Should a man pay for everything

No. A gentleman pays for at least the first few dates, but women were ALWAYS expected to repay the men - in the form of theater tickets "given by a friend", homecooked meals, etc. It was never supposed to be overt, like the man paying is overt, but always supposed to be subtle, effortless, and not embarrassing to either party. I suppose that in the old days the men were supposed to be viewed as the providers. But it was the obligation of both to remain equal in the relationship costs during the courting stage.

You, mi lady, deserve a wollipop
 
I've been going out with my GF for about a year and a half. I've paid for EVERYTHING. Concert tickets, trips out of town, dinner, lunch, breakfast, etc. you name it. I think in all the time we've been going out, she's paid for lunch for me maybe twice and dinner...no, I don't think she's ever paid for a dinner.

Oh well, it's just one of those things 🙁
 
Initially, first few dates, yes, though there's nothing wrong going dutch.
Women have jobs and incomes just like us guys, and I think they sometimes like to show that they are just as capable of providing as us males are.
 
I don't enjoy the attitude some women hold that women deserve equal pay but not equal payment responsibilities. I certainly believe in the former, but if it is the case, the latter cannot be.

Uh oh... here we go again.
 
if she is worth any of your time, she should at least offer to pay. and you should accept it. its just that simple.
 
you know, once you're married, most is split, except for the going-out/fun stuff ... which doesn't usually amount to much anyway..
 
not everything, but there's not a real problem with paying for the majority. as long as she pays for the pills
