Hmmm, I've been following this thread, and I was wondering, Jussmile, if the guy was some sort of celebrity, or thinks he is, or is he just one of those lucky few that have to beat women off with a stick?
yes... and yes.

he's a good catch, great guy, and does like a woman to look nice. He has the luxury of wanting women who look nice, and I don't think that's a problem or asking too much.

arm candy... with a brain. yes, that's what he's looking for.

I think some of you need to make a trip to Sears and pick up some Weatherbeater paint. If it can last up to 15 years on a house, two weeks should be a breeze!

Well, based on some of the other guys that I have dated... maybe you're selling yourself short !

I am now more interested in Jussmile's original question -

Do men have higher expectations of women on a date than women have for men?

Does it make a difference if he is paying, or she pays, or if it's split?

Do women put too much expectation on THEMSELVES before a date?

Thank God he showed his true colors on the first date. Can you imagine creating a life with such a control freak. Nothing you do would be good enough.

I think women have far higher expectations of men than men have of women. Simply reading here, you can see all the things women are complaining about that men either aren't noticing or don't mind:

- Behavior issues like he did or did not offer to walk me to my car, he looked at an attractive woman, etc.

- Incredible leaping to conclusions about trivial things, like "if he was interested, he would have ..." This phrase comes up every day here, usually attached to an unwarranted assumption.

In terms of looking too far ahead with a specific partner, I think so.

In terms of appropriate preparation, most aren't putting in what I would call sufficient effort ... though I could also call that having a lesser interest in maintaining one's appearance, than I favor.
