Women aren't so expensive... you just have to find the right ones ;) I've only ever had 1 g/f that cost me a packet, all others have been easy to please. The saying, 'the best things in life are free' really does ring true. If you have to spend to entertain/accommodate/keep a female interested, they aren't the right one, because they certainly aren't hanging around for the person you really are if that's the case...
