If a woman uses her financial capabilities to gain your attention, it must be cause she sees you as a man-child and would like to exercise her maternal instincts on you. On a related story, I know some lady friends who asked for them to be treated like equals, one time I tried to pull their leg and said she'd be footing the bill, she was stunned a bit then paid for our lunch, after that; she had always let me be the gentleman. It left a bad taste in my mouth though, I don't thing I'd be doing that anymore.
