Do you want to date a woman that starves and lives in a pig pen? I don't. Most of us cook and clean our apartments... we don't want to live in filth.
I want a woman who is not looking for entitlements and simply wants to get together, have a good time, and if things work out consider a relationship. A woman like that won't care who pays, who calls first, who makes the plan, who drives, etc. She will simply be there to enjoy each other's company. I am lucky to be with a woman like that .
I guess it also shows that a girl is not into a guy if she never pays or does this only apply to men?
Of course it doesn't apply to only men. I know if I like a guy and am into him I want to do things for him (and that includes taking him out and treating him to a date). If he's the type that won't let me pay (and that type is out there) then I do other things... like cooking for him, cleaning for him, get him a special surprise, etc. I also find that the type that won't let you pay, tend not to complain if you buy something ahead of time and treat him (like concert tickets).

No idea what this has to do with them cooking and cleaning their apartments.
Absolutely. If a man has no money, but is romantic and awesome, the lack of money doesn't matter.
It wouldn't matter because you would be the one paying for his meals, drinks, and other expenses because that would show you are interested in him, right? I mean, you have said that is what shows that a guy is interested in you and I can imagine this thought of yours applies to both genders. That is, unless you support sexism.

Oldest thing in the book. That is how women even in the 50s "paid" for dates. They baked things, or, "Oh, I was given tickets to the _____ concert this Saturday, would you like to escort me?" Wink wink, nudge nudge. The same things occur today, just the manner changes a little.
Right but I mean, did she take his bank card and steal his money? Did she take out life insurance on him and try to kill him? What did she do?

But it does give me a dose of reality. Me personally, I don't think its anything wrong with being careful, but still wanting to impress a date by buying nice things. The fact that I see some scam artists in my area...I blame that on my location, not the female gender.
I'm going to take a wild guess here that your attitude, and not money, is the problem with you finding a woman.
