    In addition I would think a nice young woman, would probably spring for popcorn if a man sprung for the movie....

    Agreed. Movie date with popcorn is expensive for two people. Not all guys can afford to blow that kind of cash on a first date with someone they don't know if they want to see again yet.

    First date, I think its nice for the guy to pay.

    After that, whatever everyone feels comfortable with.
    If I planned a date, I'd pay and then he could do next time.

    I'm of the opinion that it's totally ridiculous to expect a guy to pay for everything. If we as women want equal treatment in society, then we also need to let go of the chivalry we expect of men otherwise it's a bit hypocritical.

    This.





    I've been with guys (before I got married) who expected me to pay for everything because I had more money than them. There is a reason I didn't marry any of them. Hubby on the other hand hates that I pay for him 3/4 of the time yet I don't mind paying because I am the one with more money than him.

    Not dating someone because they won't pay for you is shallow.

    What were you women fighting for? Equal rights of what?

    Women and men work, and make equal money, equal job opportunities, equal educational opportunities. A wife brings the same amount of money as her husband, often even more (but not too much, it can hurt his feelings).

    But men are stronger physically. They don't have babies, don't go through this trauma for a body to carry, deliver a baby and get back to normal. And in 6 weeks run back to work otherwise loosing a job.
    And still traditionally women cook and lean up the house, and do the groceries mostly. Men do it too but it's mostly women's job.

    And you say equal rights? Where's that equal? That seems pretty unequal to me!

    WTF did I just read...?

    You read that men have LESS responsibilities and LESS duties now when comparing to the work women do every day.

    As my German friend said the result of this feminism is men losing their balls and becoming passive. Women trying to get equal rights have reached an opposite result.

    But but we pay for dates so really... who's to say who got it tougher

    Do you really pay for dates? Not you personally.
    The whole argument is about women must pay bcs it's equal rights.

    A man now needs to cover in tattoos, drive bikes and etc to still feel like a man. He's got no gender differences anymore. His job can be done by a woman. Any job. Anything. Now you don't have to be a gentleman to pay for a dinner, open a door, nothing is left. Just video games and going to gym. Don't you guys feel useless?
    WTF is this ****? You can't be serious. Please, you're not serious.

    Taking care of family and being a great father is what I consider a man.
