Should the guy pay for the date because it cost women 3 times as much to look good for him? (Page 2)

[Ally247]

I'd always pay half, I wouldn't want to be paid for

[pleasestopthis]

No. Most women don't spend that much just to go on a date, they wear what they already have in their closet and make up they already own.
Some guys prefer to pay but it's selfish of a woman to expect to get free dates everytime.

[bulletbob555]

Just should if that's someone's rationalization then fine. I think the man should pay because I'm of a ceartain age I guess

[pajamasam]

I think two adults can have a mature conversation about who wants to pay for the date when the bill comes to the table.

[Jamie05rhs]

No. They need to figure that out BEFORE the bill comes to the table. ... Better yet, before they even order.

[pajamasam]

I dont see why it NEEDS to be known at the start of the date, but even so. Why can't it be part of just a plain old conversation. Maybe the guy expresses "i feel like a douche when the lady pays"

Maybe the girls says "that's okay but I want to pay sometimes so you don't feel like you have to pay"

Maybe both parties agree to split it

I just don't see why it can't just be a plain Jane conversation no different than deciding what to order, or picking which movie to watch. Liie any other conversation a couple might have.

[Kaazsz]

Nope. We don’t live in the jungle anymore. It’s not a man’s job anymore to be your provider. You can provide for yourself now ladies.

[Iron_Man]

The first three dates are OK but not every single date

[Anonymous]

No, women just use that as an excuse to not pay for anything. Cosmetics don't cost that much, and clothing can cost a lot, or cost a reasonable amount, and either way, look good. Women choose what they buy, and usually have another man paying for it all anyway.

[HOAAH]

Pay for your own meals and movie unless you are married and share expenses.

[Bandit74]

No one forces them to do any of that and most seem to say they "do it for themselves" and not for men.

[rachiga]

Bahaha i wish I coluld answer this But every date I have ever gone to I tirn up without makeup and ussually in a tshirt.

[Givemore]

Seriose! Less material lmao, show up naked, you get flowers and a five course meal. Yer do the fairytale if you need, but we just need your box. Im a gentalman but just saying how it is. x

[Anonymous]

It's always the broke, boring dudes who complain. Those who can afford it don't mind at all.

[iFarted]

I'll always pay for the first date regardless, but if she says that then there won't be a second.

[SunnyCaliGirl]

That's not always true, some of us look great naturally <3 ;)

[jasco]

Honestly i don't like heavy make up, so if you put that heavy make up to the point of where i notice it, then that's on you. I prefer girls who wear little make up to the point of where it isn't noticeable

[Anonymous]

Haha although that's true, I don't think it should be a rule. Let each person choose everything for themselves since that plays a huge role in defining compatibility between the couple.

[Anonymous]

Is that a question that's looking for honest opinions, or are you just trying to make a point?
You seem to argue with everyone that answers the question

[itzmera]

idddk I feel like it shouldn't matter who pays. it shouldn't be just the guy paying every time.

[douride2]

Just because it takes some women 3 times as much to get ready for a date is a lousy reason for the guy paying to whole shot.

[pantyloverr]

Thank you beautiful

[JSmuve]

Well that would be conceding that at least some women dress up for the benefit and attention of men, which is heresy to speak of around this site.

[Jack-Shepard]

Guys don't care about make up, women do it for themselves not their dates.

[DavidFox]

Nope, the guy pays for the first date for other reasons

[Daniel3035]

If that's true then how is she paying for my gym membership so I look good and all the thing I use to look good?

[Minahh]

I'm always ready to pay for myself but if he offers to pay on a first date it just shows me that he is polite and a gentleman.

[kingofthellamas]

Fuck no. That is a lot of expensive make up. What is that girl trying to hide?

[ShootShootBangBang]

I think folks need to give shit polls like this a rest.
Do you don't bother others.

[coachTanthony]

Yes I agree and stop commenting on them HELLO.

[allaboutyou2]

No, a guy should pay for the date because he is a gentleman.
There doesn't need to be another reason.

[InferiorElegy]

That's the exact same argument that guys should get sex because they paid for the date, both are invalid arguments.

[robocop666]

women doing their make up are wasting their time. All men care about is boobs and butts. Just wear tight jeans and a push up bra. Problem solved.

[coachTanthony]

Men of status are much different!

[Anonymous]

No. Nobody is forcing women to buy a bunch of makeup and color their face with it. They do this themselves and think we're supposed to pay them back for something they don't even have to do. Seriously most men dont even like make up anyway.

