[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am completely turned off by men who refuse to let women pay. I am not a child or a pet. I don't need someone to buy me my food or pay for my activities or look after my basic needs.

I don't care if he pays sometimes as long as he is perfectly fine with me paying sometimes too and any trips or bigger expenses are split.

I am an independent adult. Not looking to be dependent on another person, nor do I want a traditional gender role marriage, nor do I want a marriage based on inequitable views and actions.

I am also not interested in a man who wants me to take care of him, have him as my dependent, or have me do basic adult tasks for him. [/quote]

Jesus H. How about just learn his/her values and decide you are a fit instead of these arbitrary rules (if he pays, he's treating me like a child)? It's different for every person. And it may not be your choice/preference and that's fine. But doesn't mean he is trying to "take care of you" and you paying is not emasculating.

I swear, I don't know how most of you function in society and relationships. [/quote]

DP, and I don’t see how people think it’s fine for one person to pay (or do anything else) for both of you all the time.

But then, I could never use “emasculating” unironically [/quote]
