Why are men always expected to pay on the first date with a woman?

[straightmax12]

Did men do this many times before now?

Because if you don't pay there is a million guys waiting behind you who will.


My suggestion is don't pay... And see how far that gets you.

Because it’s an opportunity for the guy who planned the date to show in a small degree he has the ability to take care of her. If a guy can’t plan and pay for one date, why would she bother wasting her time on him?

I think it's a nice gesture on a first date and shows that the man is a gentleman and not stingy. Someone once told me that if you're stingy with money, you're also stingy with feelings

Of course it's not compulsory. But if you invite a woman, then it definitely doesn't hurt. It depends on the choice of words. I would say directly that I'm inviting... Then you can also see how the woman behaves. Some say that they would like to pay for their own food, others feel flattered and others order the most expensive. You can also decide for yourself which woman you want to see again

Because women deserve to be spoiled, and I'm not satisfied paying for just the first date; I always try to pay for all her dates, including the ones she has with other guys.

I am continually shocked at the hypocrisy, double standards and sexism of women on anything related to gender roles.

They are not, but quality men pay anyway.
