Maybe I'm unusual here, but when I started seeing my fiance I would avoid going out to eat so that he wouldn't feel a silly obligation, I would ignore hunger if I didn't have money, and if it did get to a point (which we would occasionally hang out for several several hours), I would get something very small. He insisted on paying even that and it made me feel uncomfortable. So certainly when I say I don't think men should have to pay, I'm not lying. I just hope you're not automatically going to see my comment as guilty until proven innocent, just because I'm a woman.
Men are obviously not going to say "want to split half?", because they'll feel like they let the female down and that they expected the man to pay, so he'll pay for it all. The woman should say "I'll pay for half", because that shows the male that she doesn't mind and would prefer it that way, where as if he was to ask, she would most likely pay half but it could come off as "Oh my God, he made me pay half" in her head, if that makes sense.
Women should be the ones saying "I'll pay half", the males shouldn't have to ask.
Some women do pay half, but let's be honest, if someone can get a free meal, they would most likely jump at the chance. There was a woman on the news that actually dated guys just to be taken out for meals without paying. She said that it's cheaper for her, and that she'll go out nearly every day with different men just to get a free meal...
I totally agree too many women are like that, I'm just saying maybe you could give a woman the benefit of a doubt upon first noticing her. A majority of women are free-loaders when the opportunity arises, but you shouldn't assume one individual as such until proven so. Unless you don't assume things about an individual upon first meet and I'm misreading.
That lady from the news is a disgrace.
Do girls want guys to pay for dinner or don't they?
