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.
And thats all that matters. By the way, the fact that he makes less than you is irrelevant. A man that has his mind made up to include you in his future doesnt worry about trivial stuff like that.
And people wonder why I advocate splitting the bill. It is to prevent these kinds of jerks thinking they can get a free f++k.
Lol, U Mad. You misread. I am stating the fact that its acceptable for a man to pay for a meal he did not eat, while on the other hand its not acceptable for the man to expect sex after spending his money on a gold digger.

In layman's terms, double standards.
No double standard exists other than the one in your mind. Really. If I buy you dinner, you think I am going to expect sex? Or, ANYTHING? Seriously?
In the car. All the way back home. With music and I get to stick my arm out the window like I was 10 again.
