So much for chivalry. Venmo, a peer-to-peer payment app owned by PayPal and popular with millennials, isnt just letting 20-somethings split cab fares and utility bills its turning guys into really stingy dates.

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.
Don’t know if they are all crazy, but my ex-wife is crazy as a sh!t house cat.
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.
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.
I think is has expanded as far south as North Carolina now.
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
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.
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.
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.
“men should always pay for the first few dates.”
There’s a little bit of prostitute in most women...
So insensitive. So sexist. So homophobic. So un-PC. And so d@mn funny!
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.
Oh, I see.
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!
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.
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.
