The Cost of a Girlfriend

[evelynds]

a lot of guys like to joke, comment etc. on girls costing a certain amount of maintenance, investment, etc. with small or no returns.

this is true if there is no further benefit to the girl. in that case a relationship will not last.

but, look at it from another perspective as well.

the three basics a girl will normally provide to her boyfriend;

food
care [yes, yes, cleaning!]
sex

without a girlfriend, on a day by day scale, a successful male in his 20s who lives alone will spend approx;

food - bfast $10 lunch $20 dinner $30 etc1/2 $20/day
care - $1500/mo
sex - $200/time [3x/wk?!]

to get the same things done [excluding extra spends on restaurants/'event spends' in general]. on a monthly scale this is an operational cost of $6300 for doing everything by himself and NOT having the 'maintenance/investment/upkeep' of a girlfriend.

so, perhaps not having a girl around saves $2-3k monthly initially. but in reverse, one would spend $6k+ getting the same things done without one.

been actually writing my spending down since last month. the amount of cash i spend on stuff that should normally just come from a member in a household....... is becoming kind of bizarre. thankfully i've refused visiting brothels so far, hah.

imo the best ROI on a chick comes from the stability that you get if she's not a drama queen. Less drama, less chasing girls, less parties = more time to work on campaigns and less hangovers.

You're retarded if you actually spend that much money on food, care and sex. You're definitely doing something wrong if that's what you budget in for those 3 things

Don't forget the fact that you lose 10 years off your life without a longterm relationship. That would certainly effect the bottom line.

so, how else to get them done ? they are primary needs in life. i earn enough. me standing in the kitchen for 2h = i could have earned enough to buy a 6-course restaurant visit by putting in some work instead. it's the first thing a lot of people who work with me realize. it's the moment they feel 'wealth'

but back on two feet on common soil, it is fucking bizarre. i spend the same on 'weekly groceries' as my middle-class sister and her 5-head household in a month. that can never be right. so, i still need to change heh.

You don't really have to pay for sex everytime when you don't have a girlfriend do you?

 

[evelynds]

never frequented a brothel so i have no clue. i was mostly going off by the frequency and payments made by the top% of people who visit web cam outlets. some of those websites go by $2/minute, and a little insight into their affiliate programs shows the money spent by their 'high rollers'. it's insane.

It depends really. I know someone who was able to get some for $40 and some pho. But there was an immense time commitment. I think OP is looking for truly no strings attached/no bullshit sex. Which means, no talking her up/no getting to know her. Just to fuck ya know?

But I get your food argument OP. Cooking really is a drain.

Last time I checked, my hand didn't charge me $200 for a hand job, my hand was more than happy to help out.

I have been with the same women for 8 years, we have a daughter together. She is worth mid eight figures. We are not married and I really don't ever plan on getting married.. She live across the street from me, so it is good for our daughter.

I could gain huge financially if I married her, but I just love living in my own crib and when she starts any fuss... I just go home.. You cant do that if your married.

My life is awesome why would I want to get married and fuck it up?... lol

My point being is there is NOTHING worth my "peace of mind" and "personal space". You cannot put a price tag on that shit!

I have no idea how you pulled that off but if it works then hats off to you. I don't know any woman that would roll with that.

Sorry but how is mommy and daddy living in different houses good for your daughter?

If you think your life is awesome because you have your girlfriend across the street and you run away each time there's a fight to your mancave, and you share a daughter between both houses, that's pretty fucked up.

Obviously you're afraid of commitment... which is fine if you don't have a child, but since you do, it's time to man up.

You lose 10 years of your life WITH a longterm relationship.

HURR DURR.

That's a little close minded. Why would houses matter? They're still in a relationship (if I understood that correctly) and they live across the street from each other so there's not a problem with proximity and access to the parents. Infact she probably gets the same amount of access to her parents as most children do in a house with two parents working. (about 2 hours a day on week days) It's strange but I don't see the harm to the child? Certainly better than most divorced families that may not get along and live further way from each other.
