Should Men Always -- Or Even Usually -- Pay For Dates?

[MikelArteta]

Pay for the first date...unless it's terrible and you don't care whether you see her again or not. After that, I think it can go either way...or dutch. But, at least put your best foot forward and pay for the first date (take her out somewhere that won't break the bank).

and get a hug and a you seem like a great guy text but.....

I'm not gonna reinforce the patriarchy by paying for a modern empowered woman's meal

My wife paid for our first several dates. One of the reasons why she's "wife" now.

nikkaz wont even spend 50 bucks on a birthdya gift for mommy or grandma, but will hand over that cash fora chick who doesn't even care about em and has 3 other dates lined up that week

That's the sad thing, breh.

nikkas will not even treat their parents to a nice dinner, but will spend a bunch of money on some chick he barely knows.

It's all fun and games until your name shows up on a bytch phone as "free food"

Be "chivalrous" brehs

@ "free food"

If I'm asking her out, then yeah Imma pay

 

[mamba]

A women better at least be cooking a meal for you if she's not paying.

But, is she ever asking you out, breh? That's the question.

Sometimes. But at that I pay unless it's something big like tickets to a show or something.

Starbucks is cheap.
Or maybe not take these chicks to 5stars restaurants to try to impress them.

Women should tip

Sometimes that happens. You're not going to be desirable to everyone and that's what dating is about...to narrow it down and find someone who is that great person you see yourself with.

I'm going to pull out a bullshyt analogy that you males seem to love. If I invite you to a party at my house I don't expect you to bring food drinks, etc. It's the same for a date. If YOU ask someone to go somewhere then YOU pay. If they ask you then YOU pay, and THAT is equality.

 

[Desirous]

I wanna take you out, just pay the tip... You down? Lol

Nope. Not single.

I don't like that "you take care of the tip" bullshyt. Who cares? I don't even like tipping, but I do it because it's customary here. If you want to treat me, then do it. I'll appreciate it. If you don't want to, then whatever...I make more than enough to look after my bill. That's corny to me.

It's cool to bring your man lunch at his workplace...just because....or if he's having a shytty day/week, treat him to a nice night out to lift his spirits up. It's not about the money, it's about doing something nice for someone just because it makes them smile.
