Uh, if you go out and you make more(esp significantly) more than the other person, why would you not be willing to SPLIT or *GasP* pay teh whole thing?
And based on my experience, women often want the date as much as the man. That's why splitting the bill makes the most sense at first. It protects both man and woman from getting used for free drinks/dinner.
It's just kind of ironic to hear guys complaining about paying for a date on one hand, then complaining about the lack of respect women seem to have for them on the other.
It seems like some males can be as ridiculous as some females.
