If you think men should always pay for women on dates, why do you think he should?

[Jammaa]

I'm curious what you all think.

If you have a strong opinion on why it should not be this way, feel free to share why as well.

[BarryLiverstone]

I think a guy paying for the first date is an opportunity to show he’s got the ability to take care of things even on such a small scale. After that on subsequent dates I think the financial part of dates should be with both people contributing.



Did you mean to ask why would men pay for all dates?

[Jammaa]

No I meant what I asked

[BarryLiverstone]

Ok then no. I strongly don’t believe the guy should pay for all dates

[Billlewis]

I always pay for a date with the women whom I meet, but it doesn't stop there. If she tells me she has additional dates lined up with other guys she wants to meet, I enjoy asking her for the privilege of paying for those dates, as well, to the extent I can handle doing so.

[thatcreepingchickkk]

I feel as though whoever as who on the date should pay. But it would be nice if a guy pays for all dates but it’s not expected.

[inhua]

the only times when a guy should pay is when the girl is actually worth it

most guys have a terribly flawed vetting process and continued to get used as wallets by girls that don't care about them

[Nifrayu]

My first girlfriend payed for all the dates we went on. But I guess that's because she was the one courting me. My second relationship was more of a 50 50 split.

[Gabriela06]

Do you like the 50/50?

[Nifrayu]

@Gabriela06 Honestly I like it more when my date pays for things. It really made me feel desired and valued, but I don't have an issue going 50/50.

[DummyThiccFeraligatr]

No one's time is worth more than someone else's. Unless she's a prostitute or a contractor / employee, I'm not paying for her time on a date. If she likes me, then my company will be sufficient for her to want to be around me.

[OddBeMe]

Because he asked her out probably. If I ask someone to drinks or lunch to get to know them or their business I pay.

I’m planning a BBQ at our studios next week for American fcking Airlines. I’m pumped!

[exitseven]

The person that extends the invitation should be the one that pays.

[Sparkie460]

I have always paid regardless of what number date it is. I was brought up that that's one way to show your respect for a woman. The man should also open doors for women and help her with her chair

[Jammaa]

So you just listened blindly? Is there not more to it?

[Sparkie460]

That's just how I was brought up. I will never disrespect a woman

[Jammaa]

What if she killed someone you love? Still no big deal? I'm really curious. I take things pretty literally so when you say never, that just seems extreme

[Sparkie460]

You take things out of the box. Obviously I wouldn't date a killer

[Rab1901]

What if it was an accident?

[Jerre]

I always pay for the cost of a date because I can. I think it shud be up to each couple to decide who pays.

[Jerre]

@Jammaa Thank you for the Like

[LiamJHayden]

Nope. The couple should do what works for them.

[Juxtapose]

I don't think men should have to pay because this is not the 1950s anymore.

[Anonymous]

I'll usually pay because I'm most likely the one who asked her out on the date. However, women aren't entitled to a man's money and as an adult she should be prepared to pay for herself.

[Anonymous]

I personally wouldn’t do anything I had to pay for on the first date. And subsequently, after if she is worthy enough I wouldn’t mind picking up a bill or two.. but she has to be worth it

[soe11]

In simple answer is his dignity to impress.

[Anonymous]

I don't pay for dates.

[In_Trance]

No i don't
