2. Never Spend More Than $40 on a Date

I wish I could say that I came up with this one. However someone older and wiser than I beat me to it. Nonetheless there is no reason why this shouldn't be a commandment.



A date is ultimately a competition. Well more like a negotiation. And when negotiating you attempt to get as much as you can while conceding as little as possible.



In this case, us men are trying to get tail while spending as little as possible. Meanwhile the ladies are trying to get as much stuff paid for as they can without giving it up. In this situation the ladies have the advantage, they don't have to put out in order to get you to spend on them. In fact, they will want to hold out longer if they think that you are a big fat cash cow. By only spending $40 on a date (every time) you'll put yourself ahead of the game.



"But Notregis, If the tickets cost $40 and there's a service charge can't I just bend the rules? After all its just a couple of bucks."



Stop right there dumbass.



It's not the $40 per person rule, its the $40 dollar rule. If the tickets cost $40 then you're only buying one ticket.



"But Notregis, how am I supposed to go out and spend only $40? Don't you know that dinner is expensive?"



You sound like the people in my office. Are you sure I don't work with you?



If dinner and drinks will put you over $40, which if you live on the coasts it will, then ask her when she eats dinner and just take her out for drinks. Its been over 5 years since I've bought a date a meal.



Don't worry though, if you can't get out of going out to dinner there's still a way to save: Play on her insecurities. Before your date swing through the drive-thru and get yourself a good meal. Eat this and then go on your date. At the restaurant order only the side salad. Most ladies are too insecure to order more than a man, so when you order that tiny salad, a quality gal will order a smaller, cheaper item as well. And if she doesn't you follow the 6th commandment and DTB.



The point is this if you follow the $40 rule and the 3 strikes rule, you'll never spend more than $120 on a girl to get some tail. And that's sound investment advice.
