      The ROI you get on a relationship is well worth the expense of paying for some dates.

      yeah because you actually another male or grandfather to show you that is the gentleman thing to do. I think that's what's missing in the current equation, lack of male role models. the males today were brought up primarily by women - if not single women who were strong.

      If girls weren't so shallow, some guys might actually care about their inner beauty more, not only their outer beauty (which seems to attract the bigger number of girls) and dump all kinds of good behaviour and chivlary

      We give guys special treatment too. Just in other ways. Everyone wants to feel special. I don't believe equality can exist because we are too different and each gender in general has different needs. So call it special treatment if you want. But at the end of the day men get their special treatment too. That's all I hear from the younger generations is how they can't get girlfriends. It's because they have turned into the very thing they hated. Feminists! Male feminist and their fight for something that doesn't exist and only makes them look like whiny 5 yr olds screaming, "IT'S NOT FAIR!!!😫😤 It's just not attractive.

      @PinkMichae but realistically, there is no equal treatment in this scenario.
      Man goes on 10 first dates before he finds a woman he’s compatible with to go on another one. Throwing out an average of $100 per date that’s $1000 he’s investing in an unknown - what are women giving up in the first stage of dating to equal that?

      Guys do get things in return. But I do believe if the woman ask him on a date she should pay. But it natural for a woman to want to be pursued and natural for a guy to want to pursue her. At least it use to be natural. You think every thing between a man and woman is gonna be equal but it won't be.

      However it will equal out in the end with all of us giving. Just different things and in different ways. Often times a woman can tell in one date if the guy is worth her time. If he invites her out and tells her now pay your part it's almost a guarentee he won't see her again. Men and women are different. And that's ok. You don't see us complaining that we carry your babies for 9 months, go through the excruciating pain for over 24 hrs to have your babies, and all for the baby to take your last name. We did all the work. Wheres your gender neutral there. But guess what? We don't complain about that. We are fine with it being that way. So the least you can do is pay for the dates you make and be a gentleman.

      @PinkMichae “natural for a guy to want to pursue a girl”. No, wrong. Bullshit. Guys don’t enjoy “pursuing” women. We pursue women because it IS OUR JOB. I don’t enjoy getting rejected, encountering flakes, freeloaders, etc. If you want a gender switch you can have that all! But I do it because if I want to find someone I have to. I hate sticking my neck out, but it’s how it is. Most women are completely oblivious to what this is like for most guys.

      And we are talking about a simple issue of who pays for the first date and now you are bringing up child birth? Like those issues are so related (cough). No, stay on the topic of hand.

      To make things simple the person who asks for the date should pay. Simple.

      by the way I almost always pay the penis tax by picking up the tab on first dates. A few rare exceptions when a woman absolutely insisted splitting the bill I let her. But it’s usually a sign she’s not interested but doesn’t want to feel in debt to me, which I can respect. I actually respect that a lot because she’s not a mooch.

      Some guys may not like that's how it is. But the minute we state pursuing you suddenly you aren't interested. Yes it's natural. Not just in us but a lot of animals with males pursuing the females. Some like you may not like it but a lot of guys I've talked to agree. Because they loose interest in a woman throwing herself at them. I personally don't like the games and just say what I feel instead of trying to act mysterious. Or not acting too interested. And the guys like it at first but like I said lose interest. Luckily I finally found a guy that doesn't mind that I pursue him and loves for it. But in most cases it doesn't work that way. And don't think we don't have to deal with stuff like weeding out the players.

      @PinkMichae women want CHALLENGE. Why else do most of them go for “bad boys” when they are younger and their instincts are more raw?

      Also many get off on the just getting the attention and nothing else. But when meet a guy who only gives hot and cold attention it intrigues them.

      I only know because I have been in both scenarios. Anyway women need to respect the fact that initial dating is usually much harder for guys than vice versa. Most don’t care to see how it is on our end.
