Depends on the relationship, really.
No need for the anonimity. And I'd say the guy. (Where financial solvency is not an issue)

Men belong in the workplace; women belong in the kitchen. Hope this answers your question.

Men, always.

Because I'm bored and at this moment in time have nothing better to do.

My bf and I have always gone dutch. :smile: As far as possible anyway. Like, if we go to the movies, one person will pay for the train and the movie tickets, and the other for dinner, cause the 2 sides add up to about the same.

...hold on.

If women should be treated with respect then they should be asked to pay for half of the total costs rather than being treated like a charity.

If she wants to be shown respect, then she should act equal to the man...
I generally pay, however, I work alot so often have the money....
Each for themselves >_>

During dating and taking out, the guy to a certain degree. during relationship it varies from whos the big earner, whether you can both afford it etc etc, but always 50/50
Go dutch at that stage in the relationship. First few dates the man should make the offer but not after that, its only meant to be a gesture. Unless one person is much older or one person wants to do stuff that couldn't otherwise be done if they were going dutch or that the other person is not that bothered about doing , they should pay a bit more towards it.

There's a difference between being respected and being treated like you're a second-class citizen.

It's nice to be paid for occasionally, but it shouldn't be expected, and it should be reciprocal as far as possible.
On a first date - whoever asked for the date should pay.

In a proper relationship - I'd say half and half. Of course if you've got a partner that wants to spend spend spend on you then let them to a degree. Personally, my boyfriend and I try and split most things. We're both students but he's on a work placement year so does have a steady income at the moment. Sometimes, when I'm a little short on cash he will pay.

I think its very selfish for a woman to say that a man should pay. Women should pay exactly half. As just reading above post yeah i agree first date whoever asked pays. Obviously if i had a gf and she was short or whatever id definately pay. To me money is nothing i dont really give a rats arse about it as long as i have enough money to get by i could care, I just gave 40 quid to aqa for next day delivery exam papers.
