is into me)

My most recent battery of dating experiences have been in 2006 and again in 2011. I'd say that 1 out of, perhaps, 20 of those women had any issue going dutch. Prior to that I was young and stupid and always paid.
ioncloud9 9y ago
I had a girl message me months later on a dating site pissed off still that I split the bill with her on a first date. I wasnt planning on seeing her again and it was one of those "meh" throwaway dates. She was offended that I didnt cover the whole bill. I think her half of the bill was like $13.
cover20 9y ago
See she still wanted to see you again because you didn't throw money at her when she expected it. Well done. You can have a good chuckle at her msgs, she is still thinking of you.
TekkomanKingz 9y ago
LOL, in all honesty you picked a real winner there. We know the girl is a real masterpiece but at some point you have to reflect as the art gallery owner - Are you doing your due diligence in screening out the fake Mona Lisas?
Regardless, if girls start having a problem because you didn't cover the cost of a $6 latte I can imagine gender relations in this country heading south very quickly.
seiken287 9y ago
Truth. Hanging with friends (late 20s), friend's sister (early 20s) stated she expects guys to always pay for dates, especially the first 3. They asked me if i'd be ok if the girl offers to pay or we split. I said yes. Hamster wheels start turning. Told them I'd get drink tab after if she pays for dinner or w/e. "what if they don't want to see you again?" Then I get a free meal + chance to meet another chick. The girls didnt like my answers too much to say the least.
I used the gender equality card at first. they all scoffed at me.

Its getting better. I've had several meet ups for coffee where the girls pay, and I've paid for dinner to have the girl pay for the movie (as I was pulling out the wallet). I've not gotten laid, so I gather the girls are paying to avoid being pressured into sex.
Fearltself 9y ago
The reason you didn't get laid is because they didn't want to have sex with you. Nothing to do with pressure.
TheThingsIThink 9y ago
You are absolutely right. Some do, some don't. Some want a BF/husband and are holding out; others, like tonight suck face in the parking lot of Fridays (It was change over night with my son so I wasn't able to close)
M1s4n7hr0p3 9y ago
I've also had girls pay and lay. It's rare, but it does happen. The more noise the feminazis make, the more desperate some girls are to make it clear they aren't like them. I usually offer to cook. It mitigates the whole issue, gets her up to my place so the hard part is already done, showcases a skill, I can throw on a movie and we can have drinks without worrying about driving, and she's away from the prying eyes of the world so ASD are down a bit. You can also have them help prep the meal if they seem receptive as a bonding activity. Either way, you can cook a good meal for $15-$25 and work some real magic or pay $85 to look like every other try-hard while she plays with her phone all night. Tough choice.
whynotzoidburger 9y ago

M1s4n7hr0p3 9y ago
Well, the nice thing about these new wave chicks is none of them can cook for shit. As long as it's not burnt or undercooked and you use a good seasoning, they'll eat that shit up. Lemon pepper grilled chicken, pre-mixed kale salad with some nuts and a fruity dressing and some broccoli/corn/squash/carrots/rice and beans etc. 25-30 minutes prep time tops. A trained monkey could make it and its hard to fuck up and never ceases to impress. If she's doesn't eat meat I eat her fucking chicken. I only know how to make 5 or 6 meals, but she's not getting this treatment on the regular, most cases one time only.
vladtheinpaler 9y ago
You mentioned lemon pepper grilled chicken. Not sure how you bought it, but pre-marinated chickens and meats are fucking delicious. I can't oversell their value: easy to cook (hard to burn or dry up), juicy, tasty, and usually only a bit more expensive than regular meat or chicken.
There's a Ready To Cook brand which I highly recommend and though I couldn't find a picture of the ones I get, they're more or less like the chicken on the left.
M1s4n7hr0p3 9y ago
I buy Kirkland frozen in bulk. I soak them in a bowl of room temperature water with some salt and lemon juice for a few hours to thaw. I pound em flat, rub some lemon pepper seasoning on em and throw em on the grill between 350-375 for 5 minutes a side (no thermometer, but no salmonella yet) then another minute per side before taking em off. Perfect every time. Plenty juice, little smoky, lotta lemon peppery, all flavor. Took me about six weeks of eating burnt rubber or dissecting partially uncooked meat for the good parts to get it right. Half the magic is the girl watching you cook. It really can't be understated.
Echelon64 9y ago
Uh this one? I've been dating quite a bit since my LTR ended this past January and all my dates pay for half of everything. Maybe stop being such a fucking pussy and ask? Even got laid a few times. I think women are starting to offer to pay so they don't feel obligated to have sex or as a way to discontinue the relationship if you don't click.
_1440p_ 9y ago
Yeah I've never had a problem splitting the bill. And this article in the OP is extremely sensationalised, I don't doubt the tweets are real but it'd have been a few handpicked ones which the Daily Mail (awful source) have blown out of proportion. It is absolutely the norm, in the UK at least, to split the bill.
Fearltself 9y ago
I've always paid for 100% of the bill on every date I've been on. Not for retarded chauvinistic reasons though, I pay for pragmatic reasons. Girls spend more on pre-date expenditures, haircuts, hair products, makeup, clothing, time getting ready etc. If we were to split the bill it wouldn't be financially fair. So for the sake of equity I will continue to pay the whole bill on the first few dates. I know this is not going to be a popular viewpoint here, so flame away.
TekkomanKingz 9y ago
This would be true, if this were 1950.
I am sure many on here can tell you the average Woman spends no time even trying to make herself look remotely attractive unless she's at least 2-3 SMV points below you.
Fearltself 9y ago
That's absolutely delusional. The average women in her 20's takes a lot of time to look attractive. Go to any college bar, you will see that the majority of girls put a lot of effort into their appearance. My gf and her roommates need at least an hour to get ready before we go out....and that's been my experience with most girls.
TekkomanKingz 9y ago
Yes, they put on pounds of worthless mascara and other concealing items all to look like pompadour retarded poodles.
Meanwhile they are eating french fries and pizza and crying that they are having acne breakouts and whatever else on their face...
This is the reason they need to spend one hour hiding their REAL skin which shows the TRUE status of their health before they go out.
abcd_z 9y ago
Flip the script. If you must go to a restaurant with a woman before sleeping with her*, go someplace really cheap (like, fast food cheap) and let her know up front that she'll be paying the entire bill.
It's an excellent way to screen out women looking for beta bucks.
*Although I recommend not taking her out at all until you've already slept with her.
EDIT: Could somebody please explain why this comment is being downvoted?
Falc0n7 9y ago
So you want to tell a woman that she is going to pay the entire bill?
I mean, I know what sub we're on, but you have got to be fking insane.
abcd_z 9y ago
P.S. and let's be honest here: not doing or saying something because you're afraid the woman will throw a fit is a practically the definition of beta.
abcd_z 9y ago
Well, yeah. I've done this before and it's worked pretty well for me. I went to McDonalds with one of my plates when we first started going out (read: sleeping together) and had her cover the bill, no problem. Much later, that same plate asked me out to a local Thai Restaurant, knowing that she would be footing the bill.

