On a first date, who should pay for the bill: man or woman?

Question

Normally I’d say the men. That’s how I was raised. But things have changed. You have women who meant equality. Part of equality means putting in your part. It also depends on what kind of relationship each person is seeking. If you wants equality then yes she needs to foot her part of the bill. If she wants traditional then she needs to be traditional herself, not just in the way of the man pays for everyone. She needs to be a SAHM, a wife, cook, clean, etc. There’s a lot of women who simply go out w men to get free meals throughout the week. I don’t agree w that. A lot of women say they won’t sleep w a man right away to make sure he’s serious about this relationship. Maybe men shouldn’t pay for dates till about the 6th date that way they know she’s serious about dating him as well. It all depends. Then you could go w whoever ask should pay.

It's whatever dynamic they agree to, but it should be spoken about before going on the date so everyone knows what to expect.

For me, if a girl believes in equality, she can pay her own bill and I'll pay mine. Simple, go dutch. If she wants a traditional relationship where the man is the breadwinner and she's the homemaker, then I'll pay the bill.

But women can't expect equality without the responsibilities. If you want to work, that's fine. But that means you should also pay bills. We can split chores, cooking, and everything else if she's working too. But if she doesn' work, she should be doing the majority of the housework. And it's so easy to do housework nowadays with all the current technology. Back in the day before all these conveniences were around, being a homemaker was a full time job.

I'd insist on splitting, just in case he turns out to be one of those 'you owe me' types. Best to avoid that.

Whoever wants to make the extra effort. If no one, it's 50/50.

And 80% of the woman voted “the man” should pay the bill. And I bet half those women support “feminism” too like completely self serving hypocrites.

Whoever asked for the date should pay. Most of the time it’s the man. But sometimes the woman does.

HighValue · Answer

Each should pay their own way, or the woman can pay for the food and the man pay for the activity. Something fair like that. Women that insist the man pays are the types to just use people for a free meal. They are doing it for financial gain and we all know what that makes them. Pr0$t1tut3$ which MOST are.

I'm old school, so i'd say the guy. But i know how f***ed up dating is supposed to be these days. That some women just serial daters, etc. So while i'd say the guy, i don't think there's anything wrong with a holding the opinion the woman should pay her way, or a woman not giving a second date to that man. I'd say a good 2/3 of the women i've dated have offered to pay their half. I've always at least APPRECIATED the women who've offered even though i turned the offer down.

I believe if a man took time to date a woman is because he likes her. The man should pay. Paying for a date isn't that big of a deal anyways.

As the man, I would assume I'd be on the hook regardless of income disparity. If she mentions a different solution, I'd consider that.
