Definitely - she's been subjected to sexism, misogyny and lewd remarks. I think she qualifies as female.

I dont want any more of the validations, they all turn out to be chicks with dicks in the end.

Went to a restaurant with a group of people and we started ordering. One of the guys looked at the menu and ordered the soup starter for mains. As we got half way around the table someone enquired as to how we were splitting the bill. We agreed to split it equally. This guy then immediately drags the waiter over and changes his order to fillet steak!

Sorry won't do that again at grub club

If Mr N and I go out with whomever we generally split equally, I try and keep the place of choice as affordable as possible. But if I want to have a blow out then I generally pay and keep it to me and Mr N.

As for lending money, a big no-no.

I also think there is a reason why people need to borrow money and lending them it does not change the reason. So its not really a surprise when they dont have the money to pay you back.

I lent a mate £5000 to fund the purchase of computer equipment he was reselling to a university, was all supposed to have been repaid in 60 days. There was even a talk of interest, which I wasnt bothered about tbh. 6 Months later I had to make a big fuss about it to get my money back.

Yeah, generally agree with this. Sure there are exceptional circumstances, but people shouldn't feel comfortable bothering friends for cash. We've had issues once during my partner's divorce, while he was waiting for the ancillary relief proceedings to be paid out of his old house. We'd bought our own place not realising just how long the proceedings would drag on thereafter. Both our parents helped out. I'd have never bothered friends. It takes a certain kind of person to even ask about borrowing money from friends.

You don't get anything for a pair, not in this game!
