If a man directly asks for money in that form of way, there wouldn't be any more date. I don't mind splitting the bills and would actually pay for a whole date once (on my own will without getting reminded) but to be asked in that way?

Now the way I see it should go: splitting bills and then taking turns (one time the guys pays for the whole date and another time the woman does).

As far the real cheapstakes that will forever do 50/50 only and not even offer to pay once on a special occasion such as her birthday or Valentine's Day while the woman does on his b-day or so, then they're not worth future bf nor husband material because I would question how about the household bills and other responsibilities? Or will I be the one paying for all that and he isn't helping out? Is he frugal to his family as well too and others?

What would your reaction be?
dump him instantly, he must be a loser!

Maybe she meant, "If a man who asked me out also asked me to pay, there would not be another date"? I'd agree with that. You invite someone to go eat with ya, you're offering to pay. That's just how it goes.

why are you apologising for the hypocritical fems?

I thought you were all for equality, SSM and all that - or is it only equality when it fits into your ideology?

She may not be a feminist, ya know. Feminists do not expect to fed because they have vaginas. That's a traditional thing and given that you are a traditional man who likes to make fun of other bi and gay men, I'm not sure why you have a problem with it. Hypocritical yourself, much?

What on earth...

How do we know she meant she wouldn't be completely willing to both ask a guy out and pay for it?

That was the question. Do you have an answer?

Doesn't it depend on how much you like this guy? I mean if he's worth it, isn't it worth discussing it with him and getting your feelings out in the open?

seemed pretty clear that she expected the man to pay for the date, otherwise she'd not come back for a second.

So how about the woman pays for the food and the man gives her sex (if she is lucky)?

now that would be true equality.

doesn't sit quite right though does it.....
