Men have ROLES and just because you let them treat YOU like garbage doesn't mean other women will.
If you're dating women who don't mind paying for your date and theirs, then WHY are you trippin' off my post where I say I would NEVER put up with that nonsense?
Seriously. Continue to date those women and leave the rest of us ALONE. It's that simple. *shrugs shoulders*
Oh, boy. I can see the men coming in here to start the women bashing yet again, LOL.
My answer to men who say women should go dutch or pay in the first few dates is: "I am not your type." I respect everybody's opinions. If you are a woman and prefer to pay for your own food, go ahead. If you are a man and likes women to pay for their own food, please let them pay. Problem solved, both parties are happy.
BUT don't come in here to bash the women like Marilyn220 and DRGirl for wanting to date men who pick up the tab when THEY ask us out. Please people, live and let live!
If I ever dated a woman who made more than me I may reconsider my traditional male roll in picking up the tab. Until then I pay unless its my Birthday or something else comes up.
Now there are many instances where a woman picking up the tab is more understandable: Her working/Him in school. Her in a high paying industry/Him in a blue collar job.

LOL! I don't care. I'm just stunned at how someone PM'd me asking me what I thought my "role" was and then when I tell him, he comes back with some nonsense about how asian women love to pay for their own meals, and how they all have a "wonderful" time, etc., and I'm like "So??? What does this have to do with ME?"
I basically told him to leave me alone and stop wasting my time. Either he doesn't know what I'm talking about or he does, but he wants to pay stupid. Then he comes back with a retort that I'm "living off men". Now, where the hell did that come from?? Weirdos.

Exactly. To go on entire tangents bashing women who won't go for that "dutch" nonsense for a first DINNER DATE is ridiculous when clearly from reading on this forum there are PLENTY of women who do not have a problem with it. Stick with THOSE women.

LOLOL!!!! Man, I couldn't BELIEVE that two of my posts kept getting "referenced" as though it was a "bad" thing or something not understood in the dating world.
Clearly, the men with the problem are the LOSERS of the dating world and have been since high school and beyond. They haven't a freaking clue and THEY are the reasons why the online dating and matchmaking game was created.
I have never had a problem meeting men IRL and just like in REAL LIFE you have to "weed" out the ones who don't fit what you're looking for. In my case, I would never go out with them to begin with, so there would be no love lost.

You see, their problem stems from the fact that they DO know the majority of women are not their "type"!

I would never make you pay for your birthday. You wouldn't even have to pay on all subsequent dates after the FIRST one. I may pick up the tab on the second or third date or put my own in, but most definitely not the FIRST. Not now. Not ever.

Seeing a relationship (or potential relationship) in terms of compensation is sort of missing the point.
A breach that is caused by men and women alike.
Bitter men are fed up that the woman feels "entitled" to a free date. Bitter women are fed up that they are on a date with a cheap man. While first impressions are very important, making a large issue of it seems petty to me.
