Just because women make less than men, doesn't mean that women make less than men for the same job. Wrong stat Silke .

Even though this thread has really gone off on a tangent, I think we all collectively agree that men shouldn't be expected to pay for the date. I don't see anyone agruing otherwise. Now we're just arguing about inequalities in the workplace.

Originally posted by timmyboy you can't take average income to indicate that women are earning less. you have to take men and women on the same job, same qualifications etc.

i understand your point but tell that to StatsCan. it's not my research.

hahaha!! Dave the Defender!! ...

well, anyhow, perhaps you should portay what u say differently cos this is the impression i got from your choice of words!

"My boyfriend pays for everything, and I mean everything!! He won't even let me pay for starbucks! Every dinner, movie, everything. I offer to pay, he won't let me at all.

quite the emphasis, no? it makes it look like you don't have a choice ... that's what i'm saying!


BUT on a more positive note, - if you're truly happy with your relationship as you say, i'm happy for you! sorry for the misunderstanding.
