Barry-O,
Some of us actually enjoy spending money, it is not always about being cheap and getting your money's worth, but about a different experience. Being generous feels good and opens up a lot of doors, you should try it sometime. I guess you're the type that goes to bars with a few friends and splits the tab at the end of the night. I hang out (and also am such) with guys that fight over paying the bill. Anybody can go into a club and pick someone up for free according to their looks and ability. But it takes a real man to blow 2Gs in a few hours on a few drinks and some cheap thrills
