I 100% do believe men should be paying for most things in a relationship. I 100% do NOT believe in asking a man for money lol I date people who buy gifts and pay for outings, I don't need to ask for $100 to get my nails done, I can pay for that lol

Why do you believe men should be paying for most things in a relationship? Arnt people in relationships supposed to equals? Relationships don’t exactly have to be transactional, but they are give and take, and the man is most likely to feel used and unwanted for who he is unless your willing to show some reciprocation and effort back in any way(do not misunderstand, I DO NOT mean sex, people tend to think that for some reason when reciprocation for paying in a relationship is brought up)

Also why do you think the man has to pay for most things in a relationship but the woman doesn’t? Both are grown adults and should be able to handle things separately, including finances and chores, why is the woman in a relationship owed the man’s money and paying for stuff?

As a man I would never be in a relationship with a woman who expects me to pay for everything. She’s a grown adult with a bank account, she can buy stuff too. I can pay for some things because I like being nice, but expecting me to pay for most or all things is excessive and ridiculous. I do not want to be used for my bank account

They're not. I don't ask men for anything, I date people who are generous by their own nature

Anyways I just read the paragraph and 1.) the post says "most things" 2.) I'm literally not interested in any man who would feel "used" because I'm not pulling out my credit card every time we go out, I think that's really pathetic and insecure. 3.) we are equals in a lot of ways, in other ways it's 90/10 or 60/40 or whatever for either of us. Paying for things we do together is a 90/10 thing.

"Should be able" are key words here lol I am able, I work in finance and I date people who also are in finance. I'm not dating people who are going broke if I got 2 margaritas at chilis
