Should a man pay?

    I'm watching the early show and "female dating expert" is saying absolutley even if you make more money. It's emasculating for you to grab the check! The women on the street say; the man should ask the woman on the date and he should pay.

    Totally wrong in my book! I love when women take me out and pay or ask me out. It doesn't bother me a bit! Maybe I will provide transportation and they will pay. The next time I will pay and vice versa. It shows they respect me and don't want a free ride.

    The whole "romance" thing is BS in my opinion. You should go as friends (equal) then if you want to hang out futher then the man can be romantic if he so chooses.

    Not to be crude but a woman needs to bring something to the table besides just the fact she was born female. She better have something of value to the man as well.

    Is that wrong?

    I think the man should offer to pay, and if they woman wants to pay her share he should let her. The woman should offer to pay her share if she asked him out on the date or if they were set up by friends.

    Why do you assume you should pay because she is a woman?

    :confused:

    In my opinion both are equal and man don't have to pay all the time.
    MAN IS NOT A BANK :)

    Well, since ages,we have borrowed this concept of letting the man pay always. In my opinion, we must also appreciate her feelings too.Its not necessary to be one up always. Give her a chance too.

    I think it depends on who is taking who out.

    If the guy is taking the girl out - he should pay. If the girl is taking the guy out - she should pay. If you're just going out together then either split the bill or take turns paying.

    I think that whole guy should pay thing came about because in the past women didn't really have jobs so they didn't have the money to pay.
