Actually, I see a big disconnect between the way many men behave on these boards and my own experience. Sorry, but as others have pointed out, the extent to which a few people pizz and moan about who pays for what is grossly out of proportion to reality. All of this whining is the self-indulgent nattering of a mere handful of people with axes to grind, many (if not most) of whom have never managed to form a steady relationship.
Now you are delving into territories I couldn't possibly care less about. When they create a thread seeking advice, I'd oblige. Until then, I'll agree or disagree with what they post, but for now, I'm not particularly concerned about their success or failure in dating.
It's one thing to have an opinion about people's dating lives based on what they post, but it's another thing to post those assumptions. The latter is somewhat rude IMO especially when you consider the fact that you don't know these people.
Having to listen to people constantly complain about others yammering is far more nauseating than listening to the actual yammering if there's any. If you're sick of reading their repetitive comments, you're more than welcome to ignore the person.
However, I see people go on and on about how a poster constantly sends them PMs with the intention of arguing, and how they're done reasoning with him and so on and so forth, but then go ahead and reply to one of his posts right after. That's weak.
And don't get me started on the absurd implication that someone who sent you a PM with the intent of having gender related argument was actually trying to hit on you. Talk about narcissism.
you all are the kings of 'say one thing, do another' so with that in mind, I would only be content with paying for my own meal and him doing the same. (I don't date btw). It is just a way to have clean break from each other and that way he cannot come back and say I owe him for something (sexual or non sexual). If he was uncomfortable with that line of thinking, then too bad I guess.
Don't you think that's a little harsh? Into every woman's life, a jerk will fall. It's the law of averages. But there are some really terrific men out there. Good men, men who do the right thing. After futzing around on these boards for a couple of years now, I can tell you who those are likely to be, here, too.

Your last line leads me to believe you're confusing me with someone else. I would never make that assumption, and I would have to ask you to show me where I've said anything to indicate that I would. I do know when someone is trolling me by PM, though. There's one person here who makes a hobby of doing that to women who disagree with him. He does it to be obnoxious and to get attention, not to hit on people. He's also too cowardly to take on the men here who disagree with him. Ninety-nine times out of 100, when he starts his little "debates," it's with women, even though men here will say exactly what the women say. Rarely does he bother a man that way, which tells me he has an axe to grind with women and not a point to make in general.
That said, I can point you to the ones who have never had a girlfriend or boyfriend because they've said as much themselves. Others make it painfully clear with the questions they ask.

Actually, my last two paragraphs weren't about you at all. I apologize for giving that impression.
Boy, have times changed. I never expected...or allowed...anyone to pay for the meal, or anything else, on the first date or the 25th date... there is such a lack of chivalry in the world anymore...it's really sad this has to be an issue for women these days.

Well - I hope it wasn't about me, either! I never thought he was hitting on me! And I don't mind debating people out in the open on the forum - it's the PM's that I won't partake in anymore by someone who is just trying to get a rise out of me.

will repeat myself and say again: everyone is going off of their own experiences.
