In a statement, spokespeople for the website said, “New Orleans ranked extremely high among our list of generous cities. With its vibrant nightlife and amazing culinary scene, it’s no surprise that gentlemen from New Orleans are willing to pay the price to show their ladies a good time. While WhatsYourPrice members are naturally inclined towards chivalry, cities like New Orleans, Charlotte, Memphis, Dallas and Houston dominating WhatsYourPrice’s list of generous cities can most likely be attributed to good old Southern Hospitality.”   “The way a man spends his money is a reflection of his sincerity and character,” said Brandon Wade, CEO and founder of WhatsYourPrice.com. “While women don’t necessarily equate money with love, they are more financially independent than ever before, and are more drawn to men who can demonstrate their ability to provide for a partner.”
