Do men like paying for dates?

[Haha456]

I hear a lot of nonsense about men hating to pay for women on first dates. But I personally have never ever been on a date with a guy who hated paying for me. All the guys didn't want me to pay instead. They enjoyed paying for me even though I told them I wanted to do dutch

Men, just like women, hate being taken advantage of. If you’re dating in earnest, you won’t likely come by the kind of guy who expresses disdain for paying your way. But there are plenty of women out there who are just jaded and going through the motions, selfish and entitled, or panning for gold. If a guy runs into many of these women, especially in a row, he’s going to get jaded too. One way to check the system is to boycott expensive dates and another is to insist on Dutch. My experience suggests that a guy might as well give up on dating at that point. Because most women still insist on being treated early and often. I’ve literally never had a second date with a woman if i suggested something that costs no money or going Dutch. Sometimes i didn’t even get the first date! But that’s for the best. Ell oh ell! I also think there’s something about that “men pay” dynamic, likely a conditioned response. If a woman insists on going Dutch, it suggests to the guy that she’s not interested in him. If a guy suggests going Dutch, it suggests the same to the woman even if she doesn’t automatically assume he’s cheap or broke. Ell oh ell!
Traditional dating still works for traditional minded people. More progressive folks need a new system, but we’re still trying something that we know doesn’t work! The definition of insanity, some might say.

no literally. men would argue or talk over me when I tell them that I can pay for myself.

I always want to pay

it shows a man's passion for a woman, including his character.

I don't know, from my experience: it feels like some like it because it makes them feel like they’re doing their part from a “manly” perspective but from others I’ve noticed that it’s not something they ~like~ having to do but it’s something they will do wether they like it or not bc some girls def. do expect this from guys when on a date.
Personally, If I’m ever on a date I immediately say “I can pay for myself” for literally. absolutely. anything.

I just feel better showing a guy that I can pay for myself and that I don’t want him to feel like that’s what I expect of him.
Its funny though because I've had guys give me this “I’m offended” type-look when I say that. Why be offended? I’m saving you money

Do we like it? Not particularly. I would prefer it to be free but I don't mind doing it

[Anonymous]

I don't have a issue. But if I pay we doing what I wanna do. So it doesn't bother me.
