Do you find it alluring if a man orders for you at a restaurant?

No, I would find it very odd if a man ordered for me unless I asked him to.

Translation: I learned the guy wasn't rich, so I seized on a dubious reason to not like him.

This entirely depends!

Outback Steakhouse = no way, weirdo.

Chic French restaurant and I've never been, know nothing about French cuisine = order away.

Once I dated this guy and we went to the same fancy restaurant twice. The first time I ordered myself. The second time he blew me away when he said he was going to order the same dish for both of us and it wasn't a dish I particularly liked. I let him do it but spent the rest of the evening stewing about it and found out weeks later he was seeing these other women on the side and it was all just a control game for him.

Translation: I slept with a rich player and then he ghosted me.

God no. So presumptuous & belittling. I would hate it, u less it is my husband of many years who knows what I like & I’m in the bathroom or something.
If I’m sitting right there? I find it rude & sexist. I have a voice, relax over there.

Question for the women who said they would like the man ordering, do you find that you prefer for male/female gender roles in general? Absolutely no judgement from me, I'm just curious if it falls in line with that.

I like my husband ordering. I wouldn’t say that I prefer male/female gender roles in general. Someone mentioned a male co-worker ordering for her, and that’s completely inappropriate. But I do prefer male/female gender roles in the context of my romantic relationship with my spouse.

Do you tell him what you want or does he just order what he thinks you want or what he wants to get for you?

Yuck. No!

Only if it was 1910.

I would find it absolutely rude in the current times we are living in today if a man, even if he were my spouse ordered for me.

By ordering do we mean ordering like you would for a kid after they told you they wanted chicken tenders or ordering for you and picking out what you eat? To me it makes a difference

I tell him what I want. We normally talk about what we are going to order when we are looking at the menu and deciding. I do this with my friends, kids, and coworkers too. I thought everyone did this.

People have done this before if they are paying for the meal or if one person is handling the group check and they are ordering appetizers or something. I don't think that is over the top. It's weird when you sit down with someone whether a friend or significant other and they decide the food for the entire table themselves.
