    Who likes to be told what should you do, wear, etc? Would you like if someone did this to you? And not all women are like that, some are because they face these things.

      Most women don’t expect men to pay for dates. Usually it’s men who refuse to let the woman pay if she wants to. Of course it’s great if he plans a date but he doesn’t have to.

      I think women who will pay are in the minority of women, and even less are willing to plan them and ask the guy out.

      I think it’s more common amongst younger women. If he asks her out he can’t expect her to pay. If she asks him out she can’t expect him to pay either.😅 Women who ask men out are more common than ever.
