Do you negotiate price?

[Mr. Blue]

I haggle, the only time I didn't was when I was dating...as no woman should know you haggle until you marry them.

Shopping is a great way to meet women and when I was looking for such I found that getting a good deal in a store often got positive attention from young ladies

I learned to negotiate in business but in every day life I learned to work on it when I travelled. There was often the local price and the American price.

Women I dated almost always looked down on such practices, lol. That's where my fiance comes into the picture...I went to a furniture store with her to pick up a chair, the salesman gave me the first offer and I was about to take it as I couldn't look cheap in front of her. When the salesman went away she whispered in my ear, "That's overpriced you should try to negotiate a little." It was like a heavenly light suddenly surrounded me...I haggled $200 off the price.

I just assumed most women preferred a strong male that didn't let people push him around. Of course they seemed to like me getting them discounts

lol, no, there's rules involved...i.e. don't look cheap. There's a fine line between a good haggling and looking cheap. I use a general rule if something is over a certain amount of money...I haggle.

You downstaters are complete pains in the ass. You guys argue over the price of a McDonald's value meal. I'm always amused to watch you folks when you're up hear at the outlets in Lake George. You're all always so shocked when the clerk says, "Fine - don't buy it".
