Well, it's all dependent on the type of date. If me and my swooning love are going out for a nice romantic evening and I'm all but expecting for our clothing to litter whatever room we end up deciding on, then I'm more likely going to pay for the food, gas, parking, and entertainment. Because a good wank just doesn't have the same feeling and prostitutes are more expensive if only by a little.
But if it's a casual date with a friend or a group outing to a restaurant before heading off to the movies, then everyone pays for themselves; unless it's arranged beforehand because someone is broke this week.
Honestly though, and like most of you, I don't see why it's come to be expected that men pay. It's outdated to think that women can't fend for themselves. Most of my female friends look at me like I'm crazy when I offer to pay for them anyways, so yeah, that's that.

Ahh... I was referring to women who insist on being feminist yet still want the guy to be a gentleman(not equal treatment->not feminism). So basically once you pay she lose all rights to qq about equal rightsXDlovetropicana said:how does it prevent anything? If she was going to be a nasty i-have-teeth-in-my-genitals type paying for her dinner won't stop her (or you might get to the check and find out she already paid), I'm sure genuinely nice females wouldn't treat you differently if you paid or didnt payjonyboy13 said:
Just the two of us, usually me. Sometimes she says she's paying and I won't debate the point (she'll also end up with a better job in the long run so I'm getting ahead now.)
If it's an outing with other people we'll pay for ourselves.

Depends. Are you "taking the person out?" You pay. Or are you just going out together? Figure out a way to split the costs.
If some guy insists on paying out of some misguided sense of chivalry, whatever, your choice. If some chick *expects* to be pampered as such simply because she thinks her vagina entitles her to something, she can go to hell.

Pretty much. It depends a lot on the particular circumstances - if a guy is dating a much higher-earning girl, she can pay.Dark Knifer said:
If they're just friends, split it.
But once you're out of college and all working, "split it" means exactly that. Pulling out the calculators is petty and demeaning - just each pay half (or a quarter if there are 4 of you, etc) and call it a day.
Wow, guys! Isn't heteronormativity great?
The person who does the asking out should pay. That, to me, seems like the fairest arrangement.

Well in my case I pay for the dinner but my girlfriend always ends up paying me half back (she doesn't like it when other people pay for her) so way I see it depends on the couple although I haven't heard of girl paying for guy anyone ever have that happen?
Whoever is in the better position money wise or split the cost/pay for yourself. Never got why guys are suppose to pay for the girls. I hate it when people pay for stuff for me. It's sweet but I don't like it. If I have cash I should pay for myself. I don't need someone else to pay or me. Perhaps it?s a tradition left over from when woman didn't have money earning jobs?
I've made myself a man of high caliber so I'd wind of paying for food and such. Unless she insists on paying.
I like whoever said if you want to go out to eat you pay. But that wouldn't be till the relationships steady.
