Hey, it's stereotypical gender reinforcement, but if you wanna get on base, you gotta play by the umpire's rules. Or you can wage a mini gender political war, not do anything minutely related to gender roles, and get that nice firm handshake after the date. That's almost better then the first date kiss. Except not really.
See, that bothers me with that attitude. Basically your action doesn't say "i pay for her because i'm feeling nice" but "i pay for her so she better puts out"
Am I the only one who thinks that's pretty insulting?
Also i can't understand the attitude "you asked her/him out, you pay"
Most people don't ask the partner if they want to have free stuff, they ask
if they want to hang out and enjoy each others company.
And if both parties had a good time they can also both pay.
Of course you can ask to pay for all of it, but it should only be a question,
never an expectation.
