Generally no. In fact not even generally no. It's not a good thing ever if a guy thinks you're expensive. Even a very, very rich man would love to know that he didn't have to blow his wad on a woman but could spoil her at his whim, not because she demands it.
In fact, I'm going to put "expensive" up there on the list of things you never ever want a guy to consider you. Here are the others:
1) Needy
Nobody likes a needy woman. And needy comes in many forms. It can be emotional (the worst kind). It can be financially or spiritually. Speaking of emotional neediness, I think to some degree it's expected from women. You have to placate women's innate need for affirmation, etc. (Yes I'm speaking in generalities) but to the point where it is forced upon you it becomes unbearable and you just have to get rid of her.
2) Spoiled
Spoiled kind of follows the expensive thing. But spoiled women don't appreciate anything. They expect you to do things that normal people wouldn't do. Spoiled is the precursor to douchiness.
3) Diva
Divas have huge attitudes and are very difficult to get along with. Nobody likes them either but if they are attractive, men will tolerate them for as long as possible. Except this man, I don't do divas.
So no, being expensive is not a good thing.
It was written.
I've found that a guy calling you "cheap" as in a tightwad isn't really good either. I've actually made a few guys mad when I told them NOT to spend money on me; I'm really not a big fan of receiving gifts, not unless they're inexpensive and heartfelt. Use the money on the bills!
I'm super confused about where the line is drawn for neediness. I don't think it's needy to want affirmation. It's needy to call your guy/gal every hour wanting to talk, but I don't think it's asking a lot to want your partner to say "I love you" or otherwise affirm that they care about you a lot (assuming you're in a serious relationship).
So true...
