Is having a girlfriend a financial drain to a male?

It depends on the girl, but in most cases, at least in my country, they do hinder you financially.

They have hindered some boys and they have also boosted some boys towards achieving big financial goals.

I would start this thread with a disclaimer. This is not supposed to be a sexist thread or misogynistic post.

Most people in my country equate being in a relationship with a lady as just taking up financial liability. You would hear talks like, "I don't want a relationship because I don't have money to spend". And other statements from guys that tend to point ladies as financial liabilities.

I am bringing it to the Discussion Bucks house, is dating a lady as a guy a financial liability? We know one has to buy flashy things to keep ladies happy but do you think dating a lady can drag your financial life down?

This is because most men try to attract women/ girls through gifts and presents. In India dating is not prevalent.

I think it is a case to case experience. I have a boyfriend that I declared our relationship quits. It's simply because it's my money I always spent when we dined outside. He did not even decide to have
50 /50 sharing. He kept on telling me that I have a better salary than he and sometimes he told me his salary on delay. I was fed up. I told him to part ways because I didn't like a beggar boyfriend.

It depends on the financial status of the girlfriend. If the girlfriend is financially independent, she may not be a financial drain. However most good looking women are not financially independent, so their boyfriend is expected to spend money on them.

My take on this is that it depends on the mindset of the girl that a guy is dating when it comes to finances. Some girls expect their boyfriends to give them everything.
