I am sure this has been discussed to death...but I am interested in a man's perspective on this issue...

Right now I am dating someone, who makes less than me, when we go out, he picks where we go...and he pays for our dates. I however, have picked up the check a few times, recently when we went out with my kids, as I did not want him stuck with a large bill.

I also invite him over to my house for dinner, and send him home with leftovers.

This works for us, and we are both happy with this arrangement.

I don't mind picking up the bill once in awhile, or chipping in money for drinks. Especially if I know a man makes less than me.

I don't see a question here but it sounds like a perfectly normal arrangement.

Right, that is my question...

I just don't understand women who expect to be treated like Princesses, and a man to pay for everything, and not only that, but the "tone" I read on this forum is that women seem to just want to date men who are wealthy. I think that they are missing out with that perspective.

Lots of times, I prefer to go Dutch on dates, especially if it is with a man I don't know very well. For some reason some men have a mentality that they paid for a date, so they should get sex. That mentality is absolutely repugnant to me. I don't need anyone to buy me food, and I certianly don't need to be treated like a street walker.

Read the post in the link, and concentrate on the last sentence in the second paragraph. It's supposedly normal women that give some men the faulty impression.

Hmmmmm, this really does bother you doesn't it?

I really don't see why it should when there are PLENTY of women who are EXACTLY like what you want.
