We need to know what our gender role truther thinks about 50/50 split in dating now since it is going around
we split meals 50-50 (as in, we take turns paying for meals in full.) when talking about m/f relationships, i do not think the split in the first few dates is a great predictor of anything. like, a man could pay 100% because he feels it's the least he could do. or maybe because he knows women judge men harshly and he wants a date. maybe he does it because he feels you'll owe him sex. maybe he just thinks it's the "rule" and has no thoughts beyond that. perhaps he makes $500k a year so he paid for your coffee but he's a cheapskate and that's why he decided coffee not a whole-ass meal and he'll force you to go 50-50 on rent when you move in together. WHO KNOWS?
and like, i do think you should date for the relationship you want. so if you enjoy a little traditional gender roles in your relationship, maybe this matters to you a lot. if you expect a man to be generous with his wallet, then yeah, don't date the guy who goes dutch lmao (just know the guy who thinks that's his job probably has other antiquated ideas.)
if you desire egalitarianism then it is more complicated and not one size fits all.
