Splitting the bill- opinions?

I find it useful in some ways but not always. For me, I just prefer buying my own food/meal separately. I hate contributing money to some else's things, especially when they order so much and the total comes to a lot lol.
How about just spend your own money and pay the bill yourself.

If you’re not in a relationship then you should split the bill. Why should the man pay?
If you are in a proper relationship then you can decide between yourselves. Take it in turns. If you’re invited for a special occasion then whoever invited you would probably pay but don’t assume.
When you live together/are married,it most likely all comes from the same pot anyway. So it doesn’t matter
Why would you assume that you can get away with not paying your fair share?

Okay so, I just watched this clip on YouTube of first dates and the woman said she didn’t want to split the bill initially because she is ‘traditional’ but after hearing about the guys situation she decided to split it. Regardless of any situation for me personally as a woman I 100% prefer splitting the bill because if I eat then that’s only fair right? Also I know a lot of people who go on about women’s right but then they think the man should pay. What are your opinions on this? I’m curious

If it is a date then the person who invited the other should pay.

I am more than happy to split the bill, that woman who refused due to being 'traditional' is the same woman that complains that no guy takes her seriously or let her do her own thing.

If the guy offers to pay then i will offer to buy drinks.

Yeah I guess if she doesn’t want to pay and wants to be ‘traditional’ then I’m not sure why she has a problem with being told what to do

I think online dating has blurred this traditional approach now because 99% of the time it's the guys approaching the laydees. This would logically end up with women very rarely paying, which isn't right.

there is nothing I hate more than people calculating up their exact meal choices at the end of a meal.

So do I - that whole 'but I only had two diet cokes and I definitely didn't have a coffee' thing.

I have walked out of so many after work meals because of that kind of behaviour, I just throw my cut of cash down and leave the rest to squabble.

Same here. It's when someone starts using their calculator on their phone to add it up the penny - it's so unnecessary and embarrassing. I've done the same thing - chucked in £50 and left them to it, the penny pinching *******s

She's not 'traditional'. She's a freeloader. Why should she not pay for her share of the meal? It's not 1950.

Women can be a bit selective in what they consider 'sexist' - holding a door open is sexist, but getting out to change a tyre in the pouring rain on the A23 is 'man's work'.

I'd view with suspicion any woman who regularly went out on 'dates' but never seemed to want to get her purse out. It spells trouble later down the line.
