Snatch Talk Tuesday with Tracy Lynne
June 10th, 2008

Happy Snatch Talk Tuesday! Oh, how I’ve missed you!
This weekend New York was hit with a major heat wave plaguing many with some major swamp ass….but I survived and I’m back stronger then ever and 15 pounds lighter.
This week’s topic is a sensitive one so let’s all take a deep breath before we dive in. Exhale. Let’s go!
Getting laid during the recession:
As we all know the U.S. economy is poo poo cah cah. Prices are going up, up, up! Even a slice of pizza in New York has gone up to four bucks!
I can only imagine that dating isn’t as easy as it used to be. A friend was telling me the other day he doesn’t even casually date anymore because he only drops the money on girls he’s seriously interested in.
Taking a girl to a movie now can run you fifty bucks…especially if the heifer likes her popcorn big and her candy wide….and now a days getting in to the hottest clubs means commiting to bottle service. So has the recession effected your dating life?
I know it’s 2008 and the traditional roles aren’t as intact as they used to be, but as a woman I’m curious…
Do men resent the financial pressure that’s being put on them..or are you guys starting to ask your women to step up to the plate in this time of financial hardship? Are you bringing back the phrase “Let’s go Dutch?”
And if the woman is helping out financially, do you still expect her to be the one to cook, clean and do the laundry or does that become a shared responsibility as well?
From a woman in a relationship I have to admit I get a little ticked off sometimes. I deal with my own financial responsibilities and do all of the housework alone. I think that if we are going to share all of our money responsibilities then I would also like help scrubbing a mother f*ckin toilet once in a while…
What’s your take on this new day in age? Reply in the comments section and we will continue the conversation.

I’ve been busy almost forgot my sweetheart Tracey!
I can’t take you on a trip to Paris over the weekend, go shopping and enjoy some fancy restaurants (I wish I had that kind of money). But as a young single man my dating life look pretty much the same. Who should pay for the first date? Easy answer..The man! Yes it’s 2008 but when it comes to dating I’m old fashioned. As long as we are dating and getting to know each other I PAY. That’s how I was raised and I think it should stay that way. However I don’t want the woman I date to feel like she hmm…owes me something if you know what I mean. There are a lot women” out there nowadays who get that feeling though. Now when it comes to a serious relationship and if we live together then it’s of course different. I cook and clean and the kitchen belongs to me too.
Tracey do you and your man live together?
Awww David my tuesday didn’t feel complete until I heard from you:)
I do live with my boyfriend and I think I’m the only 24 year old girl on this earth that cooks every night, and maintains a perfectly clean house.
I must say I get overwhelmed often. I am pursuing a very difficult career path, supporting myself, and I rush home every night to make sure dinner is on the table. My only free day is Sunday which I usually spend doing laundry and cleaning the house.
All of my friends tell me I’m crazy, but I guess it’s just the kind of woman I am…although I must admit a little help would definitely be nice.
Sometimes I just feel like if my boyfriend wants me to take on the traditional role he should too?
I just wanted to bring up this subject because I’ve been hearing a lot of bitching from friends lately both hooked up and single about financial stress and I wondered how it feels to men.
Thanks for your input…it’s nice to know there are some men out there who know how to get their hands dirty:)
xo
Love Tracy
This is something everyone’s thinking about so it’s a very good subject. You seem like a woman who knows exactly what you want but also put a lot of pressure on yourself to be this you know “perfect woman” who can handle everything that men in general desire, is that correct?
Tracy, I like you Snatch Talk and you better be here on thursday with another juicy topic.
I definitely try to be the best at everything I do…even being a girlfriend:)
Thanks for loving the Snatch Talk…tomorrow is especially juicy!
