Reading through some of the comments on the Threads, I have noticed that some men, feel that they should not pay for their lady dates, as she is taking them for a ride, by doing so ?
Most of the men in my life did not have a lot of money, which made me pay for most of them, my whole life.
I did not mind, as I felt sorry for them, not being able to pay for their food, clothes, fun !
According to u:-
Is it right for a guy to pay for a girl (or) a girl to pay for a guy ?
- Pride comes into this equation somewhere, or does it ?
I would ask the OP what personal satisfaction she has in posting incessant crap, a very similar thread was posted regarding asking to be taken to dinner with a family member and I would say that many here using the forum were aghast at what it was about.
South Africans are as tight as a Ducks because of their closeness to Dutch people and my personal thought is that the answer had already been given before the post went up. Having the same thread with two different names would appear stupid to say the least.

mykingdomforanam: If you showed up with your son both ordered seafood platters, and then you said, you both forgot your wallets like you did to the old guy, I'd order us drinks, ice cream, and cakes all around, then I'd quietly pay for mine, and slip out the back Jack.
lol. I always have my bag with wallet with me. This guy is trying very hard to get into my good books. The restaurant was decided on a week before already and he was just waiting for me to confirm, when I had time to go. BTW I have 2 sons.

galrads: I’ll take it from the perspective that dating serves the old fashion purpose of two people getting to know more about each other to decide if they want a relationship or if they want the relationship to develop into something more blah blah blah
So, if dinner on a first date or whenever is the main event, whoever does the invite should pick up the check.
Whoever invites someone to see a concert etc together, should pay any cover for the event. If afterwards it’s decided to dine, both pay their own bill unless it’s a special occasion like someone’s birthday or graduation etc.
Regardless, most women I know today refuse to have me pay their dinner check.

chris27292729: You missed the word "gentleman".
If is stuck in your mind,that all men,on a first day, pay for an outing with a lady, and then bedding her, comes straight after. If signs and indications come from the side of the lady, then WHY NOT finish up in bed???? If there are not,those kind of signs, No gentleman will risk his reputation,and become a fool.
Read the whole thread and answer me then, if u then say just the 2 of u r gentlemen, it's rubbish.
Well, he can grab some sandwiches and pop, I'll take care of the ice cream and chocolate... Sharing is caring...right...it's never too early to start...

chris27292729: If you are "dead convinced",gentlemen don't exist,as partners in life, then more likely,you'll never meet or find one. Though is a good thing, You WILL remain with the memories of your EX.
