Why do women want gender equality in the workplace, but not in dating?

Since when have you ever seen or heard of a woman proposing? (yes, at some point in history it's probably happened, so don't give me a couple of anecdotal examples - in reality, about 0.00001% of women will propose to the man, which is effectively nothing)

Holding open doors - yes this is still expected by many women also.

If a man must pay for a first date, then you are effectively saying "my time is more valuable than yours, therefore you must pay me to be here". You know how arrogant that looks?

I'm fine with paying. As long as you give me sex after the date. If you demand I pay, I demand sex. That's fair, isn't it?

If it's not fair, we can split the bill. Equality isn't a one way street. And please don't say tradition again, that's another way of saying "I want equality only in areas it suits me".

I expect the only time you get sex is when you pay for it.

Seems like you're projecting your own experience in life onto me.

I am not the one posting whiny BS on TSR and acting like a girly man. Why don't you grow a pair?

It's an argument about equality. Why do women demand equality between men in one area, but not in another area? A legitimate question, which shows the hypocrisy of feminism. Perhaps you could respond to this and give a decent argument?

I tend to find that people who insult people are just projecting their own experience onto others. In other words, you can't get sex without paying for it, so you get angry about that towards other people.

True, there is a difference between primal needs and other needs.

I think one major issue with some women is they dont know what they really want and they listen to their friends too much. Yes, some men do the same but I think some women take their friend’s validation over their own.

A woman can meet a nice lad and refuse to do anything with him. Once another woman gets interested, they want the lad back. I have seen this happen a number of times.

I expect the only time you get sex is when you pay for it.

Because not all women want the same thing, because feminists only make up only 7% of people in Britain. Things contradict because you’re taking what one woman wants and adding it to what another woman wants like they all have the same thoughts and values.

Source of your statistics?

So considering much of the nation who are together long term aren't married and most of those that are have cohabited before making this choice, I would say that the decision is more joint evolution than a down on one knee proposal nowadays. As to holding doors, this is just common courtesy. Anyone making a big fuss of holding a door open for a girl is a tosser.

Personally I believe that’s just one view, just because society pressures us into living up to the “Stereotypes”. Not ALL women believe in the same values in which you’re suggesting... To suggest that males are more dominant and are in control of a relationship is society living up to a stereotype which is not relevant in today’s modern society. As a women I certainly do not having any expectations of a man when in a relationship and for equality to be achieved we should expect the same from each male and female. However discussing equal pay and relationships are far from each other.. unequal pay is something which isn’t personal to the person but to their gender.. being in a relationship focused on male and female is specific to the person themselves as not all women and men are the same.
We are living in 2018 older generations have been brought up with these out dates views.. we are living in a critical time period which has allowed more opportunities for equality for both Men and Women. Generalising Women and Men into one category isn’t going to help tackle the issue of equality.

Isn't there, like, 1 day in the year when a gal can propose to a guy?

What about the other 364 days?

Yes. I have been that lad on a number of occasions and the only thing I can think of to explain it is their need to perhaps keep a spare male to mate with should the one their with be eaten by a Saber Tooth Tiger. But I think today's women knows her feelings can change at the drop of a hat for no apparent reason so having a man in reserve brings them some comfort.

To change the subject. It's been said that, "Men fall in love but women choose a mate".
To offer a bit of supporting evidence I will say that a man can be walking down the street and see a women walking on the opposite side and at 200yrds. get a look at her face and fall crazy in love with her. Now a woman can see an attractive man in the same situation and maybe go a little ga-ga over him but they don't want to start a family with him on the spot. Comments?

I think if you pay, it shows one of two things, or in some cases both:
You have a massive wallet
You care about the relationship

Seriously, this is menial shite. You can pay.

This seems a bit wild, but it may be true that women are more strategic when it comes to finding a partner. I don't think having a man on the reserve is a good thing because this create an endless cycle for both people.

In addition, i think there is massive double standard when it comes to women and dating, but at the moment they control the rules, so we just accept and try to manage the situation.

For example, a woman can quite comfortably go on a date with a dude and expect him to pay for every thing, if the tables are turned, she would label the guy cheap.
