Dating
I think this boils down to gender typing in the society that we live in. Most women, not all but most, like being taken care of on the first date. This goes back to age old tradition where the male is the breadwinner. Psychologically, most pairs attract for looks, compatibility and knowing that the male is financially capable of supporting/nourishing his mate. It may not always apply to current practice, belief or philosophy but it's merely a tradition. I always offered my wallet, whether cheap or expensive, to my past dates when we first started going out. Most of those dates resulted in the girl being very appreciate. I say most because I also dated the side that never said thank you and expected to be placed on a pedal stool (daddy's little princess). Most of those dates ended quickly but at the time the eye candy pleased my fraternity brothers so it was all good.
