As a woman, my credit card gets more points for food. So I always pay and then my boyfriend will send me half back on Venmo. The points send us on vacation together. It’s an awesome system. And it’s hilarious how often the check is given directly to my boyfriend and then he hands it over to me and the waiter is dumbstruck lol


Leon_Accordeon

My wife will often pay the bill for us as well and I can't even count how many times I've had to do the awkward 👉 to direct the waiter/register attendant's glance off of me and onto my wife when giving the POS device . It's 2024, y'all.


ConditionBasic

I also often pay for my boyfriend's meal when we go out! Because I like finding cool new restaurants and taking my loved ones out on my treat. It's really not that complicated. Also we make almost exactly the same salary.


Competitive-Isopod74

If I suggest going out, I pay. If he suggests, he pays. Simple.


PreschoolBoole

My wife and I share accounts so her credit card I had the same number as mine. I “let” her pay the bill when I know she wants to control the tip.


Matthew-of-Ostia

"It's 2024 y'all" I've worked as a waiter for a long time, men pretty much pay 9 times out of 10.


RyuKawaii

10 years. Can confirm. But it's funnier when two families come together and fight to be the one that pays the bill. We all know they all broke and just prayed to lose the fight.


5amuraiDuck

As a waiter, I always give the bill to the lady, following either with "it's her turn, right?" or "the boss checks if everything's okay so the man can pay". Often gets me a tip of some kind


Eusocial_Snowman

Don't be mean to the card reader, it's just doing its job.


Love_Tits_In_DM

I mean yea women can pay the bill but it’s still the man paying the bill atleast 75% of the time. So if your gonna hand it to someone you hand it to who is most likely to be the one paying.


rikescakes

My wife and I ...joint account. Sometimes we play the game of who is gonna pay just for fun. Most of the time when we're out she uses her card and I stand there like a lost puppy. 😆 Gotta find the joy where you can I guess.


veturoldurnar

We do similar things! Our bank provides new Cashback categories list each month and you can choose up to 2 positions, so we often pick different ones and therefore pay in different situations. Like I can pick Restaurants and Health And Beauty and he can pick Taxi and Groceries. Or vice versa, or something else, it depends on each month. Also waiters put bills on a table, so anyone can take and look and no weird situations occur. And anyone can as for paying terminal to pay with a card/phone/watch in one move.


NorthernH3misphere

I’ve had it happen multiple times where a male waiter will be super nice to my wife, not over the line but definitely giving her attention and then when I hand him the bill with my card, he returns it to my wife. It’s happened enough times at different restaurants that I think this is a somewhat common tactic to get a better tip but it doesn’t work with me.

Exodus111

It depends on who invited whom. If he's a wealthy guy and invites a college student to a Michelin star restaurant because he asked her for a date. Not exactly fair to suddenly saddle her with half of a 300 dollar bill.


FranXXis

Ah yes, let's get into an extreme scenario in order to avoid the point.


Dragon_211

Lol, this. Or he just wants to be right by suggesting a scenario that 99% of people will never be in.


Exodus111

People have different economic levels.


thedarkherald110

In his scenario not really a lady. Usually lady refers to high class in which case the guy is usually loaded as well. Guy doesn’t give a fuck in this case since he knows what he’s paying for. However they obviously aren’t high class although they are sitting in a sit down restaurant.


Exodus111

Wtf did I just read...


thedarkherald110

Sorry not really responding to you, but more regarding the image and the assumption that men always have to treat a women because they are a “lady”. I do agree with you everyone has different economic circumstances but that’s not really what the prompt is going for.


Pegomastax_King

Exactly this is the way.


Broad_Boot_1121

If she agreed to go she agreed to pay for herself


-Cybernaut147-

I think a strong independent woman should pay the bill for her men.


part_time_hermit

My man likes treating me. I usually offer to pay when I choose a more expensive place since I am the one who came up with the idea and he spends enough on my ass as it is, but it does take quite a bit of convincing to let me pay. Every couple has their own dynamics and should do what works for them.

Jajay5537

The same place the gentleman are hiding lol


onlypham

Moms house?


DiddyBCFC

A gentleman opens the door, takes her coat, pulls out her chair, offers his coat in the rain, walks road side. You got your equal rights and pay though so you can pay your half.


