If you polled 100 women whether they would sign a marriage document in which the man faces no financial consequences, and she faces fifty percent asset seizure, I'd venture to guess roughly 99 of them would say no. Apparently you found the one, congrats are in order. Most Cosmopolitan cities, women who make 3 times as much as a male suitor are rarely willing to even split the drinks tab.

Why would some males not want to pay, if they want the date?

I think you have a very distorted view of marriage, dating, and women in general. In your world, all you see are money grubbing women looking to snag "successful" guys. In my world, I see pretty women on the arms on all kinds of guys. The mechanic I use is married to a knockout, the bike mechanic I use has a knockout girlfriend. The people who cut my grass are a husband and wife team who're both young and good looking. My best friend in Dallas is a bicycle mechanic/salesman who's significant other is a hotter than he is type who must out earn him 6:1.

I don't see what you see at all. As a matter of fact, almost without exception, all of the working class people I know are hooked up with somebody. The way you tell it, only the "successful" have a chance in the dating market, because women are all secretly planning to leave and take half.
