Dinner Date - Who Pays? Free Dating, Singles and Personals | Thread profile

Now, that's coming from a 'woman' who wrote a 250 page book on the subject. Mind you, I had to do a lot of surveys, questionaires, and communications with a tremendous amount of both women and men (approximately 1000 of both sexes). So, take it whatever way you will, but it looks like the women have spoken! ;) I've been on these forums a very long time & I find that every time a "Who pays" topic comes out at...

Once again, thank you from coming down from your mountain to set all of us straight! Your ability to insult others is remarkable! Money well spent! Tax dollars well spent! Seems like tit for tat to me. I didn't hear a whole lot of desire to understand or support me in making my case from either of you guys. Live by ridicule, die by ridicule? It is _so_ easy to play hero when one knows that doing so will surely please the ladies. And that...

Actually a "militant feminist" would be the one most apt to insist on separate checks. I usually get separate cheques, but if the man wants to pay and I want him to I easily concede lol. So.....if I often ask for separate cheques, what does that make me if I'm not a feminist? I think it might have to do with the way I was brought up and the way I have had to fend for myself for many years? That still doesn't change the...

BYYY This last post of yours is so spot on! The only thing I'd change in your scenario is that as a woman, I'd be the one packing the special picnic lunch. You can bring the wine, though. Red please.

So, guys, expect to pay for those first few dates. Fine if a woman doesnt mind coffeee on all three. IF there's no contribution by the second date I'm out. You can figure out how giving a person is in this little time. You should have seen the waiter's face when I ask for separate bills! Waiters like this don't get tips.

If people would read the original post...the guy asked her out to an expensive restaurant and then decided he would really like for her to pay half..please!!!!

I am glad it worked out for you! I still think you should have taken the check and insisted you pay, but it worked out for you and that is all that matters. Just a side note: When I have offered to pay my half, the men do not pause and make an "errrrr' noise. They immediately insist and say no, you are not paying for dinner. So, if a man paused and did not give me a quick insistance he pay....I'd most definitely pay. The...

veryreal1, Thanks for all your wisdom. What would we all do without your college educated highness? It was a text book example of insulting everybody who doesn't share your point of view. Did they teach you this in college? Or is it a natural skill? I am really impressed, one way or another.

Look, fellas...it's really easy to understand and I'll say it simply so that you can. If you don't want to pay for meals, be chivalrous, etc., just anticipate that MOST women will NOT date you again! The ones who do date you, usually won't do it for too long, or...you will remain within the 'friend status' position! Now, that's coming from a 'woman' who wrote a 250 page book on the subject. Mind...

Dude, I myself have answered your question exhaustively , and at least twice, in this thread alone, as well as in multiple other threads. I'm not doing it again. Cheeses! Vulf