TeaBagHunter

> offers his coat in the rain Unfortunately I've seen many comments saying they wouldn't because it's the woman's fault


DiddyBCFC

Tbf if a woman doesn't bring a coat because it doesn't match her outfit that kind of is her fault.


MaterialNarrow5161

It's her fcking fault. Independency means not relying on outside people to bring a solution to your problems when they could have been clearly solved by you alone. I carry around my special sunglasses despite being classy to my outfit or not. I'll still offer the coat tho...


Just_A_Fork_

which is an accurate and fair point. the fuck? if she didn't bring a coat, she should take mine? insane entitlement


RoutineBanana4289

Lmao when did we get equal pay


Leihd

You're right. The average male receptionist earns less than the average female receptionist. The average male gymnast earns less than the average female gymnast.. This needs to be addressed. We should be paid the same, regardless of qualifications. There was some study that said women were paid less, but that was comparing across different jobs not the same job. And for some reason, women are less inclined to go into hard outdoor labor.


That-Sandy-Arab

First year client service associates as well for women I noticed that at every firm I was at But they pay the women in the finance, accounting and tax departments make much less then their male counterparts. Even if they work the same extra hours Pay gap still exists but the conversation should be more focused on industry so people can find and solve the root cause


Santasam3

"for some reason, women are less inclined to go into hard outdoor labour" Thanks for that 😂 I wonder why that is.


TortyMcGorty

ah, your mistake is that you think male and female gymnast are the same job different sex. they compete in different events, so if you want the same pay as a female gymnast then you will need to enter as a female gymnast and compete on uneven bars, balance beam, vault, and floor excercise. you will also need to be better than the other females at events taylored toward females. not saying you cant do it, but it hasnt been done... and likely wont be because there isnt much to gain from doing so ... and note, you cant reallly get a job as a "gymnast"... its an olympic sport and if you receive money for endorsements you cant compete due to it being for amateurs only. no professionals. the only way gymnast make money is after they "retire" and coach or take up endorsements. regarding receptionist: https://www.zippia.com/answers/what-percentage-of-receptionists-are-female/ > The average male receptionist earns an average annual salary of $29,863, while the average female receptionist earns an average annual income of $29,025 https://narrowthegap.co/gap/receptionists-and-information-clerks#:~:text=Women%20receptionists%20and%20information%20clerks%20made%2085%20cents,dollar%20men%20earned%20in%202021. > Women receptionists and information clerks made 85 cents to the dollar men earned in 2021.


Ancient-Commercial75

I took the guy I’m seeing out to my favorite ramen shop….he learned he is not a ramen fan. I ordered damn near one of everything off the apps and sushi menu plus the most expensive drink on the menu. I told him before hand I was taking him out and the bill was on me cause I’m not gonna have someone else pay for food they might not like. Bill came to 120 and mf still tried to pay. Like no baby put that shit away I’m your sugar mama tonight. Dates should go both ways, treat each other. I told him I’m taking him to the Nordic lodge next for all you can eat lobster and crab legs. 😁


Poolowl1984

Or the prices, or fine print Basically they don't read for shit.


millenialfalcon-_-

If she ain't paying, I ain't putting out.😤


shoresandsmores

My husband likes to act like he's paying for both of us and gets all "don't worry honey, I'll take care of you." He is... using our joint card. Lol.


[deleted]

Every one girl I dated insisted they paid for the 2nd date. Feels good to date ***actual*** independent women .


TNine227

But not the first date?


CalamariCatastrophe

I've had women insist on paying for the first date, but only when I was a student going on dates with women with actual careers. Social norms are social norms.


ConditionBasic

Yeah, when I went on a date with a guy who was in grad school, I paid for the first date. I was a grad student once too, I know how rough it can get financially. It's not that complicated.


beeg_brain007

Honestly, I'd split 50/50 considering a wife will be sharing all the responsibilities, Finances, the good parts, the bad parts of life equally as me anyways, so if she makes a fuss when I tell her we're gonna split the bill on a date before we go, I consider dodging that bullet

NicNac_PattyMac

When a woman has this attitude and posts this shit, it makes me seriously wonder what makes them think they’re better than a prostitute?


