Is that a joke or are you serious? That won't settle pretty with the women
Sure it won't settle. . BUT. . the purpose of this thread is to hear WHY from the male viewpoint, per what is stated in the original post...this thread is intended to not be confused with the "who pays" thread.
So again - leaving chivalry and tradition out of it. . .
Do you feel you OWE a woman for getting all dolled up for you? Whether or not you are the sort to pay or not, that is irrelevant - do you feel you OWE her? When you see a woman say that you best be paying because SHE got ready for YOU. . how does that really make you feel?
I would typically pay anyway, but not because I feel I owe her. I'm just sort of old school that way.The man pays.
That's what they are counting on many/most of the time at least in my "neck of the woods".
I was taught "old school" and in my heart want to be that way, but many to most females today "are independent" and "equal" to Men thanks to feminism - so let them have at it that way.
Appreciate the honesty, dude It's a brave thing to say publicly.

Since I am past the dating scene, I'll have to respond hypothetically based on my tendencies.
I said "No" because, the woman is a nobody at first meet. It's a casual person in society I just decided to meet. But I would still pay for the whole deal, not because I owe her since she got all ready and dressed and graced me with her presence , just coz it's social etiquette and the best form of camaraderie.
I went into the date casually and haphazardly dressed coz at that time, I had no idea of dating etiquette. It wasn't an executive meeting to get dressed up , in my mind.
Besides, I didn't feel the need to impress coz we worked in the same building and saw each other every day, my talking and corridor/elevator hitting.
If I ever go dating again, hopefully not , I'll dress okay, I'll pay but I won't go out of the way to make her feel that I owe her my life

I don't feel I owe anyone anything,but I would DIE of embarassment to let a woman pay for my meal.
Hell,my buddies and I argue about who gets to pay for the lunch tab as is and I ain't even dating those retards......I guess that's just the way we were raised.
