Of course, it wouldn't be a big deal to a woman, they're typically not the ones forced to pay.
I may disagree with some of the women (and men) on this forum sometimes but I am completely against violence against women. The men including the one you named who do that stuff are scum to me.
I didn't say anything regarding the frequency of it. I'm commenting on it being such an absurd concept to believe. And when someone says they shouldn't worry about it, because what they have (or don't have) isn't worth taking, that's dictating.
Either way, it's all relative to the individual and their experiences.
You tell him to lighten up after your snippy, rude post? You know, "you aren't that special"?
Boy, that's funny.
It wasn't meant to be rude. I didn't mean he wasn't special as a person I meant he wasn't a billionaire rock star (I assume he's not) and gold digging women aren't waiting in the wings to take advantage of him. I can see why a professional athlete or a big name actor might think women are after them for their money but I really don't think the average guy has tons of women trying to use them for a free meal.

Do you think there are women who would go out with an average man if he paid for dinner, that they wouldn't go out with if he didn't?
Because I'm willing to bet majority of these guys are asking the girl out on the date in the first place. I have no problems taking turns paying when it comes to dates, but to act petty and be so calculative is just a turn off to me. Some of you guys act as if the girl has to earn the meal. Jesus lol

I'd imagine this is part of the reason that many guys complain.
They're expected to put themselves out first emotionally (by facing a possible rejection) and then financially (even if it's only $20).

Stop that.
Mainly because people can be both at the same time.
