[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are women really paying for dates? Why would you pay if he asked you out?[/quote]

I don’t know. For the same reason you pay for yourself when you go out with friends. Or is the carrot the possibility of sex and he has to pay in order to get that?[/quote]

If I invite a friend or my parent out, I absolutely pay . It’s the one who invites paying [/quote]

So you never invite a guy out? Even after you've been dating for a while? You always wait for him to invite you so that he pays?[/quote]

I alternate paying for dates, split all joint expenses pro-rate income after he asked and I agreed to be exclusive. Me sharing implies we are close enough to discuss budget for dates, travel etc and only date each other, not other people

I never pay for guys asking me out early in dating while both of us could be still seeing other people. Also, I never see any man beyond date 2 if I think he’s not a good fit. So I’m seeing only him, but don’t know yet if he sees other women until he asked to be exclusive. Have no clue on his budget and plans in relation to me. Why would I pay ? [/quote]

Because he also has no idea about your budget, plans or relation to you. Because dating is a two-way street unless you are a princess who will later assume the other side of that traditional model. But you want. You just want him to pay while at the same time claiming to be a strong, independent woman. [/quote]

Men I see post date 2 absolutely know I only see them. I tell them that I won't go out with others after the fist makeout session. The ball with exclusivity and asking or not asking me out is totally in his hands. I never double date as if there is a clear "contender' that preoccupies my mind, a 2nd, 3rd etc man is totally useless to me.

Dates don't need to be dinners at Ritz, it doesn't cost much to date me unless the guy dates many women at the same time and I'm one of them. If the guy doesn't have budget for inexpensive jazz tickets or bar with drinks that's not my dating field, anyway.

And yes, it does cost more for women to dress up for dates - many of us work from home. I primarily pumper up for the man I want to date. I can go to work in work clothes and with my hair in simple bun. But men are visual, women need to be on top of their game to beat out the competition.[/quote]
