This has been a pretty popular debate between me and some of my friends on how this should be handled. Do you think it's fair to expect men to pick up the bill for everything? Let's keep the conversation civil!

This really shouldn’t be a gender discussion, someone who is willing to pay should pay or if both are in agreement, split it. It’s more of an adult decision if anything.

I would agree, but I’ve had women get upset about trying to split the bill. I do have a friend who feels that it should be the individual inviting who pays, because you’re the one who extended the invitation to the other person.

Guess it does depend on who asks who out, but I feel the first few dates should be a mutual split till you know the other person well.

That's how I feel about it, but I think a lot of women have been led to believe they should be paid for on dates.

I pay for everything that a woman wants, unless she specifies otherwise. That seems to be what most women want, but I could be wrong. Anyway, it's not meant to be a type of male chauvinism or "talking down" to women.

Note: It can be a pain in the rear, because life is tough, and I have to work hard for money.
