This morning, I caught a clip of a recent episode of Good Afternoon America that offered good food for thought. The topic was ‘Dating Down: Would you date a man that makes less than you’? and of course with ‘No Scrubs’ being one of TLC’s biggest hits, they had Chilli on as a guest.
Chilli’s stance was that it’s hard for her to ‘date down’ because she loves to be treated like a princess:
I’m very picky, I guess you want to call it that. Here’s my issue with ‘dating down’ – it sounds bad, it makes us seem shallow — the problem with dating down[…]I think that for a female, no matter how much money you make or not, every woman wants to feel like a princess, you know. I don’t look for a guy to pay my bills, I can pay my own bills. I can do a lot of things for myself. Thank God I’ve been blessed. But I would love to go on a date with a guy and he pays for it or we go on a trip together and — if I have to pay half then I need to go on that trip with my girlfriend, not a dude. I’m just saying.
And I totally understand where she is coming from. We all have had fantasies of being whisked away to an exotic island with the man of our dreams, but I have to say this:
