Poll time: If a woman offers to pay for her meals and tickets?

Question

Does that make you think she's a cheap sl*t? 

Look, I hear this from a group of women who ranged from the 50-to-30 range. My own cousin truly believes that it *was* the reason why her ex dumped her, and why my first relationship didn't work out (to which I call bullsh*t). But I constantly hear about this from her and other women, and while I'm sick of hearing it, seeing them so truly confident about this fact, sadly, makes me sometimes doubt myself. 

Still, I just really believe no one on earth would try to treat someone worse simply because of a barely relevant action through the course of a relationship. That's just my opinion, though to her and the women I have to meet day to day, it's irrelevant because I don't date much and therefore have 'no idea'. But that's just my opinion. I always paid for my dinners and expenditures--it makes no sense to snatch a guy's money which he has to live and be able to keep a roof over his head, only because 'I'm a girl' and have to keep my 'value' up to make him feel like he needs me more. Wrong or not, it's only my opinion.

Well, these women's ridiculously backwards views explains why they've had such problems in their relationships.

The guy who sticks around w/ difficult, disinterested and demanding women really has no self respect. So if these women think that the man lacking self respect is the one to keep around, it makes me wonder what they think of men.

Hmm. I don't know.

I never bought into rules like that, because everyone behaves differently in a relationship and there are way too many exceptions to create rules in the first place. I always pay for my own things. I figure it's the 21st century and if women are allowed to earn wages then we should be able to pay for our own meals. I don't even think of it as an independence thing. It's just modern times.

I wouldn't look down on someone if they didn't pay for their own meal, though. If the guy wants to be all traditional and gentlemanly by insisting that he pay for the dinner, then let him. Old habits die hard. But, if the woman went on the date with the clear knowledge that she was NOT going to pay for herself, maybe she is a bit of a tart.... lol!

I would think that a woman would be viewed as a cheap slut by a man if she had her own income and never paid for her own meals and tickets.  I don't think any man wants to keep paying for woman when she has her own money unless he's rich and likes to show off.

I don't see how a woman paying her own way would in any way indicate that she is sexually free with herself. And generally don't cheap people like to spend as little of their own money as possible?

No

I would venture to guess that people who would think that think of dating as prostitution. "Cheap" wouldn't refer to her being cheap (as in, penny pinching cheap), it refers to her "price" being cheap (ie guy paying for dates as paying for potential sex).

How would she be a "cheap slut" if she pays for her own things? My boyfriend and I always go halfsies, or we take turns paying.