Seeing the amount of hate this generated from the community is hilarious. I personally completely agree with his sayings. I don't see nothing wrong with splitting the bill on a date, especially if you get the feeling you won't see the girl again, or that it's just not going further than that. I would have done the same.
But somehow it seems that just because they have a vagina, girls feel entitled not to pay for their meals, ESPECIALLY on a first date. This is wrong. I would value 10x more a women who would feel comfortable paying for her part instead of this "the man SHOULD pay for me" attitude.
And what about the cost? If the girl cannot potentially afford to pay for her half, she should've never stepped inside the restaurant in the first place. Hell, worst case scenario you can just get up, go to the counter and pay for whatever you ate/drank, then leave; the rest is the bitch's problem to deal with. Yup.
Donald_Fuck 9y ago
I suggest to any man who finds himself in a similar situation to call her out on her entitlement. "So are you here for a free meal or are you here to spend time with me?" Watch her squirm and hamster. This is a mutual agreement and when you think about it, it's pretty insulting for her to even suggest that your time is of less value simply because she has a vagina.

Interesting topic. I'm American so please excuse my ignorance. When I was in Turkey serving with the Army, I met some Aussie girls. We travelled around Istanbul and I showed them some of the more popular tourist sites that I was familiar with. I bought them dinner, and they were really concerned when I paid the bill. From what they told me, in Australia, when a guy buys dinner, there's an expectation of sexual reciprocity. Is that true? This was in 1988 so times have probably changed significantly...
oldredder 9y ago
Canada here: in 1988 it was expected here too. Women have become much more predatory since then.
Now women feel privileged to hint at sex, even promise it to get what they want, everything they want, then give no sex.

Only if you're not clear about what you want. She can always walk away if she's not down with it. That said, if you've gotten to the point of taking her to dinner the expectations should be clear anyway.

Death threats? Why? What's the philosophical stand point here?

SJWism in a nut shell.

Entitlement, plain and simple. But SHE doesn't "owe" HIM anything.

Who picked this restaurant and asked for the date?

that is more LTR questions

I don't understand, I think you have it backward. If it's an LTR, then each is responsible for the other's choices to some extent; they are a unit. For a first date, they are not.
3dogs3cats1goodlife 9y ago
Uh no..... that goes to the question of who's financially responsible for this date. If you ask me out and tell me we're going somewhere with $100+ plate dinners, you'd best be planning in paying because I'm not spending my hard earned money on what will become over-priced shit.

Meh. It depends how you're invited. If the guy says "I'd like to take you out Friday"... I'd day that is claiming financial responsibility. But "we should go to dinner Friday night" is him inviting her to go, but not offering to pay.
Thinking any invite is an offering to pay is entitled as shit.
3dogs3cats1goodlife 9y ago
Gee, then most of the first dates I've been on the men were entitled as shit since I paid because I asked.

This has to be a cultural thing.. Then you say; sorry dude cant afford it. Hard? No. If he then offers to pay, atleast you are not an entilted dipshit.
3dogs3cats1goodlife 9y ago
It may very well be cultural. I've paid for plenty of first dates because I was the one doing the asking. And I would be really really hesitant about such a ridiculously expensive first date anyway. I could definitely see that as a sign that we are really uncompatible and decline the date completely.

Imagine you asked a mate to check out x restaurant, would it then be expected that you as the asker and planner would foot the bill? :) First dates should be å homecooked meal anyway, easier to escalate and be intimate. You cook, she brings wine.
3dogs3cats1goodlife 9y ago
Yeah actually I do, and I have in the past. Squabbling over the check is a pet peeve of mine. I've paid for dinner for almost twenty people before because I can't do the squabbling over who owes what and badgering the poor waitress to split the check ten thousand ways.
Between friends it usually works out. One pays now, the other pays next time. We are adults and can discuss how much something will cost as part of the overall discussion on where to go.

Yeah so basicly cultural differences then. Here in norway, we usually pay at the cashier, hence easy to split the bill. And fair point about it working out in the end with mates.
