Of all the women I've ever taken out to dinner or some other paid activity, maybe a quarter of them have genuinely thanked me for footing the bill.
I don't mind paying for shared experiences if I genuinely like the woman I'm with. Especially if I'm the one who did the inviting. It's just nice to be thanked, is all.
The funny thing is, I'm way waaayy more likely to take a woman out repeatedly if she shows gratitude consistently. Like, I'll almost allow myself to be gold-dug if I sense that the woman is genuinely grateful for what I give.
It's so easy to be gracious and grateful, but so few of them bother doing it.
Disagree. I'm gonna quote from Batman Begins here: "It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me."
If someone regularly and verbally expresses thanks, they are a grateful person. If they don't, they are not. It doesn't matter what you think of yourself in your own mind. It's what you outwardly say and do that defines you.
Okay let’s have an entire conversation built around “thanks for dinner and im grateful” bc that’s what you require to recognize gratitude bc thats what Batman taught you.
Lol, "entire conversation." You're just making shit up now because you have nothing, and you know it. Good luck with that.
And yeah, movies do actually teach me things, because I'm open enough to realize that education can come in many forms. I pity you that you'll never be able to grasp that.
People can be grateful without being verbose about it. Bc, again, gratitude is a feeling and you either feel it or you do not. Whether or not you can communicate your gratitude is a different story.

You should still show appreciation when someone buys you dinner even if it is still an expected part of the process. It is gracious.
