Why does the men allways pay at first dates? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 72/100. CrashO (469)   ranked 7,611 out of 18,741 in relationships5 months ago

I mean, of course its nice us to pay, but most of the girls here, really takes it easy, now I have a gf and of course she pays when she has money, and sometimes she pays for me too, and then when I have money I'll pay for both etc.

But allmost most of the time with girls, and friends I know, ALLWAYS pays for them, I mean I really find selfish for a girl not to pay her part at first dates or don't say anything at all, I'm not getting mad about the $ coz you do what you have to do to get a girl, but I really would think nice of a femal person to stand up and say she will pay her part, I would really consider her worth my time!

Whats your opinion about that?

Because it shows respect for the woman.. It makes a lasting impression.. It looks odd for a woman to pay, not unless she insists on paying..

It's just an old fashioned way to go about it. The girl was asked out, the person who does the inviting pays. It's just a sign of emanzipation that girls started to pay their share even on a first date....

it's odd that girls spend a lot of cash on expensive clothes, jewelry, perfumes, hair-cuts and stuff like that so she can look good to a guy, but she wont pay for a hamburger or a soda. of course it's nice that a guy pays. it shows attention and care. i'm a girl and i don't pay a lot of money on clothes and girl stuff and whenever i go out with my boyfriend i pay if i have cash and if he has cash he will pay or maybe we'll make 50-50. it really depends. but girls pay:D

I can't say for sure but it could have to do with being a gentlemen and it's not meant as anything malicious. If that happened and she said she wanted to pay, I can respect that wish. That's what I've learned anyway and that's how I could look at it. I've never had a situation like it saying she would but I wouldn't be opposed to it.


myLot reputation of 72/100. CrashO (469)   ranked 7,611 out of 18,741 in relationships  5 months ago

yeah, i know that, but lets say she says "i pay for mine" and then you insist and its okey you'r a gentlemen, but nowadays were I live, they expect to buy you expensive drinks and say nothing!!:-\

atleast "thank you for a nice meal/drinks" would be nice, I mean yes men must be gentlemen, but they sure have to be equal right?:p doh!
an date its not for only the men to see how the women will be, its viceversa!


myLot reputation of 98/100. babostwick (1578)   ranked 2,990 out of 18,741 in relationships  5 months ago

Yeah that would be nice to be appreciated for it. I can agree there. If the situation happens, I wouldn't put up a fuss about it. I usually don't put up a struggle with it. If she wants to pay, I'd let her and that would be it.

Traditionally, a man always pays. It's just gentlemanly. A lady who does not make a fuss about it is only keeping up her persona. It would look bad if she'd asked to pay her half, especially in a public place. Also, most times, a woman doesn't know whether she should ask or not.

My fiance doesn't have a job and didn't when we first met. He never once asked for us to go out to eat, but I would take him out to eat and pay for him. He would refuse and say he was not hungry when I knew he had to be starving as we had been out the whole day together. Eventually I stopped asking out of respect for him.

Well, since it mostly the men that invite us to the first date, I think it's only fair that the men pay for the first date. The dates after that wouldn't really matter because we would have pay for our part if necessary. Paying at the first date can also give us a good impression you know. happy
