[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I always went Dutch went we first dated, then alternated who paid as we were more established as a couple.  [b]All of my relationships were very egalitarian[/b].  Any man who wouldn't let me reciprocate a dinner or pay my fair share didn't last, so I guess we had different values.[/quote]

I'm with you.  I can't imagine "expecting" a man to pay for my stuff.  I've graciously accepted if they insisted on occasion, but I've also paid my way plenty of times.  I can't even imagine writing someone off just because he didn't pay for the entire date.  This is why some people think feminism is a joke.  If you are a strong, interdependent woman, you can certainly manage to pay for your own dinner.  [/quote]

I had a girlfriend like this.  She did not want to feel that a man was paying and then had some kind of expectation.  As time went on, I would pick up the tab for a night and then she would pick it up for the next occasion.
