A Sure Thing. Polling my readers.

Before I get back to part two of "What Men Want" I wanted to ask my
readers something. Please use the comments below to respond, please
express your gender and if you are straight.

Question RomanticFromTo: Of all of your romantic relationships what
percentages were started with an outting/jesture which cost more than
pocket change being given TO you?

Question RomanticToFrom: Of all of your romantic relationships what
percentage were started without a outting/jesture which cost more
than pocket change being spent BY you?

Question NonRomanticFromTo: Of all of your NON-romantic relationships
what percentages were started with an outting/jesture which cost more
than pocket change being given TO you?

Question NonRomanticToFrom: Of all of your NON-romantic relationships
what percentages were started with an outting/jesture which cost more
than pocket change being given BY you?

When I say "pocket change" i mean the average amount of money YOU
give, on average, per exchange to a non-affiliated homeless person on
the street. If you never give money to homeless people, then the
average is zero.

When I speak of a "relationship" starting I don't mean when you first
met the person, but when the interaction moved from simply knowning to
non-trivial investments of your personal time.

Don't be shy if you are the first to post!

    * RomanticFromTo - virtually all romantic relationships i have been in have started and continued to have start off with some sort of experience which was paid for, dinner/beer/tickets/etc. Its basically just the way it is.

    * RomanticToFrom - ZERO.

    * NonRomanticFromTo - I would say its something like 10% of relationships start of with something like this, normally its because another friend i already know introduces me to someone because that friend can't make whatever engagement we already had planed or like a beer at the pub.

    * NonRomanticToFrom - if you count a free beer or two at the pub then its 20% or so. I tend to be friendly and people want that good energy to stay around.
