Mercedes_00: Every individual is different..Sounds like your looking for a free meal ticket Lee.
I would pay for myself but it's other peoples business what they do.
How did you get that idea? This is a discussion and women are not looking very good, by what I have read so far...Paying for yourself should not be a problem...why should company come with a price? Why should a man pay for a woman on a date? What about equality?

From what I see the majority of guys don't think like you.
Does it really matter who pays for who as long as both parties are having a good time?

It does matter, because women are always the one's crying and saying that a man must pay, because he is a gent if he pays BS and if he don't he is tight...If women really think they are a mans equal, then they would not have a problem with paying for the two of them...because traditionally a man has always payed for a woman, but that was meant to be the day's of the so called patriarchy, that apparently oppressed women, so why would women want to keep this very old tradition alive...who gains from it? Women everytime...so it's not equality in the dating world, because women are too greedy to want it that way.

I like traditional man and not into feminism. However I wouldn't ever make any issue to pay for myself and would be the first to put $ on the table but wouldn't see him again if he called me out and let me pay. Yes I would see him as tight a**hole and I wouldn't explain why I avoid him.

Lookin4missright: Mmmmm any prawns???
I think I would check what kind of food he likes before I made final decidion what to cook as there's no point preparing something that person might be allergic on particular food. Thinking ahead helps..

Lookin4missright: True that
ps, did you mean decision or insision just asking
Yes, decision. My mobile changed the word. What insision ? The word start with letter "D " so how do you twist in insision. Just I suspect you would have a fun on my account with my accent and everything I say ....No calamari and prowns for you.

I said "insition" coz you're a strong woman ...and i don't want you to cut me up
logic dictates that if it is a first date & the man has asked me out, then he would be expected to pay & also choose the venue. Similarly if I had asked a man out then I would expect to pay.
I don't see the argument really on this, it is pure common sense & as for you stating that the woman is likely to choose the most expensive dish in the most expensive restaurants, that is a ridiculous accusation to make. The majority of women would leave it to the man to choose if he is the one arranging the first date. Not all women are gold diggers! If the date led to another then of course I would either offer to pay or go dutch.
If man has asked me out for first date then he would be expected to choose place and pay. I'm always ready to pay for myself (and I do it if I know, that there will not be next date ), but I don't like penny-pinchers.

If I go on a date its usually the guy who asks me. I never ask a guy out. So he pays. That being said, I still offer to pay at the end or I pay for the next dinner. Too many good choices on that poll hard to choose. Now I love food so it doesn't matter who pays I would choose to eat what I feel like and not bother much about the price.

Yes it's not really about that though...some women on this thread think that a man must pat for both everytime they go out for a meal, which is gold digging, serial dining out and dating...some have even said, that if a man don't spend enough, then they wud shame him...They have no right to dictate, what he spends or even where they go out to eat, when he is pay for the lot...the only time a woman should have a say is when she either pays her own bill or pays for the both of them.

You seem like a fair lady and that's how all women should be...if they can't treat a man to a meal, then it shows how little they must think of him and that's not the type of woman, that I wud waste a second on
LeeCharming: taking it in turns to pay or paying for ur own seems fairer...if u have to pay everyime, then it's not right...the same as it's not right if a man has to foot the bill everytime for the both of them
When married....Who pays....the one who makes the most money.....same at dating....
LeeCharming: I think they should still both take it in turns...people get taken for granted, when they are expected to pay everytime...it works out fairly, when couples take it in turns...who cares what the other one earns...it make no difference to taking it in turn to pay for a couples meal...it show the one, who pays cares, so women should be thinking along those lines...instead of expecting a man to pay every single time
Ok, my ex expected me to pay the whole time, so ur argument that Men always pays....is Very Faulty....U just c ur side, not reality.....