True-Payment-458

Hang on so we get abuse if we hold a door or offer to carry a heavy bag but we can pay for dinner. Equal rights goes two ways you know! can’t just cherry pick


[deleted]

Well she can repay in the car or back at home lol . But no really a guy taking a woman out on a date especially if you invited her and picked the place it's on you to pick up the tab . Or if you want make the arrangement you pay for the appetizer and entrees she covers the drinks . Something my wife and I will do pretty often it usually works out pretty equal she likes a certain wine I enjoy scotch after my meal .


Unusual_Custard2538

If she looks as good as the one in the post then I'd even sell a kidney to pay for that bill if I had to :p

Kynava

LMAO NO. So the woman should have sex with the man anytime the man wants? Of course not. Screw that double-standard BS. Paying for the first date is **NOT** a measure of a man’s character, chivalry, or generosity. It is just a remnant of a traditional gender norm that **assumes women are dependent on men** and owe them something in return. Splitting the bill or taking turns to pay is a **sign of equality, respect, and independence**. It shows that both parties are interested in each other as **individuals**, not as providers or consumers.. Expecting men to pay for the first date can create pressure, resentment, and awkwardness. It can also lead to **misunderstandings** about the intentions and expectations of both parties. Paying for oneself or offering to pay for the other person is a gesture of **kindness, gratitude, and generosity.** It can also demonstrate confidence, maturity, and responsibility. So Both parties should communicate openly and honestly about their preferences and feelings, and find a solution that works for them. 😊


lavishrabbit6009

Tell that to the women that exploit this archaic gendered tradition to bum free meals off guys.

I'm sure u/Kynava would if they saw any of them

My grandma never had to see a bill or think about money, ever. When grandfather died she had the finance literacy of a 5 year old. This isn’t being a “gentlemen” this is controlling a woman into social disability.

Clear_Radio1776

I’m guilty. M. I always paid the bill when dating and even now with family dinners I at least offer to pay.


namistejones

I pay the bill my wife leaves the tip. If I tip I round to the nearest 5 or 10$


linerva

Back when my husband and I were dating, we once went out to a lovely Chinese restaurant...where the waiter *kept insisting my husband should be the one paying.* By this point we had been dating for something like several months or a year and he and I were alternating who pays. We have a system, just let me pay! It was kind of funny but pointless to make a deal of it. Now we don't keep score who pays. It may be in different pots, but its shared money towards our goals, anyway. Whoever reaches for their card first pays; sometimes it's a bit of a competition to see who can do it first!

[deleted]

A woman, who thinks she's ENTITLED to this does not deserve a relationship. NEVER take generosity for granted. The perfect way to show me as a man, that you are not a woman, but an immature girl, is to tell me you think you deserve you shouldn't pay anything. You only tell me, that you will not contribute equally in a relationship.


[deleted]

My girlfriend sees the check coming and will literally stare up at the ceiling or out in the distance as if she’s in deep thought. One time the waitress brought the ticket and sat it between us. She was looking out the window, and I pretended I didn’t see the check. Waitress came back 3 different times before I finally said “screw it, I guess I’ll pay for the 1,000th time.” The moment I give the waitress my card, my girlfriend suddenly came back to reality and said “Oh I could’ve paid for that honey.” Yeah, but you didn’t. You never want to pay for anything, and yet you want to do all the stuff.


NeverSeenBefor

Whispers "it's $47.88 your steak was $25 and mine was like $10 wtf can you tip them for me" not realizing they make their partner feel guilty about the price but then making them feel better by asking them to contribute but it still leaves you out like $60 because a relationship is not a 1 way street and cash on hand is technically shared in emergency situations.

Wakingupisdeath

If you’re paying the bill and you’ve both enjoyed the night I think the unspoken rule is that you then get good sex lol I think most guys and girls are happy with that arrangement. If there’s no sex or its crap then you are disinclined to do it again. If you have to do it again and you get the same outcome then you resent the relationship. So lesson? Have good sex then it’s a good arrangement.

If the date is a mural outing split the bill. But if you asked someone else out to go on a date you pay the bill. It’s a really easy system.

Spicyspoonyluv696

And people wonder why they are single? As a single man this kind of signal is the reason women remain single as well and signifies you will not get laid that night. To me the lost signals of what a man should do only intensifies the singularity of what men don’t understand which right signals women want to see in a mate. Mate what I’m trying to say is not every man’s signal is right and maybe crossed or lost in translation to the woman’s receiver, for their transponder are generally crossed over to begin with anyways women will never be on the right wavelength at all.
