+155 women that expect the man to pay for everything on dates don't actually want love, amirite?

I don't think someone should expect to get paid for on every date but I do think sometimes (although you should always be prepared to pay for yourself if need be) it is fair to expect you will be paid for depending on the circumstances of the date. For example if the date is a surprise date then since you couldn't suggest ‘hey let's go somewhere cheaper' it should be paid for. Equally if you're the one paying a lot more for transport to see the person your dating then them buying you coffee in your coffee date makes sense. Also imo you should never insist on paying 50/50 it should be pay for what you got.

My old roommate would go on dates and label them as free meal on her phone.

And this is why you only do coffee or a drink on 1st dates grass hopper.

I don't mind if she's unemployed. If she earns more money than I do, she can definitely pay for her own stuff.

Yeah there should be a natural reciprocity and it not be a huge deal one person gets it one time,

I think it is wrong for a woman to go on a date and expect that the man pay for everything. Always bring your own money. However, if the lady is the one being courted and the date is going well I think the man should not allow the lady to pay. It would be polite of her to offer but the man should not allow it. He is the one courting her, impressing her and displaying that he can take her of her. This is first date only though. Going forward the woman should offer to pay for second date or contribute in some way, maybe make him a meal or something. And maybe I am wrong in this thinking... blame my Easter European ways.

See this is what I don't like re: men being expected to pay.

I think I pretty much agree with you

If person "A" invites person "B" to go somewhere/do something, person "A" picks up the tab, regardless. Don't want to pay? Don't invite. Seems pretty straightforward.

So if a woman asks her female friend if she would go to an amusement park or something with her, she has to also pay for her friend?

Don't want to pay? Don't accept.

I used to pay for dates. So not only was I not getting love, but I was still viewed as a sex hole.

I think whoever asks should pay. But Always, always bring your own money.

I'm honestly sick and tired of this argument...do you know how to settle this for good...whoever asked to go on the first date should pay, otherwise it's basically saying "would you like to pay money to hang out with me and get to know me" and then afterwards if you are a mature, responsible ADULT, you settle the issue before dinner for following dates, if you don't like the answer, don't go on the date.

You're ignoring the fact that it's expected for the man to be asking the woman out. Even in places where it's normal to pay for your own food it's still expected for the man to do the asking out.

I feel like those are two different concepts? Dates are meant for people to get to know each other (and go somewhere nice in the process). Many of them won't lead to love, let alone life partners, that's fine. Some women like, scratch that, *deserve* things to be gifted to them, the more the better. Doesn't mean they won't find love along the way, maybe even change for the better. If it doesn't work out though - they've aquired some material affection along the way, win win. Basically - a toxic person can fall in love and maybe become a little less toxic. Maybe.

Yes, and no. Some people want a traditional relationship where men pay for the woman and that's fine. A woman shouldn't expect every date she goes on the man will pay, in case the man doesn't share that same opinion, and she may need to pay for herself. However, some men will happily pay for the woman's meals, and that's how the relationship would work. It's just about the people

I would think it's a red flag if he didn't want to pay for a first date, beyond that, agree

See this is what I don't like re: men being expected to pay. 1) women just go out assuming he's gonna cover it. 2) Restaurants are not free, this entitlement sense is a turn off. women should be willing to go 50/50. 3) there can be no chemistry on either party part or date can go awful it's not fair he should automatically foot bill.

So ask her out for coffee or something less expensive. You asked her, you probably picked the place, you should pay. Just my opinion.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

I don't think it's entitlement if you, the guy, quite literally are the person who asked and is probably most likely the one going to plan the date. If you can't afford to pay for the date, then why would you plan to go? This isn't even just targeted at men, the person who asked and is planning it should be the one paying for it .

Things like this where you can literally flip a word in the sentence and completely destroy the entire point are dumb imo "I would think it's a red flag if she didn't want to pay for a first date" What makes the man the one that needs to prove himself lmfao?

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Just assuming the guy asked

Would you consider it a red flag if he always wanted to pay for everything?

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Yeah there should be a natural reciprocity and it not be a huge deal one person gets it one time, next time the other person.. people who want to split and get separate checks just seem weird to me though

by Anonymous 1 year ago

I mean it's relative. If he's inviting, sure. If you're the one inviting then expecting him to pay is a massive red flag.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Yes

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Whoever asked for the date should pay.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

First date should be a coffee or a gelato, anyway. If you can't afford to pay for that cheap without making a big fuss about it, what does it tell your potential date about you? Just pay.
