[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 35, actively dating, and increasingly these days find that men don't pick up the check, at least men you meet online. There are exceptions, particularly men I've dated from European backgrounds, or aged 40+, but it seems that splitting the check, or at least alternating paying, is becoming the norm. I've always offered to split, but generally men accept it now, whereas they didn't 5 or 10 years ago. [/quote]

90% of the men I've dated have been under 35, many under 30 (50%). Never split a bill or had a man expect that I pay. I also have never offered to split. Similar to another guy on this thread, I might pay once in awhile, invite the guy over for dinner, or share tickets I have and he doesn't have to pay (though he might still spring for a meal). But this probably amounts to 20% over the course of my life. I haven't actually paid for a date in years and I was in a relationship then. Perhaps its also the income disparity. I make well under 80K and most guys have had higher earnings, plus I'm a mom. My Big Law friend has had a different experience.[/quote]
