If the girl earns more than the guy, is it still expected that the guy should pay for all the dates?

Girl earns more, girl should pay

Still guys responsibility to pay even if he earns less

I'm a firm believer that the guy should always pay, no matter what.

[V_Injector]

We disagree here... women should always pay.

[BarryLiverstone]

Guys are never expected to pay for all the dates

[Finchie40]

It should be equal , whoever asks for the date? should be responsible for the date,, don’t ask anyone out on a date , if you don’t have money to take them on the date in the first place. If you don’t have money? ask them on a date that doesn’t involve money and just be honest about it , don’t just assume someone is going to pay for you. if money is a deciding factor on whether you like this person or not? , you have your answer right there , that you shouldn’t even consider dating that person if money is that big of a deal to you. If they don’t want to date you because you don’t have money? They are actually doing you a favor , Dating should be an equal decision , things like this should be discussed before going on a date with anyone. Just be honest with each other , if a girl calls me on the phone and asks me to go out with her and I am broke , I will tell her I’m sorry I am broke at this time, if she says , no problem , my treat , I will say are you sure? If she says Yes , I will then tell her next time it’s on me. It’s common sense , why do so many people have struggles with this

Drizzle drizzle baby.

Women can work now... so work while I lift weights and take care of the kids. I will have a meal ready for you and if you noticed that professional cooks and all the cooks in your favorite restaurant are males... you already know we cook better than you could. If you haven't noticed, then you're retarded.

[Avicenna]

Even women my age or a little older that I date usually want to split the bill/pay separately (these are women with professional jobs). It's mostly young women that expect a guy to pay for them (and they can easily find that).

[DishLady]

If the guy is a deadbeat then it sets the future up for a patchy relationship. If it's two salaried adults and she happens to make more, she should let him treats on occasions that will help boost his ego and then offer to treat on dates that she specifically has selected and are $$$$ (out of his range).

For example, a guy I know was dating a girl with really expensive tastes for broadway shows, etc. But he figured out a way to get tickets to her favorite shows at a good rate he could afford (standby tickets) and so he treated her...

But another time she wanted to go on a couples trip with her friends that involved airfare he couldn't manage... she covered it.

The couple has to be MATURE ENOUGH to strike a balance and be patient with each other.

[Flatmanlewis]

I don’t think income should even be discussed in the early phases of dating. The asker should pay and that’s just the way it should be.


Now, at some point as a relationship progresses it’s probably time to be realistic and asses a persons true abilities. The example I can give if (were I single) I was a mid-level manager and strike up a fancy with a new girls at work in an entry level position. I’m open to the first invites for coffee or dinner but as the time becomes more substantial and I’m aware she’s making $50K and year and I’m making $150K then the obvious and gentlemanly thing to do is pick up the tab.

[sheikalana]

Just because a woman makes more money that doesn't mean she doesn't want/like to be taken care of. Imagine if Beyoncé or any other millionaire celebrity is single again and goes on a date with a guy who's financially stable but not a millionaire. That guy will probably still pay for the date and not expect Beyoncé or Kim Kardashian to pay for everything. These applies to common women who earn more than guys.

I'm not paying for any date in the U. S. I travel frequently, and virtually ANY female that's a non immigrant in this country that's at least a 5 on looks is making bank hand over fist selling content sitting on her ass. I work online getting clients and on job "resume" boards, in any city or town population over 40,000 it's FULL of females selling content as their "resume." That's not even including any dating sites or social media boards... that's strictly JOB postings. Then I go out in public, and many of them are acting as if they're celebrities or just hit the lotto, and are ten steps above everyone else. So if they've got it like that... good. They get nothing from me.

[Krealot]

I belive that it does not matter who makes the most. Now this can change majorly depending on how severe this difference is. But take turns. Why does it have to be one or the other? Me as a guy, I would love to have a girl pay. I don't mind paying either but girls are not the only ones that like the attention.

[D_Bone_Steak]

Drizzle drizzle... women have to pay for my time and entertain me. I'm the prize.

[Chazmatazz269]

It is almost universally expected that the man pays for dates always. There are no caveats. Unlike women, men have not been liberated from antiquated gender roles.

[Flatmanlewis]

Actually this is pretty articulate. Well said.

[ArrowheadSW]

I think it just depends on the couple really. I made more than almost all women who I've dated, and some of them would occasionally insist that they pay. Usually I would pay of course.

[northerngal]

Who earns more is irrelevant in the early days of a relationship. Its about who asked who. If the low earner is the one who asked the high earner out well he/she should pay...

[msc545]

Conveniently ignores the fact that men ALWAYS ask or nearly always.

[sunflower00]

I think it should be 50/50 unless there is a significant difference in income, but even then the lower earner should chip in sometimes

[Unit1]

Eddie, what do you think?

[Anonymous]

If a girl earns more than a guy it would be better not to date her in the first place. As that only predicts trouble later in the relationship as she becomes resentful for doing everything.

[CrabCakes11]

That’s untrue lol

[Opinion Owner]

@CrabCakes11 Is it untrue? I know from many examples it is not at all untrue including examples of young women that started out thinking it would be untrue like yourself.

Women don't know themselves and being such emotional creatures are easily manipulated by a toxic and resentful feminist culture, who's leader want them to be single for political and personal reasons.

So yes it is sadly true too often and a man has no way of knowing if he is going to marry the odd woman in which it is not.

[CrabCakes11]

Any sources for these claims? Who is the “leader” of feminism exactly?

[Opinion Owner]

@CrabCakes11 Sure:
www.kiplinger.com/.../women-who-make-more-than-their-husbands-should-watch-out

Feminism like any ideological movement does not have a particular leader. Instead Ideological movements have a list of cultural leaders in major industries pushing it, such as those running hollywood, social media, and education all choosing to push the idea in their domain of control.
You won't find too many large studios making many non-feminist movies in the last several decades.

[CrabCakes11]

Interesting. Your source says that men are insecure little adulterers who’s egos are broken when their wives make more money than them

[CrabCakes11]

If she asked, she should pay. If he asked, they should split the bully

[CrabCakes11]

*bill

[itsclearlynicholas]

Interesting. I also voted A. Watching that gender divided ♂️ ♀️ at work 👀

[itsclearlynicholas]

👀 the waitress in the photo knows what's up lol 😆😅

[Anonymous]

im conflicted because a guy should always pay. but if a girl is using me for a free feed, or even worse lies about liking you just to get a few free dates. then na she can pay for the whole damn meal

[12karen]

I don't except guy to always pay tbh even if he earns more

[PapaJedi]

Of course the guy should pay. I like providing for the woman who deserves it.

[Nicollette1984]

I believe the asker pays. The person ask who out to dinner.

[msc545]

Conveniently ignores the fact that men ALWAYS ask or nearly always.

[handsomelad70]

If the girl earns more, an even split is desirable.

[msc545]

Women expect men to pay no matter how much they earn.

[msc545]

of course, on here, those women that answer will deny it.

[jahaims]

It should be split 50/50 either way

[Darkest-Knight]

Whoever did the asking out should pay.

[RedInnocent69]

Inviter pays.

[moneymagnet24]

Absolutely
