In response to Going Dutch

Read this, then come back.

Guys paying for their dates meal is a long standing tradition, but it is an unnecessary throw-back to a time with more rigidly defined gender roles. Both parties would be happier if they could go dutch, at least on the first date.

Women are financially insolvent breeding mules. To expect that mewling milk spouts could afford the sort of meal required to flatter them is sheer fantasy. Even if they could, men should still pay. Men must demonstrate their power in society, of which money is a pretty ace marker. Because once that girl realizes you're interested in her enough to drop forty bucks on a lobster, their heart will be yours.

Whoah! You can really turn a phrase Ryan.

Remember folks, the whole point of this site is to be contrary. So lets not lynch Ryan here. ;-)

Though you used 'somewhat' different language, I do think your conclusion parallels and supports mine very well. You truly are contrary! Yet, you do make sense in the end. Thank you for making me laugh. Humbug to all those who focus on the imagery of the argument and miss the point of it....

I think this whole argument is wrongheaded and offensive. This guy is obviously a bitter virgin who has never paid for much less shared a meal with a woman. Somebody get a rope.

Ryan, I do love your POV: please, do make more arguments! It will be good for all our egos!
