My female friend just told me that MEN are always expected to pay regardless if they want to see her for a second date or not.


Of course I don't agree with that

Your female friend thinks she's a princess and is entitled to that. Don't listen to her, problem solved.

I told her the only time I pay is if I get to the date and like what I see. If I get there and she doesn't look like her photo then I;m going home.

I mean if I;m going to spend money on someone shouldn't I feel that she is looking for to meeting me rather than just going out because it's just something to do?


I will not call or text her tomorrow if I hear nothing tonight. I;m already in the process of making other plans.


Guys what do you think of this?
Men are still expected to pay for 1st date's? What is this the 1950's! What's next, do people want women to be pregnant and barefoot making food in the kitchen for her man!

Women are liberated and it's sexist for a man to pay on the 1st date, at least go dutch.

Ok I am old fashioned. I like for the guy to pay. And I have a good income on my own. I can afford to pay for myself.

But you can make the first date super cheap. Doesn't bother me at all. Even if we are talking coffee or ice cream. It is really the gesture that is important.

There is no need to have an expensive first date, especially it is someone you have never met. Keep it cheap and simple.

Subsequent dates? Let's go dutch or alternate.

Maybe its just me but I usually never pay an entire date. To me its 50/50. If I date you you are my equal. I do not care if you think this is not '' Gentleman ''. We both consume (food, wine, whatever) and we are both there to have fun. I do not see why the guy should be paying for the date. I never had a girl tell me I was stupid for not paying. Usually they respond quite well and they don't care about paying 50/50.

This "female friend" of yours, might be giving you misinformation.

I'm sorta old school. A woman is never gonna pay on the first date. It's just how I roll son.

If we've been seeing each other for a while, then that's a different story.

Your post sound reasonable to me.
