Of the guys you've been with that have spent/given/offered you money, do you have any estimates of what percentage of their total spending they have given/spent on you (or wanted to give you, or been willing to give?
I am trying to recollect, The most recent two are easier, The one who gave me $1,500 spending money and also gave me a $500 clothing voucher for a high end store randomly, and who wanted to give me money for a house deposit and/or semi retirement sojourn, I would estimate probably has a net worth of about $3/$4 million.
The more recent one who I have been dating for a while probably has a NW of in the tens to hundreds of millions. So the business class tickets and dinners and money spent is peanuts to him really.
Prior to those two the others have had NW I estimate ranging from $1 million to $5 million and it has all mainly been trinkets and sums of the hundreds to $1,500 at different times. It hasnt been normal that I have been offered a house deposit or tens of thousands.

Are there common amounts? What makes the % vary? (how carefree they spend? How much they are into you? if/how much access/control/exclusivity they want with you?)
The common amounts has mainly just been trinkets, holidays and money into the hundreds up to a thousand odd. So it normally hasnt been much. But I have also never consciously tried to extract money, it has just happened.
I would say what most makes the percentage vary has been based on how wealthy they are, how much they are into me and how carefree they are with money. I have never given any indication of any access or control or exclusivity. Although I did decline the house deposit as I was worried that there could be an expectation of that.
