As a guy, if a woman offered to split, I would think she never wanted to see me again.

I'm a bi guy who has dated mostly women and have straight friends from all genders. I tend to date progressive people, so it comes out to me being the only one paying about 60% of the time and the other 40% of the time it's split for a first date (and it's not expensive dinners or anything, it's mostly active stuff outside). That ratio tends to stay about the same for me even when a more serious relationship develops. It seems that for more traditional or conservative people, the guy is the only one paying like 90-100% of the time. Talking to all of my girl and guy friends, none of us have ever been on a straight date where the woman is the only one paying for it. So it seems like there is a cultural expectation for the guy to be the one paying. Also I'm a big fan of the show. Keep on rockin in the free world.

Whoever invited or whoever's idea it was to go out pays. My bf and I always do it this way and usually split our groceries between who is getting what to be as equal as possible

It’s about who asks who out. They pay.

I like 50/50 on the 1st date because I know there are men out there thinking if I pay for this then I deserve a kiss or another date etc

I used to think of it as an investment on the man's part but I'm not sure I believe that anymore lol.

First date for me is always 50/50. I don't expect someone I've just met (on a first date) to buy me a meal nor the other way around. Both people on a first date are essentially seeing if they are compatible. If we are clicking I might buy them a drink but a whole meal is wild. If you go on a second date you obviously like something about the other person and that's when I don't think it would be weird to offer to pay.

No one should be expected to pay for the other. If someone offers, isn’t that a nice surprise

coming from someone currently working at a restaurant, i’d say i see it being close to 60/40 with men in the slight majority

As a woman from the south who’s dated a lot of men, it’s was half & half for me. Some guys are big on paying for the first date, but I always at least offered to split. It’s not a big deal to me.

It's def across the board. Sometimes the guy pays, sometimes we split. I've never paid for the whole meal, tho.

Nooo the guy has to pay for the first date! I’ll happily pay for the next one, but there won’t be a second if I have to pay for my food lol

i think it depends on what you’re looking for. i want a more traditional nuclear family, a man not being to pay for a date means he can’t provide. but if you don’t want kids ever or a traditional marriage, who cares who pays because who cares provides for what. what you want out of life should be taken into consideration and what you want or expect isn’t for everyone.

i have mostly straight friends and the women always pay their own way. coincidentally most of my female friends make more than the men they are dating

Millennials only set the standard to split the bill because everyone has the same student loans and no one can get ahead. They want to date but the financial burden prevents it so the split the bill became “ normal” .. But in turn woman never get the “ taken care of “ feeling causing hyper independence and eventually carry the mental load and most of the household duties while also working full time. I don’t think splitting the bill should be normalized we’ve lost an entire generation of manly men that woman forgot they need/want.

never dated a man who didn't pay. same argument, they have the privilege to earn more than us and they don't get to just keep that excess and like grow their wealth disproportionately, especially when I'm bringing such tangible added value to their health and life if we enter into a relationship. in the Midwest of the US, bi, progressive, millennial.

First she says that gen z know everything and now guys are the ones who basically are only paying ? They can’t beat the neo boomer allegations

Saying beta/alpha about men is ick. As a woman I genuinely want to offer and am happy to split, it’s my expectation. I’m pleasantly surprised when a man, in the right way, says “nah I’ll get this”.
