Whoa, marriage? I'm gonna be honest, that's... that's fast and doesn't seem like he has the best reasons. Though I get how it makes sense for him to get her in a position where she feels most willing to contribute financially. Wow. Men can be so calculating...

Don’t ever lessen yourself to going 50/50. The reason I am actually saying that is because a man who TRULY adores and wants you will absolutely go to the ends of the earth to prove to you that he can provide for you. Even if he is poor, he will go without food to show you that you come first. I know this because of many, many life experiences with men. Only the men who don’t give a fuck about you will ever ask you to pay. It’s not about snagging the richest guy possible. It’s about the guy putting his money where his mouth is.

I don't go 50/50 because women are still not being paid equal wages for equal work. Even an adjusted wage gap, where all other variables are adjusted for, women make on average 5% less than men. I don't go 50/50 because women on average perform so much more unpaid labor than men, such as homemaking and emotional labor. I don't go 50/50 because even though women are outperforming men in school and work, there is still a huge glass ceiling that prevents women from reaching the peaks of success, because once you climb high enough, you're in a "boy's world". Financial security is one of the only benefits that women have, and 3rd wave feminism has convinced us to forgo that benefit without addressing the underlying structures that forced us to become financially dependent in the first place.

You can always regain money. Time and youth, you cannot.

Let me tell you why else I won’t be going 50/50 anymore. The former pick-me self used to pay half of dinners and lunches with my ex despite the fact his order of food was always twice what I ordered. He ran marathons and would load up on food at every meal. Now how the fuck is it ‘equal’ when I’m paying for your food?

I don't do 50/50 and I never will.

If he's such a penny pincher that can't do that then maybe he should stop inviting women on dinner dates

Imagine going 50/50? Couldn’t be me 😂 my fiancé still pays for every single dinner out and Uber eats even tho it’s literally shared money at this point. It’s the principle of the thing - my spending money is for me, his money is for us. That being said my “spending money” is often spent on stuff for our house, like decor and kitchen utensils etc. It definitely balances out in the end. But it’s stuff I would have bought for myself anyways, and he benefits from living in a beautiful home.

If you want her, pay for her food you poop stains. If she wants you, she'll take care of you, be loyal to you, cook for you (not necessary but you're damn lucky if she does), and bare your god damn children. Paying for her meal is the god damn least you can contribute to the relationship. Men wanna call themselves the providers. Ok, where? Where are you providing if you refuse to pay for a meal and expect her to work a job and keep your kids alive 24/7?
