very true. We are told nothing more than all of societies current ills are the result of men and more specifically, white men. I think a lot of us are pretty fed up especially when double standards are everywhere.
I know of a lot of guys that are starting to have to gonads to stand up for themselves again. I think the pendulum is starting to swing back the other way a bit which wouldnt be a bad thing (hopefully this time it will stop in the middle)

Haha, don't misinterpret what I said as any kind of generalization or formula. I was just saying that in my experience, women who've offered to pay turned out to have other motives (or no motive at all, they were just being polite).
Keep in mind I'm just talking about the first few dates... obviously when it becomes a relationship things change.
I'm not trying to say that it's "that weird" - maybe I'm just meeting the wrong women.
no the sad thing is i know several people who expect the guy to pay for everything...which is complete bullshit when it's expected.
so i'm not saying you're totally off base.
more people should be like me hehe

More people should learn to be independant and appreciate people for their company and not for how much they think they can leach from them.

Glad to see we're on the same page then.
I used to be bitter about it but I've mellowed out over time. There are assholes and cheapskates, and there are bitches and gold-diggers. Both sexes have their issues, their quirks, their stereotypes.
There once was a day when we'd joke about these things and it was OK even if wasn't politically correct. Even if those jokes were rooted in truth, everybody knew that they were jokes. Now people have lost their sense of humour and become bitter... it's sad.
