Personal ad gripe. Who should pay? Him or her? He's not worthy if he doesn't pay?

I believe this to be true in most cases. How do yall feel about this. Agree? Disagree? Is it some ol' bullshit? For real.

QFP.

The stereotype that a man's heart is linked to his stomach has nothing to do with your rhetorical questions. You and your dates will work out the payment system. There are women who don't care whether a man pays. At the same time, there are men who get outraged and feel as though women are shrinking their scrotum if we pay or even offer to pay. Figure it out.
