Too good for Nandos.

Now, I don't read the paper, let alone The Sun, but today this story was unavoidable. It's literally been all over social media networks, and everyone's gone mad for it. A Man U player who earns £30,000 per week, took a girl on a date, to Nandos. She sold this story to The Sun, complaining that he made he drive and she had to pay £5 for parking, and he turned up in a track suit.

                  This story got me thinking about the dating game, what is deemed as acceptable and what's not, and why it matters. There's so many angles I could come at this from, but the first point I'd like to make, is the fact the this story was in THE SUN NEWSPAPER, in my opinion,  a newspaper that is notorious for printing bullshit, so let's not take this story too literally. The second point I'd like to make, is the fact that females seem to have so much expectation these days. It baffles me, as to why a student from Liverpool seems to think she deserved to be taken out in a flashy car and a fancy restaurant, Just because the man in question earns a considerable amount of money? This girl clearly just wanted to tell her mates he took her to Nobu and they partied with loads of celebs. How can your life really be about that? So materialistic? And who is to blame for that? The media for glamourising that lifestyle? I'm not sure. I'm strong minded enough to know that I don't need to go out with a footballer to a fancy restaurant to have a good time. Plus, Nandos has some fucking great chicken. 

I've had friends complain to me before that a guy they met clearly just wanted to take them home from the club, or just wanted to get into their knickers and how much they wish men would just take them out somewhere first or make an effort to get to know them. So hang on, shouldn't the girl just be grateful he didn't just invite her round his house? Let's face it he's a footballer, and she's a gold digger, looking to sell a story. she would have gone. 

In my opinion girls need to stop having these high expectations. Should your man take you here and there, pay every time you go somewhere, take you on holiday, and buy you louboutins for your birthday? I'm not saying a man shouldn't do those things if he wants to, and he loves someone. But I do believe a woman should never, ever expect it. The girl in the sun shouldn't have even expected to have her meal paid for. 

I know we all wanna live in a fantasy world, where we all have no money worries, lots of nice things and someone who loves you, but let me promise you this, you will never find love if you base it on what the man can/can't buy for you. And men, if she's the right girl for you, you definitely won't be able to buy her love.

Love is definitely not materialistic. 

I'm fed up of hearing about girls who just want to find a rich husband. Where is your ambition? It's beyond crazy. 

Maybe I'm just lucky because I'm happy, and the dating game is harder than I think? But nah, actually I'm still happy with going to Nandos you know.
