Here's the question for women (and men). Do you believe in equal pay and or compensation? Do you believe in equal treatment (for women)? If so then do you believe in splitting the tab (so to speak)? It seems that women want equal everything but when the bill comes they want to be "old fashioned" or "puritanical". If I were a woman I wouldn't let a man pay for anything. Why would I want to give my power away? Now don't get me wrong. I love women. But isn't this a great big giant double standard? What are your thoughts?

The star of Lifetime's "Matched In Manhattan" and the best-selling author of "Why Hasn't He Called?", Matt Titus, said "Women never pay".
Me? When a man asks me to dinner, he pays. But I pay for tickets when ask him to accompany me to a theater/show. Also, I cook and pay for groceries when invite him over for dinner.

I think you're right! But at the same time I think it depends on the women as individuals. I Don't much like princess type women. I like women who can protect and defend themselves and aren't so helpless and girlie and need to have things handed to them on a silver platter! The best way to avoid paying the bill is simply saying "drinks on me, dinner on me then you on me." the reaction will let you know just what kind of women you have on your hands! (though I think either way it's win win in a man's case)

Kat, Most insecure men use money as a way to make women feel vulnerable and obligated just for sex..They don't know that some women are smarter than them...I never had that experience to feel vulnerable and obligated..I do expect a man to treat me well because I want to....specially when i doubt and mistrust that man because he is a player big time.... I agree with you....When you are in a relationship you should not feel obligated to share and to give because you will receive more..... Julie

I would never want to give up my power for a guy.It will make you you vunerable.And I don't be obligated. Untill you know the person and develope a relationship then sharining is expected.Good luck.

more bluster from MR Never-Come-Through.
We all tease back and forth but if you new ladies think ANY of Bribri " invitations" are sincere.They are not. Of course,,under the current climate on the blogs, he may well select ONE person to actually meet. I'de like to see that.
Those of us who have been around a long time know Bri is just a tease. Just dont be foolish enough to think he means it.

lol..i fought on the FRONT lines on the ERA movement . I was BORN equal.
Society runs on certain cultural norms,,in OUR society, men generally ask for and pay for the dates.During courtship, that is.
Men LOVE to show off. One way they do that is by spending their earnings on those they like and want to be with.
I had to adjust my personal beliefs to date my then rich BF.HE WANTED to and TOOK pride in being able to "provide".
The very first time I let him pay for me ( besides the regular dates that is) was when I was changing a flight so I could stay with him for a few mores days over in Australia. I had the ticket agent on the phone , the flight re-routed,,only to discover my credit card was inside my locked car that was INSIDE of a locked fence in the car garage of the hotel.
He took control, paid for the flight and was very very happy the rest of the night.His face was beaming. His joy and pride were genuine.
This all gets a good deal more complicated when the man is from a different country
