Search Results: does he only think of me as a friend

This question is specifically for YOUNG STRAIGHT MEN under 40.
I already know old men still do this commonly.

Do you pay for a woman's meal and stuff on a date? Are you the type to pay for her dinner, meals, drinks, cab fare, etc, if you're dating her?

Pretend like the date was mutually agreed upon. As if, she insisted you ask her out, and you two mutually agreed upon an inexpensive restaurant.

Honestly, I think it's pathetic and on some major cuck sh*t to still be paying for women in the 2020s UNLESS she was already a close friend and you know she's not going to be taking advantage of you. Some guys try to say "It's cause I'm a gentleman," but you can also be a gentleman without being a sucker who gets scammed by women you barely even know. I think it's antiquated and foolish nowadays, especially since many women will treat you like a business transaction and say Red Flag sh*t like "don't waste my time" as if only HER time is valuable or matters.

So I've always believed that a quality woman wouldn't treat you like a business transaction and that any hoes out there worth avoiding are the only ones who still expect men to "whine and dine" her, while she makes as much money as you do, if not more. It's total Red Flag sh*t and simp sh*t to have a grown woman expect you to pay for her in the 2020s.

What's your opinion on it?
