I hate Morocco!

Edit: I believe I said last night in another thread that if I ever claim to be classy or high-minded, I should be corrected immediately. ^Case in point.^
That was meant for one of a cluster of threads entitled "Why do you hate (country X)."
Apologies to all who were trying to engage in sociological discourse.

I dunno, I recken plenty of the females that have commented so far wouldn't mind splitting the billKurokami said:
As a girl, I'm always willing to pay. If the guy wants to pay for everything, I usually let him, but I never go somewhere where I wouldn't be willing to pay my share.lovetropicana said:
Oh, and as far as taking turns, that usually only happens with friends or boy/girlfriends I've been on several dates with, since I it can be reasonably determined that over time the various meals will balance out.
I usually insist on paying, but don't be a dick about it.
On that note thinking back the most enjoyable dates I've actually had actually ended up turning out dutch.

What do you mean it's his job? A woman is just as capable for paying for the date as the guy. I'd like to think we've grown past these arbitrary gender roles.SvenBTB said:
Why can't the girl leave a good feeling in the guy instead?sylekage said:
Whoever askes the other person on the date should pay, regardless of whether they are male or female. If you ask someone out and expect them to pay, it just comes across as if you were trying to get a free meal. This whole "the guy should always pay for the first date" is complete crap. We need to be wooed as well, you know; guy's don't exist purely to acommodate women in the relationship.
In my opinion, whoever asks the other person out. It's stupid to ask someone out and expect that person to pay for both of you. That, or go dutch.
It relates back to sacrifice.
Guy's would go out and hunt and thus demonstrate they can provide, which would make them ideal mates.
Can't exactly hunt anymore, for the most part, so it's about how much money you can throw around. Demonstration of your ability to provide.
Of course with rising incomes and greater equality this becomes a moot point. Maybe.

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:
