@Butterflyyyxoxo Your husband probably made or makes more money than you. Which made sense, decades ago, most women did not make much money if they even worked. Now, they have careers and still expect to date a man that earns more money. It's an arms race. The paradigm must shift because most women expect to be paid as much as men.

Boy oh boy, sure is convenient for women that men ask out women (and therefore by your and others' definition, must pay the bill) 90% or more of the time, eh? And by the way, what exactly does that idea say about the first date? That the woman actually had 0 interest in going, and that the man now has to compensate her for her precious time? Why does it have to be transactional?

@Butterflyyyxoxo That has nothing to do with the male side of the date, and whether or not he should be embarrassed for splitting the bill or allowing the woman to pay. Most men aren't embarrassed any more. They're aware of the state of the job market and economy and they're sick of most of this nonsense.

He does have a social media channel where he talks about this stuff, but it does strike me as more of an "insurance policy" than a gotcha for clout.

"We deserve it because we were oppressed historically." "Okay, is there a budget for reparations? How much money before the oppression is paid off? Who's keeping track of the dinner I'm paying for? This all seems a lot more organized than our patriarchy."

The other side of that coin is, "I have to pay you to date me because you wouldn't be interested otherwise." It's a very disgusting and transactional idea. If you want to pay at the end, fine, whatever. But expecting "whoever asks, has to pay" from the start is ridiculous. Just admit you aren't interested in the other person, except for their money at that point.

I agree it's actually easier in person but it isn't literally a blind date on apps like you seem to think it is. Most people (not counting Tinder as it is almost purely for sex or free food) only date after texting someone for the better part of a week.

@Montana_horseman I agree with you. It's harder to build a rapport with someone you don't know purely through 1 on 1 texting. That's why many of these apps like Hinge make you write "prompts" about yourself which are effectively conversation starters.

@Montana_horseman That sounds interesting. Thanks. I'm about ready to give up on these apps though. Every woman feels like a princess on them and doesn't even really give you the time of day, even the less attractive ones. I'm about ready to start going to random events that sound fun on meetup.

He was wrong to ask her out on a dinner date instead of something cheaper, but no, if women can work careers, they can pay for a meal. Time to grow up.

Transactional dating/relationships are completely stupid in general. Jeremy is advocating for it here without truly realizing it. That, or he honestly believes that women don't have careers now and therefore can't afford to pay. Just about every woman I see on dating apps (not Tinder) has a job that must pay at least the national average for men.

Nah, she just wanted the food. My money is on her never talking to him again even if he paid.
