[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t date a man who insisted on paying. Major red flag. I want someone who sees me as an equal not as his dependent to take care of. I am also not going to be a traditional gender role wife making sure the house is spotless and he has a home cooked meal so I don’t want someone with traditional gender roles. Women are capable and competent adults and I don’t need a man to pay for my life. I don’t really have any respect for men who see women as children, needing to be looked after and taken care of and helped with basic adult tasks like buying a meal.

I don’t care at all about exact 50/50 or have any need to split, it should just be that neither cares who pays that time.[/quote]

It’s not that man should insist on paying - he shouldn’t care. In fact after a year of dating there should be a joint account for joint expenses where both contribute pro-rata their incomes. The fact he’s unable to discuss it in adult way and behaves like a douche shows how he handles budgeting, conflict etc in a relationship

And men and women are not truly equal. Women bear the burden and tax of childbirth and care. Men are not going to carry abc breastfeed babies for you. If a woman has 3 kids, it’s at a minimum 6 active years in labor force put on pause !

Yes, there are career women who make more than men. But women with kids usually don’t. [/quote]
