I have no problem paying on a date. I usually insist on it. Well, "usually" is relative in the sense that a date isn't "usual" for me

I will only pay for dates occasionally once a girl starts putting out for me. Up until then, if you pay for dates then you risk getting played for a fool. Look, this isn't the 50's and 60's when women were submissive and relied totally on a man for emotional and financial support. Back then, a man demonstrated his viability by how well he was able to treat her like a china doll because that was her role in marriage - to be a "pet". Now women want to be treated as equals. If women want to be treated as equals then they should give you the same respect as an equal and pay half. If any demand that you follow the social etiquette of a past generation, then call them on ther bullsh**. They need to earn your respect by making a fair exchange of money, sex, whatever. When you've just met them, what have they done to earn the right to accompany you in public and have you pay for their meals? I've found that women appreciate and respect a man who doesn't supplicate to them by paying for everything and catering to their every wish. If you do such things and supplicate yourself to women, they will begin to think "If I can manipulate him this way, other people can too." This will make her feel insecure...

Well, actually my thing about paying on dates is indicative of larger issues. That is, when my friends and I go out, very often I'll pay for all of them. Money isn't a big deal to me - I'm not rich, but I have enough to live decently well, and if someone else can't afford to do what I want to do, I'd rather pay for him/them than not do it at all.

Can we be friends?

That picture of the girl with the t-shirt is made perfect by the presence of port-o-potties in the background.

Does that go for all of Europe? Is the reverse true as well? My girlfriend and I were in a McDonalds in Paris last week and she was freaked out that a guy used the stall next to her in the ladies room (the mens room was locked).

Not sure really. Here it mainly only happens in bars and things and when there are long queues for the ladies.

I've seen chicks use the men's room tons of time. Mostly it's in bars or at sporting events though.

Hope that's the right smiley..

If not, Davey, you're loaded.

Nope. It's just that financial aid pays for all of my school and then some, and I work a full time job that pays decently well on top of it, plus my car insurance, gas, and a few other things are already covered. And I split the rest of the bills with a roommate.

[Solly]

Most people do split bills with the people they live with, you know?

[Timexwatch]

Utilities and rent? Sure. Food? I don't. I don't consume as much as my roomates, and I eat once a day, so I don't like to split any more than I have to. The only thing I pay into for is milk and the occasional snack item; I think that's pretty fair.
