[quote=Anonymous]I've done a lot of online dating over the past 5 years. When the bill comes, I usually ask if I can contribute. Some men will say yes, most men will say no, some men will ask me to leave the tip. If things progress to a second date and they paid the first time, I usually offer to pay the whole bill.

My preference, however, is for the man to pay for a couple reasons. First, I think it does show good manners and generosity. I admire both of those qualities in a man. Secondly, I'm a single mom with full custody and am usually paying a babysitter. Often my out of pocket expenses end up being larger than the dinner tab. Some men recognize this and insist that I not pay for dinner after paying for a babysitter. I appreciate this thoughtfulness. Third, it's just seems like the manly thing to do and I'm attracted to that. Yes, I care about equal rights, but I also believe in some sort of differences in the genders. Just as I appreciate a man who will help with things like taking out the garbage, cutting the grass, etc.

These are my preferences and I gravitate towards men who offer to pay most of the time. [/quote]