[Anonymous]

I'd say it should be because of the pay gap and extra essential hygiene shit for periods that y'all don't fucking have to buy.
Otherwise no.

[Guanfei]

Haha. No. Fuck this. I won't pay to be rejected anyway. I'm tired of being used.

[SHREYASH007]

I would prefer zero make up girl and still pay complete for lunch/dinner date.

[Torari]

Aren't women always claiming they put in that effort for themselves, not for men?

[bamesjond0069]

Yes they should pay but not because a girl puts efforts into her looks. Thats totally unrelated.

[heatherlj01]

Agreed I didn’t mean they should pay because of the effort into looks either if a woman wants to look nice that’s her choice and I’m not sure any woman would think “I dressed up he’d better buy me lobster tonight!) or at least not me or the women I know lol but I am just old fashioned

[bamesjond0069]

@heatherlj01 the only thing i dont agree with id paying for modern women. Like if a girl works a real job and isn't the kind who would ever cook for me then i think she needs to pay just as much. It just doesn't make sense because men pay because they intend to be the provider. If the woman is a co provider or intends to be the main provider she has to pay too.

[heatherlj01]

And I also understand holding the door is a curtesy not a responsibility I was simply saying not many men these days extend that Curtesy anymore for the elderly, women, men, children, or anyone I don’t think it’s anyone’s responsibility to do that I thinks it’s nice to do that I also don’t think a man has a responsibility to pay for the date I think it’s a nice thing to do also that’s just my opinion if the guy and woman don’t feel that way great they can split / or take turns paying, it’s really up to the two people on the date

[heatherlj01]

*dont extend the cutesy anymore

[bamesjond0069]

@heatherlj01 well i think its such a big issue because as a man i can say, there are women who make money and spend a lot of effort at careers and do not expect to be spending any extra time taking care of a household YET they still expect or even demand a man pays for all or most things. Ridiculous!

[heatherlj01]

If a woman is that way why even ask her out if she’s demanding anything, that’s not a woman/man that i would ask on a date look I get it I’m lucky enough to get to work at my husbands HVAC business maybe bc i have been married 10 years and work at a family business and share all the money I shouldn’t have shared an opinion on this question

[bamesjond0069]

@heatherlj01 well men dont necessarily know that before they go out with a woman. One its kind of a weird thing to ask soon after meeting someone and women also dont usually volunteer it.

[heatherlj01]

@bamesjond0069 I guess you’re right that wouldn’t be a nice ice breaker 😂

[locutus9999]

should i pay cause the decision of others?, simple answer no...

[Beautyforeverybody]

Whoever invited shall pay.

[coachTanthony]

Then that would be the man because let's face it... although it happens from time to time... women don't do that.

[Beautyforeverybody]

Yes. Unless it’s his birthday or something. I am a traditional woman so i expect my man to do those gestures

[coachTanthony]

Then why say whoever invited shall pay.. why not just say the man? Being Old fashioned and what not?

[Beautyforeverybody]

Because in some cases, women could be the host as well.

[coachTanthony]

Thank god for those few cases to make that point. You are right.

[msc545]

No, actually, she is wrong and just doesn't have the courage to say she *expects* men to pay for her - every time.

[Beautyforeverybody]

@msc545 I do have to courage. Men should pay for dates. Happy?

[msc545]

Yes, thank you for your honesty. I don't like what you said, but I respect you for saying it.

[Beautyforeverybody]

You are welcome. I am for freedom. If in your romantic life, 50/50 rule works then apply it but I am personally a traditional person

[AkshiJanjua]

Lol now women want to make excuses just to get free food

[David_Bayer]

I don't have strong opinion on that I would probably offer to pay but I insist.

[Anonymous]

It's stunning that in 2020 almost a third of females still answer yes to this question.

[Anonymous]

Nope. I belive either both pay their part or the person asking out pays.

[Anonymous]

Tiny problem with that question... most men are not shallow enough that her not being dolled up matters that much.

[Slim57]

No not that reason lol. I just pay cause I was raised for the man to pay, at first

[Guy0nGaG]

I prefer to pay because I'm old fashion like that.

[Sessy]

I say let him pay because he's the man

[Sessy]

Let me elaborate, if he invited her on a date then he should treat and if she is taking him on a date then she should treat

[Niya2006]

Voted a lmaooo

[Dayman343]

One of the most ridiculous questions ever

[coachTanthony]

And appears one of the most popular for comments. Strange.

[Thea99]

I believe the asker who should play.

[RanfomPerson]

Yes
Tis is fair

[Anonymous]

No lol not at all.
