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.
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.
