So one hotly contested subject that alot of men seem to have grips with is paying for dates. Indeed, from my personal dating life I've seen genuine suprise from the women I go out with that im completely fine with paying and don't expect a "quid pro quo" exchange.

My suspicion is this is more a matter of ideological principle rather than getting upset you spent 12 dollars buying bubble tea or 30-50 dollars at some litte restaurant. The ideology seems to stem from the belief that alot of men feel we are moving towards gender and dating egalitarianism when it benefits women, but strict traditionalism, such as the man paying for dates if it benefits women.

I feel like the insistence of sticking with this matter of principle may inadvertently though turn some women off and maybe as a high value and good looking man you can afford to do that, but for someone average looking this could essentially kill future dates and wouldn't be wise to do.

Now look I get it, men don't want to be viewed as a free meal ticket by a woman, but I can tell you that the probability of that happening is fairly low despite what men may read online and furthermore as a man you gotta learn when enough is enough. I personally move on to someone else if there's no physical contact by the third date.
