Men Want Women to Split Dating Costs But Are Scared to Ask

There's only one way to change this, and that's for men to take responsibility over their own dating and expect equal expenditure.

If women want equal treatment they should expect it in all realms of life, including dating.

They should be scared, only 18% of women said they genuinely were happy sharing the costs equally. If you think women will look down on you or think badly of you expecting them to equally share the cost for dating as you do then you're probably right

Women want a traditional male but with no limits placed on them as women, once you realise that the mind of "what women want" becomes a lot easier to understand.

I look at it this way: If you want to split costs, you ask to. If the woman says no, then chances are that relationship isn't going to work out and you'll just end up resenting them anyways.

So either you find out early and both and yours and their time isn't wasted, or you one more thing the two of you agree on.

I always split equally on a first date, it's a good way to test how entitled the girl is. I will treat her as someone special if she actually proves to be someone special.

57% of women said they offer to pay but 39% admitted they hoped the man wouldn't accept.

But remember, they want equality!

76% of men said they felt guilty about accepting women's money.

But remember, men just want to control women!

Also, isn't this really funny now that dating-age women are now earning more than men?

I really don't see what's wrong with the idea of paying for your own stuff. I don't mind paying for someone sometimes as a treat but that should never be expected unless I say, "I'll pay for you."

I've had women upset that I only took them out & paid for drinks and thought that was cheap for a first date.

Ill make a small sacrifice simply because I do not want to miss out on a soulmate just because one minor thing such as this is wrong with them.

FFS I've never made any bones about not paying for their meal.. unless I wanted to or w/e but I was never scared to say.. "umm your going to have to pay for your meal." A fellow shouldn't be scared to say that ether. If they expected I was going to pay for them then that kind of sets the stage for me. I can see where this is going. Course I rarely buy women drinks ether. I think the whole thing is bullshit women should absolutely be expecting that they pay for their own meals/drinks. I think this is kind of a stupid issue for me personally and not really something MRM should focus on. In my very humble opinion of course guys should just be expecting women pay for shit they consume and not be dependent on men just because they are sharing time with them.. which is an absolutely pathetic statement about mens mentality, not a MRM matter.. more of a social matter men just have to be upfront about. Most times women actually respect it.. if not then they suck as a person and you prolly shouldn't be hanging with them anyway because they are using you. /yourwelcome.

IMO the person doing the asking should pay for the first date. The implication of asking is that you want to take her out and show her a good time.

Asking her to pay would be like if a buddy asked if you wanted to come over and watch a football game with him, and demanded money from you at the door because he got beer and pizza. It's not that it wouldn't be fair if beer/pizza is something you would like to have too... but you weren't expecting to have to pay him money when you got there.

The second date is the time to bring up splitting the costs.

IMHO this isn't a mensrights issue. Somewhere there is a man fighting to see his kids, or trying to have a female stalker taken seriously by law enforcement. I'd hate to tell him that we spent all our time fighting over who picks up the tab on a date.

Women date men who are too scared to ask to split the bill.

They fuck guys that aren't afraid to say "Are you nuts? I'm not taking you out on a date. I will fuck you though"
