I think that this shouldn't be an issue at all. Whoever has the ability to pay the bills can do it. The other one just needs to compromise. The one who can not help in paying the bills should do the household chores to show gratitude and appreciation for the effor and all the work of the one who pays the bills. It shouldn't be determined by gender but by the ability. I really don't understand men who insists on paying the bills when they really can't and I believe it's just fair that they should do the chores in case that it's the women who pays the bills. It should be give-and-take and if ever he refused to do the chores, then he should start looking for a job where he can earn enough to contribute to the expenses.

You're definitely right. When it comes to dates, it's just right that the one who asks should be the one to pay. Unless when the women asks for it, and the man can pay for it and money isn't a problem for him at all, I think he should be gentleman enough to pay for it. Actually, it depends upon what the couple agreed on and they both know what each other's situation is financially and should just be considerate.

When I was dating I always insisted on going dutch.Now that I am in a commited relationship we take turns in who pays. I believe its a matter of choice.If you choose to ask someone out then you should be able to pay for the date.
