Cheap bros have found a new way to get out of paying for dates.

So much for chivalry. Venmo, a peer-to-peer payment app owned by PayPal and popular with millennials, isn’t just letting 20-somethings split cab fares and utility bills — it’s turning guys into really stingy dates.

[HamiltonJay]

Tacky yes... But as everyone knows...

Women want all the benefits of “equality” without any of the obligations.

Deprogramming the feminist claptrap out of a “modern” woman from all the feminist dogma isn’t worth it, I blame no one who decides on a mail order bride.

Personally whoever asks the other out should pay, period.

Actually, I’d prefer she bring me a turkey pot pie and a beer.

[RightGeek]

These days even the sandwiches are messed up.

[Roger Kaputnik]

Don’t know if they are all crazy, but my ex-wife is crazy as a sh!t house cat.

Back when I dated, I always made it clear that we would split the bill every time. I didn’t want any man thinking I owed him something.

Back in the day, I always paid. The only thing I felt "OWED" was honesty and respect.

Now days, too many women EXPECT a guy to pay. EXPECT this. EXPECT that. All the while offering nothing in return.
(Except some offer the golden vajayjay)

Recently saw a video on this subject, where one woman put it this way:
"No finance, no romance".

Today, many men just choose to go MGTOW.
And women across the board are pissed.

[HamiltonJay]

Yes, unless it is very clear up front that it’s not a date, my buddy and I were going to go to X but he backed out I’ll let you have it for face value if you want to come along...

Not a date.

Hey, want to go to the X concert with me?

Date.

They've never heard of Sheetz, a fine institution here in Western Pennsylvania, where you can get a couple of awesome smoothies and a pizza for two for around $12.

I think is has expanded as far south as North Carolina now.

I've been listening to 50's and 60's love ballads playlists the past couple of days and I realize .... we (born in '48) were subliminally conditioned to really attempt to love our girlfriends/boyfriends and to feel bad about common love/life tragedies

I'll meditate on this some more, but I think THAT may be the missing element in the American social structure today

I lament the absence of Norman Rockwell and HIS influence and maybe the teenage music of the time was/is an element I would like to bring back

BTW .. The Temptations' "Losing You" ROCKS

My other favorite is Can't Get Next To You

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

The attitude of these women seems to be, "I can protect myself, pay my bills, take care of myself and do everything...I just like to let you protect and pay for me sometimes...And don't you DARE think that you can do it better than I can -- but just do it for me, but remember that I'm allowing you do your inferior best, for which you should thank me."

Guess what gals, if you continually beat men over the head telling us that you don't need us, we'll leave. Enjoy being a bitter old hag who thinks Hillary Clinton is a lovely person.

[dhs12345]

Lol. Good point. Besides, it is a test for both — if the woman is okay with going dutch then that means that she is less likely to be self-centered and more likely to have integrity. Long term relationships are partnerships.

[TwelveOfTwenty]

It’s that “Time for Some Male Bashing of Our Own” link I’ve posted in the past, but from Google because it no longer resides at the original link.

[babygene]

“men should always pay for the first few dates.”

There’s a little bit of prostitute in most women...

[Vigilanteman]

So insensitive. So sexist. So homophobic. So un-PC. And so d@mn funny!

[dhs12345]

Their attitude changes about midlife or right before the biological clock starts to wind down.

A mid-life single guy is probably not interested in a long term relationship or even getting married since he has probably already been through a divorce or two and if a woman is unmarried by midlife, relationships can be frustrating and very disappointing.

I’m a (nearly...) 54 year old upper middle class white guy living in suburbia, but dammit man, Motown has *always* been my favorite.

Nowhere to Run Martha and the Vandella's

[Tax-chick]

Oh, I see.

[Tax-chick]

I now recall having read that.

He doesn’t address the fact that men passed the laws, and men could change them. Men make the commercials that degrade men.

On the other hand, women imitate the Kardashians. Women get industrial silicon injections to get bigger backsides.

It’s like everyone is idiots these days!

Back when I dated, I always made it clear that we would split the bill every time. I didn’t want any man thinking I owed him something.

I would never split the ticket with a female, even if it was not a date. Always open doors for women, generally even when they don't deserve it. In my thinking, women are special until they prove otherwise. I can feel this way and not view or treat women less than equal.

[LambSlave]

Back in the day, I always paid. The only thing I felt "OWED" was honesty and respect.

Same here, still do this, as would any gentleman. Even for those who offer to split the bill, or refuse to accept it. I say, I'm a gentleman, I hold doors, pull out chairs, and open the car door for you too. If you don't like it don't go out with me anymore.
