Single Women Refuse to Pay On a Date!
Men know women are operating from a double standard when it comes to money. And they don’t like it. In fact, they’re really getting tired of it. A lot of them want to know why it’s okay for women to earn their own money but still expect the men to foot the bill when they go out on a date.
Chad, a thirty-nine year old car dealer from Marietta, Georgia, says he’s getting tired of being seen as a cash register. “I’m beginning to believe that women think anybody with a penis in their pants is automatically supposed to be their personal bank. I was on a date with a woman who I know makes at least seventy grand a year, and she asked me how much money I make. She told me she wanted me to take her to a Falcons game one night and to an upscale restaurant and dancing another. I got the real feeling she just thinks since I’m a guy I’m paying for her fun tickets, and she wanted to make sure I had the amount of scratch she required.”
Why are men still expected to pay? That kind of thinking is as archaic as the thought that women shouldn’t work outside the home. Yet when I asked one hundred single women who should pay when on a date, every one of them told me that the men should pay. And when I asked them why, every single one of them gave the same answer. They all said it is tradition, that that’s the way it’s supposed to be. Well, if we’re going to fall back on tradition, women should stay in the home and out of the workplace. After all, isn’t that the way it’s supposed to be?
A lot of men say they want to pay when they’re on a date. They think it’s the “manly” thing to do, or that it is a showing of respect. And many of them still believe in the quid pro quo approach, that they’re exchanging dinner and the date for a spot of heavy breathing a little later with a mate. Chivalry and carnal lust notwithstanding, are the girls pulling a fast one on the guys? Why aren’t single women just as concerned about achieving equality regarding spending money as they are about earning it?
What do you think? Who should pay on a date, and why?

I for one do not mind paying for the cost of a date provided my date IS a woman. I’m far more interested in a feminine woman who is not afraid to look and act like a female. Furthermore, all she has to do is show some interest in me, instead of waiting until I make all the moves. Clothing, makeup, behavior, holding my arm when we’re walking, little kisses for nothing from time to time… it all adds up. The woman I’m interested in is the woman who is interested in me. wr
