Please Stop The Blame Game About "Having to Pay" for a Date (Page 3)

[Sharkstealth]

I'm old fashioned. I believe in paying for dates but I also believe in a woman taking care of the home and children. More than once I have heard the it's not fair. Why do I clean the house and watch the kids while my husband earns the money and works on the house and car?

[runitupkai]

Yes, I personally agree. Whoever asked who out for the date, they should be paying not the person who got asked. If you're gonna ask someone out on a date at least have the money for the date..

[dragoblack]

I don't mind paying if we both enjoyed each others company and she was respectful.
But times have changed and society is not how it used to be. Either we start doing picnic dates and affordable dates, or dating may only be for the wealthy who can afford it

[OddBeMe]

Agreed. Firstly, i think it’s more a “man trying to look manly”. We do that.

In reality, or utopia, whomever asks out the person should pay. And that’s usually the guy. But if the human race will endure, girls need to learn how to ask guys out.

[Pohjolan]

I think guys are less upset about paying for dates per se than the bratty entitled demands that they must do so.

It makes it a lesser deed. Like someone telling you that they expect this and that for their birthday.

Its no longer being a gentleman but a simp.

Great post. I don't see why this is even a discussion. If you do the invitation you do the paying. If you're never getting invited out by women the least of your problems is "always having to pay."

[genericname85]

ok. if you stop the blame game about "having to pay" for makeup and personal hygiene items. we can just stop the bullshit and everyone pays for themself. we live in an equal society so no reason to even argue about these things.

[HighValue]

Until millions of women willing get their limbs blown off and shot to death defending their families and society, they really have no right to complain.

Always pay for the date (for a PROSTITUTE), but not if she is a normal fair person.

[spartan55]

I will always pay for the first date. Most women offer to split, some don't. Doesn't bother me either way.

[Lionman95]

I agree with you. Because I think that there are way more and better date ideas than to go to a high class restaurant.

I'm not spending money on a woman who wants a guy to treat her with wifey material with $200 steak dinners, while she has her eyes on other dudes and is ready to pounce on the next big dick she sees, no thanks. The most ill do is go to a proper cafe for some cappuccino and dessert, call it a night.

[zagor]

I think formal dinners as a first date are really stupid, but not (just) because of expense. They aren't a good atmosphere for casual conversation and it makes it hard to cut them short if one or both parties want to.

[D_Bone_Steak]

I've never paid for a date, but I never ask for a date. They want the date, they want me, they can pay, and they can impress me. Dance monkey dance.

[molonski2]

I've always liked to pay , so you get no complaints from me , I agree , I understand its difficult for some poor young guy with no money , just keep it real , no need to spend a plethora.

[RingOfFire]

"Case in point, you wouldn't ever invite someone to your house for dinner and then expect them to cook, would you?"

No! That would be so rude!

I ask them to pay for the food since I did the cooking!

[larry69]

Men should always pay for dates end of story.

It'd expensive to be a woman and they have to endure periods and pay lots of money and time into being beautiful.

[Anonymous]

If I ask my friend if they want to go see a movie, would I pay for their tickets?

Don't get me wrong, I fully intend to pay for dates because that's what I want to do. But your logic isn't fully sound. Just because someone proposed the idea doesn't mean they should foot the bill.

[Djaay]

Only those who intrinsically don't know how to relationship with another can be found implicating and articulating dating. Dating is for those who can't seem to come to terms with an accual relationship or marriage..

[inhua]

equality has always been a myth. about time society should stop pushing for it

[strawberrybaby3]

Guy should always pay for the date, I don’t care what anyone says

[FellowTraveler]

Then why are you on this forum SBB3? Other opinions?
