as a very young 45 yr man i was brought up with double standard momma taught the man alawys pays, and puls the chair out,and opens doors
daddy alawy taught all that plus he added if a guy wants to play he has to pay,pay pay  
That was fine and dandy for 1980... but now that women give it up for nothing there is really no reason for a man to pay for the date any more.
Give it up for nothing?  NOT ME!!!!!
Good Luck with the girls evileddy, you will need it!
Give it up for nothing ? Now you sound like a wh*re and all we have to do is haggle over price.

I think if a man is interested enough to ask a lady out he should pick up the expenses for the date. If the lady asked the man out the circumstances may change a bit but he should still pay for dinner. Then it may need some discussion to decide what the arrangements are before getting there. I have had a few ladies who said they felt offended when their date paid the bill and the best I could do with them was split the bill.

I think they who do the asking should do the paying. the one woman who asked me out insisted on paying since she was the one doing the asking.
It made sense to me. I try to be liberal on some views.

When women fought for equality, it was for equal pay, and still today, 80% of women employed doing the same type of work, make less than men. We fought for more respect and equality, because a great number of us were single mothers raising children on less than a single man took home.
Young gentleman, Almost every woman you date will marry at some point and raise a family. They will cook the food, raise the children, keep house and keep the family organized with appointments, outings and schooling, etc. etc; And more than likely they will hold a job on top of it all. Just look at every date as a future bride and TREAT her, because you wouldn't want your future bride to pay for someone else's dinner.

The tricky part is how to implement this plan without sounding cheap and possibly losing the chance to even meet the other person. So meeting just for “coffee” on the first date/meeting is a viable solution because nobody gets stuck for an extravagant amount.

Oh, I agree totally. I've read countless number of online articles which all go along the same point of view. Doesn't matter how much he makes, regardess if it's $20,000 or $200,000 or $2,000,000. Doesn't have to be an expensive place either. I took a person on a date one time, and ended up going to this one place. Found out the whole order ended up 25% less, which was a win-win situation.

I think if the man asks you out on a date, he should pay for it.

As an old fashioned romantic there is no choice for me, the man needs to pay. The only time I would allow a woman to pay was if the relationship has established for some time and it was a special event like my birthday or something similiar. In all other circumstances there is no excuse for the woman to pay.
