Men should always pay…

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Jessica alba believes men should always pay for women on dates.

The “Valentine’s Day” star says, : “Absolutely pick up the cheque. Hopefully your date offers, but that’s just a gesture. You should pick it up.” Alba also gives men some tips about ordering desserts. “You should talk about it. If she seems like the kind of girl that would appreciate you doing that you can try it but you have to rate her.

And you should also order two desserts. You should order the one that she’s going to order and the one that she really wants.

She explained,”I probably would want chocolate cake. But a lot of girls, especially in the beginning, will try to order something healthy even though they want something more decadent.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
miss_mishi 14th-Mar-2010 11:26 pm (UTC)
better yet, sex WHILST cooking for them. Who can't stir a chocolate sauce while giving head in the kitchen? And then they can clean up both, afterwards!

According to "Are you Popular?" a social guidance video from the 40s/50s, you should bring your date home and give him cookies or brownies to repay him for the date. Also, don't be a slut.

I LOVE THOSE VIDEOS. My parents and I watched those and laughed so hard. They were like they really taught us that crap! And the one about hiding from a nuclear bomb is equally as funny.
mistyraven 15th-Mar-2010 12:56 am (UTC)
Hahaha, that video was amazing.

Man, I'd kill for some cookies or brownies right now. :/

rinkura 14th-Mar-2010 10:52 pm (UTC)
I only eat the fruit if its an all you can eat but yeah seriously. Why order what I have in the kitchen already. I want my hot chocolate brownie cake with the ice cream on top.
me_and_jimmy 14th-Mar-2010 10:59 pm (UTC)
SAME lol
hoot 14th-Mar-2010 11:02 pm (UTC)
My boyfriend said he knew we would be together for a while when I asked if he'd mind if I ordered chocolate lava cake on our first date.
stormer1_1 14th-Mar-2010 11:10 pm (UTC)
I want the fruit ON the damn cheesecake, okay? I want it all.
pignic 14th-Mar-2010 11:15 pm (UTC)
lolz I agree. once I went out and ALL I got was dessert. Headed straight for the good, unhealthy stuff.

"But a lot of girls, especially in the beginning, will try to order something healthy even though they want something more decadent.”

Well then a lot of girls are dumb.
maskedcunt 14th-Mar-2010 10:35 pm (UTC)
seriously. who the fuck orders healthy dessert? that's just wrong.
trinimacphisto 14th-Mar-2010 11:18 pm (UTC)
People who order healthy desserts go straight to hell ijaf
minikinsaff 15th-Mar-2010 12:23 am (UTC)
Whole Foods carries organic stroopwafels. I laugh every time I see that living oxymoron.
nayumitenakka 15th-Mar-2010 01:16 am (UTC)
well what about fresh fruit over frozen yogurt? That's considered healthy right?
jessashoutbaby 14th-Mar-2010 10:37 pm (UTC)
IKR? Fuck that, I'm going for whatever looks good to me! Creme brulee is food from the gods.

brelicious 14th-Mar-2010 10:33 pm (UTC)
haha what? If I wanted a chocolate cake, I'm sure I'd say "I think I'll have chocolate cake" and not make it a silly game.
bleedingfilth 14th-Mar-2010 10:38 pm (UTC)
I agree! What is all this 'she really wants two desserts' bullshit? How would the guy know what the second dessert she wants is, unless he's Professor X and can read minds?
jennikun 14th-Mar-2010 10:47 pm (UTC)
LOL "professor X"

Oh STFU Alba!
ah_es_el 14th-Mar-2010 10:33 pm (UTC)
My rule, whoever asks the person out on the date is the one who pays. If you going as friends, either pay equally or your part plus equal tip.
sleepingawake47 14th-Mar-2010 10:33 pm (UTC)
that's good!
deme_yuca 14th-Mar-2010 10:41 pm (UTC)
This is my rule as well.
magli 14th-Mar-2010 10:50 pm (UTC)
Hey, that's my rule too! It just makes everything a lot easier.
browniecakemix 14th-Mar-2010 10:53 pm (UTC)
This. Don't ask someone out on a date and then expect them to pay, and don't expect friends to pay for you.
me_and_jimmy 14th-Mar-2010 11:02 pm (UTC)
that's always my rule too. When I was in a long term relationship my boyfriend and I would kind of go back and forth with who pays, sometimes it'd be me other times him.
staygoldpnyboy 15th-Mar-2010 02:22 am (UTC)
we do that now, but not in the beginning.
ah_es_el 15th-Mar-2010 05:07 pm (UTC)
yeah relationships are kinda different, because at least you know if he pays one time you can pay the other or vice versa whereas a first date your not sure if your ever going to see this person again.
lustdumpster 14th-Mar-2010 11:15 pm (UTC)
i agree with this, but i mean if the guy offers to pay my part too i won't try to stop him.
komichi 14th-Mar-2010 11:18 pm (UTC)
I always apply this to first dates, then go dutch unless the guy insists or plays it off as a romantic "let me treat you" sort of thing
pasia_puska 14th-Mar-2010 11:26 pm (UTC)
OF COURSE!
chilli_cheese 14th-Mar-2010 11:55 pm (UTC)
I agree, although into a relationship, it doesn't matter who pays.
bees_beads 15th-Mar-2010 12:18 am (UTC)
That's a good rule! But whenever I'm out with friends I always wind up paying most of the tip because clearly no one ever told most of my friends how to do it properly. Even when we don't get much and/or the waiter does a good job, a lot of them actually try to calculate what 15% of the bill is...it's like, seriously, can't you just be a decent human being and give them a good tip?
getsome_getsome 15th-Mar-2010 12:27 am (UTC)
exactly this
chibirhm 15th-Mar-2010 02:04 am (UTC)
APPROVED.
polaroidmoment 15th-Mar-2010 06:40 pm (UTC)
Exactly. If a boy asked me out to dinner, I would offer to pay for sure, but I would likely expect him to pay because he's the one that asked. With my friends, anyone of us can suggest it but I know we're all paying for ourselves.

In a relationship, my bf and I usually take turns. But our bill is always together, even if we're out with friends or something.

that's my view on it, but my boyfriend pays when i'm not looking, and the waiter always gives him the check after he/she sees us arguing over it lol. >:|

rehabbed 14th-Mar-2010 11:41 pm (UTC)
i would agree but many people consider it rude/offensive to do that, AND i don't want to spend 5 minutes arguing over the bill. i'll offer to pay and if he insists, then i say thank you and leave it alone.

I agree with you, but I also think humans are inherently dishonest.

Thank you. For once someone saying what must be said. A+ wish and way to formulate it =)
bleedingfilth 14th-Mar-2010 10:33 pm (UTC)
Eff that Jessica A. I make enough money that I can pay for myself. I don't need to be obligated to some schmuck who forked over like $20 on my behalf.
vivavamp 15th-Mar-2010 01:51 am (UTC)
GO YOU.
I hate it when girls always act "cute", pathetic, and weak, and then get pissed when guys don't act the way they "want", which includes picking up their belongings, paying for dates, holding the door open for them, complimenting them, etc.
pinklala 15th-Mar-2010 04:28 am (UTC)
How is appreciating chivalry "pathetic and weak"?
sideoflust 14th-Mar-2010 10:34 pm (UTC)
i feel bad when the guy pays for everything tbh
x_ce_rce_au_x 15th-Mar-2010 12:04 am (UTC)
same here - it's so unfair to them! I always offer to pay, but no one takes me up on it, and it makes me feel super-guilty, especially if I'm not really into the guy.
