=]]]]]

thanx :x :X

the guy

Ze boy, unless he is poor and the girl don't mind :)

The man should pay. I'm a tad bit old fashion about some things.

What the Hell? On a fun poll like this, you have the audacity to pick a fight with me? What's wrong with you? LMAO!!

Don't tell me, are you one of those guys that get pissed when a woman won't pay for your date? Is this it?

I don't believe in your opinion of consistency. As a woman, I can also choose if I, myself wanted to pay and I have paid in relationships, not that it's any of your business. However, on the first date, if a guy expected me to pay, I'd laugh in his face.

He sounds really angry about this whole thing...

It never ceases to amaze me that a person can take a harmless, opinion geared, fun poll and try and turn it into a hostile one. They all need to be blocked. You did the right thing.

lol i wouldnt let my date pay, even if SHE invite, ill pay !!
i think its inapropriated to let a girl pay for what a man eat !! :S

good a great guy

lol every one has is opinions

The guy, this is the rule.

No, I don't mean this.

Dutch. I pay for my own for the first couple of dates!

My husband was the same way. I told him that sometimes you can be to much of a gentleman. :) He liked that and stuck around. :)

ahem.. HIM!

I always pay, always assume I will pay, and gladly. Yet I always let my date pay if she insists, as they do now and then. I pick up the check at the Taco stand or French resteurant, she pays for lunch a few days later at H.Salt Esq. . I date independent ladies mostly, and don't want to make them feel obligated, dependent, or that they 'owe' me anything.
And it works out. One gf is a very wealthy women. I'm not. We date within my budget when she is visiting my area and she never complains or suggests anthing expensive. Some women are nuts, some are gold diggers, some ...., and some are simply grand.

Just curious.
In today's world I notice very many women hold better jobs than men, since most men did the rougher but better paying work that got outsourced,
and the women in admin. jobs and support work, teachers, at hospitals, doctors offices, banks, schools, government now hold a majority of the best paying jobs left.
I know a lot of guys are enlisting in the military as the last best career- what a lousy lousy poor life I don't care if TV makes it glam.
At least that is what I see in California.
What do you ladies thinlk, now that your becoming the breadwinners for the family? To do better the guys will have to take your jobs, since there in no important job growth in anything that pays a decent wage?
