That is your opinion. To answer your question...no, I do not think it is degrading to expect a man to pay for dinner if he is asking to take a lady out to dinner. And just to clarify, I think it goes both ways. If I were to ask a man out for dinner, then I think I should be the one to pay.


Good day to you. wine

I like to cook a nice dinner sometimes. ,,,,,,but I always ask for payment afterwards.....rolling on the floor laughing ,,,,unless the dinner is not good ,,,then I just have to run and barf ,,,,,,,,,,it is not ussually the case though. I would expect to pay if I was asking someone out on a date, though I have many times in the past split the cost or took turns, however ,,, on a first "date" I would have it all taken care of, to me it would be a no-brainer.

That's a good attitude. It hasn't happened to me but unfortunately I know girls who just go out on a date with a guy they don't even like just to get free food (told me that to my face). And that's not a joke.

I agree with you. I don't mind paying. I don't like going for free unless the other party explicitly made it clear they are paying for a reason beforehand.

I was just making fun of the double standards in general. There are hypocrits among men and women alike when it comes to gender equality or any other topic.

exactly. equality has to start with being equal. gender doesnt come into it for me.

No worries. There is not a person that I do not 'get along' with. We all may have different opinions, but that does not mean that we can't get along. It's simple, really...I can agree to disagree, yet still get along just fine with anyone.

Are you kidding? doh

He's asking you for a date. Dinner, bowling, whatever....

Assume he will pay.

At the end of the activity, if he asks you to pay your share, you smile, pay your share and don't ever accept a date with nim again. grin

asking some one out on a date does not mean " i want to pay for you all night". personally if i asked someone out for a drink i would offer to pay but i dont believe its a rule. would some one like to go to dinner or ill bring you to dinner.... get what i mean?
i normally have crawled out the bathroom window before bill comes anyhow.lol

Interesting debate. Myself, I think my genetic code is written so that I am compelled to pay...then again, I'm old grin
