Couldn’t Women At Least Offer To Pay Sometimes?
Why aren’t women just as concerned about achieving equality regarding spending their money as they are about earning it? Guys know the long-established gender role of women not earning money has changed. In fact, not only do women earn, among those who earn six-figures per year, seventy percent of them earn more money than their husbands or boyfriends. So why don’t they ante up when they’re out on a date?
Men know women are earning money, yet most men actually still want to pay. So why hasn’t this particular gender role pulled a one-eighty like so many other ones have? While sex type is genetic, we’re born either male or female, gender roles are learned. And speaking of education, that particular stereotype has changed too. Today women make up fifty-seven percent of undergraduate students in colleges and universities in the United States, and that statistic jumps to fifty-nine percent in graduate schools. So while women are better educated than ever, and earning more money than ever, why don’t they ever fork over some scratch to help out?
Men really wish women would at least offer to pay sometimes, even if only every fifth or tenth time out with a guy would be nice. But al least make the gesture. It sends a message to men that they are appreciated for their generosity and that women respect the investment the guys are making. If women paid for every date, every tropical vacation together, and the many items purchased from the mall when they went shopping with their man for just one year, they’d see how many thousands, often tens of thousands, it really costs. And it could have a positive effect on a girl’s sex life too! A girl may get to first base quickly if she pays once in a while, and she’ll hit a grand slam home run if she just offers every now and then.
