Regarding my earlier post, I wish sometimes they wouldn't be so generous. There are times I don't order the dish I'd really like or the top shelf so that it doesn't cost them as much.

I'm just generous. I've done it with my guy friends too. I don't mind paying sometimes if it means we get to bring another friend along for some laughs and a good time.
I am talking about a man out with a few friends who are women but the man has no romantic connection with any of them. According to my GF, guys just pay the bill in the company of women regardless of whether they are romantically linked or not...that's just the expectation women have.
For instance when me and a work colleague went to a bar for drinks we split the check 50/50 but if that colleague happened to be a woman I would have to pickup the entire tab?
I have never heard of such a thing and I do not know where my GF got this idea from? What do you think?

Why not simply order what you feel like and contribute to the expenses?

I know because when I started working with certain companies some women thought it was something wrong with me because I never

I disagree (I'm a 60 year old woman), my daughter disagrees (almost 25) and my DIL disagrees (early 30s).
Now, groups of friends may take turns buying rounds or picking up the tab but the three of us would never expect someone to always pick up the tab just because he is male. If it was a situation where someone had a high paying job and the others were students perhaps the person with a good job could pick up a few more tabs but it wouldn't matter if they were male or female. And the others may do other things, bake cookies or home-cooked meals or something like that for them at another time.
In fact, in a work situation it may even be considered demeaning or insulting (depending on how it is handled) if the man in the group always paid the bill.
Let us know what happens when you discuss this with your GF. Ask her where she got this idea.
I pay for myself unless he offers to pay for it (which it's rarely unless we're super close).
