I doubt these results.

Once upon a time, women were of such quality that a man would do quite a lot to be deemed worthy of her time. Today it's different.

He: "Look, I good be playing video games, I could be drinking with my buddies, I could be doing a bunch of stuff. But I'll spend time with you if you a) help pay for the date and b) put out right away."

Her: "Okay!"

This is the consequence of the Academic Media complex's having embraced the Feminist Absurdity. Believe it or not, there was a time when most men considered it a basic attribute of manhood, to provide for women & children; to protect women & children, and to celebrate the feminine woman, not the shrew who demanded a make believe world where everyone was equal; everyone interchangeable.

Feminism is the sexual side of the same silliness that blames those who succeed in any field, for those who fail; the big lie, that it is society's fault that everyone does not do as well as every one else in the schools; for the achievement & income gaps, etc., ad nauseum. It is the sexual aspect of the over-all nightmare embraced by Leftist theories; demonstrated in the election of an alien raised bigot who hated America, as President of the United States in 2008. It is the sexual aspect of a world where many people are more obsessed with jealousy towards others, than actually developing their own useful talents.

No man would let his lady pay for a date - except on special rare occasions - such as his birthday. I’m sorry, but if you’re not ready, willing and able to support the woman that, presumably, you are hoping to bear and care for your children - then you are no man.

A guy struggling through college and dating a lady with a decent job? Here’s a hint guys: If she is happy to spend time with you on your budget, you have found a keeper! If she insists on always dating on her budget, watch out! She is willing to emasculate you for temporary pleasures...not a good sign.

A little story about someone I consider a true lady - my sister: Her husband-to-be was not very practiced in the art of dining out, and on their first few dates he was apt to forget to tip. My sister, being the lady that she is, did not want to embarrass him by calling attention to his lapse - so she she would say, “Let me pay the tip this time”. It didn’t take long, and he started remembering.

You pay for dinner & the movie everything else is on me.

Had a great conversation with my 88 yr old dad about this last night.
We agreed that at first the guy pays (pursuit) but if things go well, the gal pays if it’s her idea.
Sound fair?
