    Not a bad idea. Something like this might have to be done soon.

    Yep, that was droxford's idea. May have to work this one in at some point.

    yup...buying rounds is reserved for times where you feel like being generous (in which case you can't complain) or when it's with a group of REAL friends that you know will pay you back in some form or fashion.

    I have to take droxford's advice and talk to the ONE person responsible of inviting her.

    I don't know how she was raised, but she seems to have a mentality of MEN should pay for everything.

    These dudes sound like a bunch Larry Robinsons jumping on stage with David Stern when the Rockets won the title.

    Not a bad analogy. The picture's kinda hazy, but you can clearly see Larry Robinson pining for the spotlight, front and center, here:

    Men SHOULD pay for everything... and what's wrong with that? Well, what's wrong is that if you don't like her, then don't invite her. Else, she needs to... MAN, we need PICS. :eek:
    It's all right, Chris... it's not your fault... :grin:

    It's one person that's inviting her. Everyone else in the group is not liking it, but she keeps showing up. And negative on the pic comment unless you like chicks that weigh well over 2 bills. lol

    Yeah, drox has the right idea. One of my best friends likes to pay the tab with his credit card when we go out once a week on trivia night (don't ask!), so what I do is just hand him the cash (maybe he's saving on ATM fees??) with enough to cover my share of the tip and let him use his card, and he puts the tip for the waitress on it (by god, that's why he does it, to hustle the waitress.. now that I think about it, he has pretty good luck!). The other guys do the same. We don't do that every single time, but usually. It's a much smaller crew, which might make a difference, but we've never had a problem.

    If everyone else doesnt like it i would just call her out on it next time. Not like you are losing a friend if you piss her off

    Someone should tell that someone "Why you keep inviting that BUM, man?!?!? She better at least be 'good' to you"... and put an end to it. About the "2 bills" weight: try me, sir. :eek: I hated the day Sarah Rue went on the Hollywood coke diet. :(

    Pics, please. I said PLEASE.

    haha i was thinking the same thing


    just either pay your own via cash or create a separate tab

    I'll only pay for a round of drinks or pick up someone's tab if they are a really good group of friends. At least then I know the bit of money isnt that big of a deal and that they would get me back sometime in the future.


    if girls are being invited that arent your gf/fiance/wife or even potential gf material then their tab should be paid for themselves or by the person who invited them.


    now if they havent had a job in months then they should not be trying to live the same type of lifestyle they had before when they had a life thats just foolish behavior and you probably do not want to be friends with someoene like that. i cant really imagine a guy mooching for that long off of other people



    most of the time when I go out with a group of people that isnt a close group of friends I usually bring cash just so I can pay for my share and let the rest of them worry about the remaining tab

    Who the hell runs with a crew of 25?! Grow a pair and gain some individuality - get out of this collective communist mentality. Weed out the unattractive chicks from the start, they'll only be trouble as they lack self awareness due to self preservatory instincts picked up as teenagers.

    Life is so much easier when you're direct and confrontational. You should let them know in private that it's annoying you, and they'll respect you for not sending indirect messages through pansy moves (like throwing in whatever you owe and saying "I'm out brahs".). Heck, you might even get some attractive women to look your way.

    It's time to take charge Baqui. We can't be kids forever.

    I pay for my woman.

    If you're not my woman, I'm not paying for anything of some other chick, unless it's their birthday.

    THIS!
    force them to 'ask' each and everytime
    If they have ANY pride they will begin to get the picture
    then
    you can say NO too.

    I was thinking the same thing. Who needs to go out with this many people? It sounds like some kind of insecurity thing. I can't imagine what a pain you guys are when you you go out to eat or to a bar...etc. But what do I know, you're probably some cool folks. Still, a lot big groups seem to have that mob mentality and end of being a bunch of jackasses when they go places.

    LOL, 'my crew'...uh, sure, Tony...

    Interestingly, only one of them is Indian. The rest are white.
