Sexism
I don't mind a 50/50 split though.
I said the same thing a page back.. or on another thread maybe lol.. they are starting to all sound the same. 50/50 is fine, or if one has tickets to something the other should pay for the meal.
But, I am wondering how many have noticed, that mostly it all seems to come down to communication. And if people are all using the riddles I have read as suggestions posted here, I can see why.
If everyone said what they meant, then maybe there would not be confusion.
Sure, some may think it is rude, BUT, sooner or later, they would adjust to that being rude.
Like someone used the term broad, someone did not like it, they considered it rude and sexist or something..
I have no problem with being called a broad, or a twat. I do not see why people have an issue with the words.
How many parents try teaching their children to use real words, and say what they mean?
Then later on in life that rule changes and it is all about decoding the riddles.
Well, no wonder people do not have a friggen clue what others are on about.
They look like they mean one thing, but they are saying another..
I also have this problem with women, not just men, like a woman at work who always buys my food and then wont let me pay her back, or argues with me for ages when we're at a bar buying some drinks. I dont like other people paying for everything for me, regardless of what sex they are or whether im in a relationship with them
ack, i once dated someone who insisted on paying for everything and it was annoying as hell. he wouldnt even let me pay for one drink or my own ticket to a place id suggested going. drove me nuts but in the end i gave up even offering because it was just too frustrating arguing about it
i dont see why they shouldnt pay sometimes though. its just a nice thing to do and shouldnt be some huge issue?
I don't have a problem with someone paying sometimes, just as long as they don't get all pouty and act as though I've castrated them when I try to return the favour.
oh, the second part of my post wasnt directed at you btw. i agreed with what you said.

My last boyfriend thought that it made him less of a man if I bought him lunch every once in a while. It was ridiculous.

I agree with this, however if I want to take my girlfriend out on a date, then I pay for her. I don't try to put her on a pedestal, but I see it as I'm trying to give her a good time and impress her (like courting) and if she likes me back she can give me her love and support.

About paying I'd consider it more of a gender role than sexism. For some men putting up a big bill in a restaurant is one way a man can show off and the woman ruins his parade if she refuses to let him pay. Here the guy's a peacock trying to spread his tail and the girl is peeing on his tail feathers so that they are too wet for him to raise.
But if they're women they don't have a penis so they can't piss on a target from the kind of range that men on a pedestal could let alone at all.
Actually, now that I think of it, that would make it kind of hard for the female peacock to pee on the male peacock's tail feathers. Then again maybe peacocks can fly?

Why is it morally required by many for the guy to ask a girl out
Socially? Yes. Morally? No.
I've never heard of this. I've always split the bill in early dating, and when in relationships, we'd take turns paying.
It ain't the fifties.
Since the rest of your post relies on these assumptions, I don't know what else to say about it.

Paying for their meals is also a kind thing to do.
Hey! I'm allowed to be a beautiful, vibrant piece of arm candy too! Us men aren't the only ones who judge on looks
Its not morally required, but it is a societal custom. I reject paying for a strangers meal out on pure principal. If the girl has issues with it, she is history. I've met lots of girls with issues related to this. The day girls stop crying about the inequitys of the "male society", that day we'll have equality. Seriously, make the wages equal so we can drop this BS tradition that should have died with chivalry. Same goes for crap like "All men are responsible to take care for womens offspring" - Not bloody likely!
There are lots more issues with female to male equality that needs to me solved, and it wont cost the women a damn cent, all they have to do is change their opinions = another speculation of the probability of ice-crystallised precipitation in hell.
Yeah, you heard me, i'm a man and i want MY equality - deal with it!
I have to agree with you.
I don't even like when a guy offers to help me lift something heavy. It makes me feel like equality is just a thin veil and under that veil I really am a lesser creature.

That's because the female has the last saying (yes or no) , it's the male who has to do a lot of things to impress the female in order to increase his chances of getting yes's. It's like that male birds who sing in order to impress and attract the females.
Paying dinner is one of those things that male humans naturally do in order to impress the females.
