I've only met a couple of men who seemed to feel women should pay equally for dates. They were both nice men. Both were very frugal or maybe were testing to see if I was a gold digger. Other than that, I can't imagine that the other men would have been comfortable with me paying.


I'ma very feminine women who is thrilled with the differences between men and women. Iappreciate whengentlemen open doors for me too. I'm rarely disappointed on either count.
Exactly. That's the fun of dating, what makes it unique. It is a courtship. I like to feel appreciated just as I would make the man in my life feel appreciated.


I've said it over and over but I like a man who is gracious not just to me but everyone.That's class. And that has nothing to do with money and everything to do with confidence and respect.


aka I had a guy belittle a waiter in front of me. I mean, cursing and yelling at him kind of thing. I got up,apologized to the waiter, paid my half of the bill and left. The waiter stopped me on the way out and thanked me for treating him "like a human being".


That's not about being a cheap bastard, that's not about being a gold digger.


It's just grace and the world has run dry of it.

I suppose they shouldn’t hold jobs or vote or other vile man-things either?
Women should be what ever they wish and spend thier hard earned money however they wish. Good investments for women are: Homes, cars, Careers, education anything that furthers her as a person, not chasing men.



Who does a husband spend his money on ? His wife or other women and buddies? Do you want a potential husband or a buddy or player? Whether he pays for you is a great test for that

Women should never pay for dates! When a man cares for you as the woman of his dreams, he will not expect you to be a business partner in his dating career, freeing up his money to take out other women. His focus will be on YOU! Reciprocate in sweet ways, cook, bake or make something with a thank-you note, express that you had a wonderful time. Manners go a long way with the right guy. Show appreciation for him and his efforts. Be wise, creative and thoughtful, suggest things you know he will enjoy, are fun to do and easy on the wallet ! FRIENDS split the bill, if that's what you want, that will be what you get.
well, i can't cook, bake, knit or do needlepoint so i guess i'm SOL.

I view dimly a woman who can't attempt the basic domestic chores that I, as a ogar bachleor, can accomplish such as cooking, cleaning, sewing (to a functional degree), laundry, ironing etc...

well jeez.

i can feed myself and my house is clean, doesn't mean i love doing that kind of stuff, and if i can pay someone to do it for me i will.

i certainly can't cook well enough to make something for someone. who cares? i don't think it makes me a failure. well maybe a failure at being a housewife, which is fine. i have no problem failing at that.
