[quote=Anonymous]What a fascinating subject.  I'm a guy and it's so interesting to me how some of the gender roles came to be.  I like it that even now, especially here in DC, when so many women are well-paid, have a lot of responsibility in their careers, etc, they still revert to the normal gender roles.  Men like that.  We want to have the power and be able to take care of women.  It's not showing off or trying to impress you with throwing money around.  It's just in our DNA to be the protectors and providers.  We still respect you as women.

I dated a physician for a while, and it totally made me uncomfortable how many dates she tried to pay for.  She let me pay for the first one, but I'd say about half after that.  It really threw me off and even emasculated me.  In addition, she wanted to pick me in her car a couple of times.  It was so awkward for me that it never would've worked out.  In the past I had always paid and always driven.  It's just what the man does in my mind.

It's hard because while I am attracted to women of power and career-focused,  you have to let go of some of that in order to let the man lead. [/quote]
