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.
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.
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.
I thought FReeper females were all about tradition lol.
A good man will just pay and not think you owe him anything.
Men like that aren’t worth dating.
