I’m a liberated man, I am fine with a woman picking up the tab.
Any woman offended by my holding the door or paying for dinner can get bent.
During the Summers of the mid to late 60s, I worked at a Summer Retreat which employed over 400 College Summer Staff and around a hundred full time.
One day at Supper, Mom Weeks, the wife of the manager told the girls that they were making the same as the boys and they should pick up the tab on some dates.
It did no good. It was so ingrained in the girls that the boy pays that they ignored her advice.
I have been married forever. Haven’t picked up the check in years.
> women may see the gesture as a patronizing deal-breaker <
Single men, take note. Now you have a simple and effective way to tell if you’re dating a woman or a womon.* (Unless you want to be lectured nonstop forever, avoid the womon.)
* nonstandard spelling of “woman” adopted by some feminists in order to avoid the word ending -man
That Risk Management stuff is killer, Jerry!
Gold, Jerry. Gold!
I might have to order the Big Salad.
There are certain people who's opinion you should consider. You should be ready to tell the rest of the world to go take a flying leap. Then you should be ready to take the results of your actions without whining about it.
THAT is what makes you an adult.

“SOME!?!?!”
Who the absolute fck is she trying to kid here?
Apart from everything else, if you invite someone to dinner and pick the restaurant yourself it is only fair that you pay. The women probably wasn’t going to spend that much on her meal otherwise.
"We ALL pay for sex".
Any who made it an issue were never asked again.
The woman often expends considerable resources enhancing beauty and “feminine wiles” for a date, the guy usually only has to show up and not be an asshole. Paying for the date balances The expenditures.
Women. If the didn't have < insert favorite pejorative for female sexual organs here > there'd be a bounty on 'em.
There is no kind of man who doesn’t try to undermine women and try to control them. Just like there’s no kind of woman who doesn’t try to undermine men and try to control them.
I hold the door for others as I was taught at the age of 4.
I open the car door for my wife...and sometimes my daughters ...as I was taught at the age of 7 (when I could open the heavy things)
I remove my hat indoors (lest I have to buy a round - or get whopped upside the head by dad)
I try not to forget - please and thank you
I say “Merry Christmas” and happily usually get one back or at least a twinkling smile
Anyone who doesn’t like my actions and words - Sorry how I was raised and I intend to ensure my grandkids are the same
Any woman who makes a stink over the guy picking up the check deems herself not worthy of a second date. Consequently, any man who expects the woman to pick up the tab on a first date deems himself not worth of a second one.
I think that's called checks and balances.
a man who engages in this “benevolent sexism” could also be the type of guy who undermines women
“ Yes, yes that will be fine and the lady will just have water - no ice “
pound me too has led to MGTOW
