I thought chivalry was dead.

Isn't that what you ladies wanted?

In my opinion whoever asks as they are considered the 'host'.

I haven't seen a knight around for awhile, so I'm pretty sure the term is outdated.

It's what some gals want. It's not what some gals want. Do tell why do you seem to be under the impression that gals in general want this?

Are you kidding me? I wear a full suit of armor while I am on the forums. I hold the visor up with a bungee cord

LOL Once I figured out to stop initiating new threads I'm doing fine here! Armor is no longer necessary for me!

The first half of the opening sentence makes the second half completely meaningless.

This mofo subject needs to get sticky'ed to the top with a bold no more threads like this.

In this day and age, who ever asked should do the paying.... probably the safest "PC" way to approach the subject.

I have my own thoughts, but I've expressed them about a billion times already....

Are we supposed to respond with who DOES pay, or who SHOULD pay?
