Great to hear

You're right, NSG, there is hope after all.

I love Greek Cypriot women, they just do it for me. BUT my biggest gripe with them is that they can't decide whether they want to be modern or old fashioned and hence attempt to take all the advantages of both with the disadvantages of neither.

They expect the man to open doors and pay bills, supply the CLK, pay for the hair nails and shoe habit, refurbish the house, bring the money home etc but will they cook meals, clean the house, drop the kids to school and generally run the household.?

I went on a blind date a while back with a BBC and when I met the girl she was incredibly modern and interesting etc and we went for dinner and it was all going great and then towards the end she stopped and said "I hope you know the man to pay for this meal". I was planning on paying anyway but that put me right off her.



My point is I can be modern or old fashioned but i will not accept getting the bad aspects of both and the good aspects of neither.

GG, I also don't agree with a woman taking it for granted that the man will pay for stuff, there should be reciprocity, I think.

It works both ways, sometimes the man expects the woman to pay for everything, I know cases where men lived off their wives or girlfriends. Nothing wrong with a helping hand, obviously, but a balance needs to be struck.

Girl power and all that. Its the 21st century now. Women should pay equal to men. Gone are the days where women don't have careers. I have friends who there wives earn more than them. Me and my beloved pay half and half, although the bigger expensive items (house stuff) i end up forking out.

From my experiences Cypriot women are great lovers, it's almost as though they try harder, (just to get back at their husbands) and they seem to want to try any and everything in bed.

Marry one? Not a chance!

What like the 42" plasma screen tv and the double recordable DVD? All those 'girlie' essentials us girls want soooo badly!

I agree totally though with paying my fair share. I mean I'm not adverse to someone buying me a meal or a drink just as I'd be equally happy to offer to buy someone a meal or a drink. It's how I work with my friends too. Sometimes I might just say that it's all on me. Other times they'll do the same. Other times we split it down the middle.

I dont think I have ever let a woman pay in my life. I think I am old fashioned, its a shame my ideal woman would have died out with the dinosaurs.

describe your perfect woman.
