Very true but dating is like playing the lotto, unless you buy a ticket you will never have a chance to win.

I'll pay for a date with a woman, no problem. I mean that's a common courtesy and a gentleman thing to do. I'm not sure why any guy would be hostile either. Unfortunately dating is more of an investment for men than it is for women, who simply need to show up and be won over. That's why I don't really like dating, but if I do date, I generally pay. I guess that is the way I was raised.

I wonder if this is the result of online dating? It makes it so much easier for a guy to date multiple girls/week, if he wants, so that really ups the ante for him, even if they're cheap dates. Probably there's more of an expectation online for the traditional date arrangement, than there would be IRL.

I would pay sometimes, if he pays sometimes. But most men i have gone out with even as friends do not let me pay!!!! they make enough money not to worry about it.

Guys, dont put up with it.

From what I have seen men will turn a blind eye to almost any kind of behavior from an attractive woman more then they would from an uglier woman. If they don't want these 'princesses' or whatever they should stop going after looks only then, worry more about the motives. (not going to happen, just saying).

I'm not disagreeing with you. Just seems like some of these guys are more concerned to holding on to their money, then actually going on a date. Hey nothing wrong with it.
