[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are GF's that pay 1/2 or a little less than 1/2 and there are GF's who pay nothing or close to nothing.

Neither is right or wrong but it does indicate if they want to be an equal partner or not. My sons want equal partners, so they won't date someone who expects a free ride all the time. Of course, [b]the 1st few dates they pay 100%[/b]. But once you are dating it's an equal partnership.

That's not the right way per se, it's what they want in life.

Dating is about figuring out if you have the same value system. It's really up to your son to determine his values and find someone who shares those values.[/quote]

Not my sons.  They say it depends on who asked the other out.  They are also looking for equal partners.[/quote]

So if your sons get paid more than it is 50-50?  When do women get an equal partner?  Because [b]studies show men get all the benefits and women don't.[/b]  Married men and single women are the happiest.[/quote]

This really only comes into play after marriage.  By then of the man is earning more the women should take on more at home.  If the roles are flipped then they are reversed.  The couple needs to determine what works for them.  DH and I are approximately equal earners at ~400k/each.  We have different but equitable tasks that were discussed and work for us.  We outsource things that matter less, like yard work, cleaning, etc.  It's an evergreen discussion and balance. My girls see this and will likely end up with someone like PPs son, also like my husband, father, and brother.[/quote]
