BettyDraper Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 LOL. If he makes significantly more than you, and still wants to split the check then he's a cheap skate and a tight ass. Real men treat their women to dinners. Not go 50/50. Although men shouldn't be expected to buy make up or groceries. And I definitely insist on paying some ofthe time my bf takes me out..but I like the fact that he strongly prefers to treat me. I feel if a man is crazy about you, he should WANT to treat you to meals. Asking to go 50/50 and split checks when he makes significantly more than you isn't romantic or manly. I agree with this. I have dated some tightwads in the past who made more money than I and it was a turn off. Miserly people are selfish because they are also stingy with their emotions. Real men like to provide and part of that is paying for dates. I don't see what's wrong with a woman being spoiled by her man as long as she is spoiling him in return. My husband spoils me and I do the same for him. It has been that way since we were dating. Link to post Share on other sites
Dirt Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one who feels this Well I also get spoilt with affection, compliments, quality time AND I don't have to buy me own meal on dates. My boyfriend has been doing poorly financially since moving states. In 4 months he's : - never wanted me to pay for dates. Although he cannot afford regular ones. - 500 dollar necklace and pandora bracelet for our first Christmas. - whenever we have gone to the mall, he has treated me to: a 120 dollar skirt, a 70 dollar bag and a 50 dollar dress. He splashed out on 1000 dollar hotel suit as a welcome home gift when back from overseas. So even men on average to low incomes can at least treat a lady to a date occasionally. Men that cannot afford to treat a woman to a date shouldn't be dating. I would never settle for a guy who asked me to pay for my own meal on dates. There are many that PREFER to treat. And I bet your bf doesn't have much in the way of savings and a secure financial future. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
