there have been a couple of threads recently about weekends away

October 21 2012

in one thread a woman said she paid for the accomodation,and in another thread a woman said she was thinking about accepting an offer of an all expenses paid trip...there were quite a few very disparaging comments on the second thread re it being money for sex....but not on the first thread...my question is ,what is in your opinion acceptable in terms of another paying for you...would you pay for anothers meals,accomodation airfares,none or some..or would you accept another paying for you.? Do you think there is a line that could be crossed and for you ,what line would that be?

    Been there done that 50/50 is all I will consider.I don't want to obligate or feel obligated, if it's unbalanced there are strings real or imagined.Maybe in an established relationship things could be different but first up 50/50 is clean and guilt free for all concerned so the fun can blossom unfettered.

    I always pay for the hotel. 5star always. I have the money to shout the partner, so why wouldn't I? I don't expect sex for it. It's just easier than going to someone I don't know's house. It's a lot safer in a hotel, so if they don't show or turn out to be a freak I just have a me-party and leave it at that.

    That based on the assumption that its the first meet, it should be 50/50. After that I must say I like to be the provider, as I think it's just good manners to provide without expectation; which I think was the point of a few on the other threads. There's no issue in being a provider, on the understanding that its also coupled with no obligation.

    Personally, I would have wished the second poster a bon voyage.

    I must admit though that I do prefer to pay for my own accomodation. Especially for a first meet. Then there is no expectations at all.

    and I do not have any "expectations" because of it...That is just part of my moral compass, plus I am a nice catch...Ricky

    I would never be able to accept somebody else paying for my accommodation, flights or meals, unless I were able to pay them back in some form (ie, they pay for dinner, I'll buy two rounds of drinks and dessert somewhere else). I don't see it as offensive in the way that some 'feminist' women do: 'you don't think I'm capable of paying for myself??', I just feel a touch uncomfortable as I feel there's a form of obligation attached to it, especially if it's in the case of a purely social first meet and you have a niggling feeling that you probably won't be seeing them again.

    If someone is happy to foot the bill then I can't see the problem, the other person shouldn't be frowned upon or insinuated it isi money for sex, it is really no one else's business except for the parties involved, judgements by outsiders really is a mis nomer

    In reverse order Freya:Yes. I think that there are lines which can be crossed - especially in online relationships generally, as well as in RHP meet ups.For me, I'm not sure where that point is - I stopped thinking about it at a private Island in the Bahamas. Or the Caymans.Yes-I'm more than happy to be paid for - I mean, what sort of pro-feminist - pro-woman type of guy would I be, to tell a woman that she couldn't pay for me. Just seems kinda wrong to me...Yes to None, Some and All - different answer to different scenarios. I'm always happy to negotiate :)In the right context and circumstances - i don't think there are many things I would have a problem with a woman paying for me, as long as she's happy to do it - and can. Go for it I say.Does that make me easy???2b

    When I offer to pay for someone...we took a couple to a strip club on Saturday night and I paid hundreds of dollars to watch them play... I expect nothing in return and do so because I want to.But I refuse to accept things from other people as a lot of people do expect things in return. I'm not sure why, but I just can't get passed that view.What other people do doesn't bother me though

    Quoting 'MrsPeachyPear'The Mr and I were offered plane tickets to a meet n greet a few years ago. I would have loved to have accepted them but most people I mentioned it to then and in conversations since were against the idea. Travelling as a couple and providing our own meals and boarding, I've been surprised at the negative opinions over time. There was no sexual agenda...I couldn't see me / us offering to fund anyone's travel etc. we've had this a few times.. invites to interstate meet and greets........... last time was to Tassie, a friend we chat with wanted to pay our way down....... all sounded wonderful, and we even had our pick of where we'd prefer to stay...opted out as it didnt fit with our schedule.... had a few things happening in the weeks leading up to the suggested dates, and a heavy commitment load in the weeks following...maybe next time it'll work oiut..... oh well...

    I think it's a necessary "evil" in the games we play on rhp. Although personally I think 50/50 is the better way to do it. Just because of obligation etc. I might have to open my search to interstaters now.

    if a man offered to pay for my flights to visit him and my accommodation whilst I was out of my home state, I would let him. Who am I to turn down a man's generosity? I would pay for my food/drinks etc and certainly TRY to pay for more; but I know better than to squish a man's ego by emasculating him. If he want's to pay for me then go right ahead my friend!

    Money, money, money some people have got it, some haven’t; sometimes everybody’s got it, sometimes nobody has it. Sometimes it comes and then goes. None of this matters. People should only offer if they can afford it (unconditionally) and nobody should feel bad about accepting something offered. Mr RD here

    for some great thought provoking posts everyone.I have always felt a little conflicted about this issue but I think it really is about the individuals involved and the situation.I have had someone pay for my accomodation ,travel expenses and meals ,it was an amazing few days and I certainly didn't feel like a hooker...and then I have had the opposite situation happen where a man did make me feel like a hooker,not because he paid for anything,just because of his attitude.xR
