I am curious after the 1,000,000,000 who pays thread. Has anyone actually had a guy whine about money?

Like you went out with this guy and all through dinner he kept talking about how expensive dating is? After dinner while paying the check did he say well since you didn't pay part of this I am expecting you to put out? Well I hope you aren't a gold digger and will be paying half this bill? Jeez you sure eat a lot do you expect me to subsidize you?

The only time I have ever heard a guy complain about paying the bill is here. It seems in part spurred on by women coming on with deal breakers that she offered to pay half and O!M!G! he accepted.

Out there, in the wild, I think most women appreciate that the guy pays and actually see that as a good thing. I think most guys accept that role in the first few dates and then as the relationship progresses they adapt. I guess what I am saying is this doesn't seem to be a problem until you get here and start assigning meaning to why one pays and others don't.

Just saying.....

Since I choose to date only those woman who take care of themselves and are happy living within their means, this subject has never appeared. I usually pay at first, we both pay sooner or later and life is good.

From my experience, guys do not whine about money... and I wouldn't date a guy who would.

In fact, I would say it is just the opposite. Many of the guys that I have communicated with have come right out and said how much they love my views on gender roles, and that they really appreciate me being straightforward with how I see things. LOVE is the word they used in describing my views.

Too many guys these days have to be afraid of opening a door, picking up a tab or walking a girl to their car, in an effort of not thinking the woman is "equal" in the relationship. I don't have to play the same role as the man to be equal. We all have our positive attributes. It's more about finding a guy who appreciate the attributes you offer, versus what you expect in return. If there is balance there... all is good.

Let me join in with the other guys that loved your views. Men and women are different for a reason, and there strength comes in different ways. When I date someone, I want to date a woman. With the girl I've been dating I've paid for everything so far. I go out of my way to do the things like opening doors for her and stuff like that. I don't question a penny I've spent because I know how much she appreciates it and we just had so much fun together.

I am starting to think there is no real problem here. We just like to debate and this happens to be a subject that gets everyone's knickers in a twist.

Oh I hate! when a guy opens the car door for me. I am more than happy to nicely tell any guy who would do such a thing my feelings on the subject. It just takes too long for him to walk around the car. Now if he were to slide over the hood perhaps the laugh would make up for the lost time.

I am so going to try that. I'll let you all know how many bones I end up breaking.

No, guys don't whine about money. Again, this is in Europe and we are used to going Dutch.

Only once have I had someone grumble (he said I could have bought a plane ticket for that kind of money) about me paying the bill. I invited my ex-bf (American) to one of the best restaurants in the UK and I paid the bill which came to $600. Damn, it was a good meal and the finest of wines. And yes, he did put out!

I would certainly complain and butch if I felt on a date and she knew I would pay so she decide to go for the most expensive items on the menu without any consideratiom for.

There is a limit to me paying for a date.
