Splitting the bill equally (or equitably i guess) and treating each other is good if you're already dating. But if it's a first date or something with a stranger, just pay for your own shit. I mean you never know what kind, or amount, of stuff the other person is gonna order, the money could start to pile up and then even splitting it won't be fair.
It is sexism. Not just the same level. misandry rarely kill, abuse, rape etc and the fact that a lot of men canāt see that tells me we have long days ahead of us
Can we just stop a moment and acknowledge that this woman is being sexist, holding men to a different standard than women, and expecting men to foot the bill for everything is female privilege?
Yes but it's sexism against men, which, of course, doesn't actually exist, because cis men are the villains of today's society. My source on 2x told me so.
Some people never learn that people come in many different shades of personality, sex, gender, skin color, religion, etc. They think the world fits into boxes and those boxes can have defined borders.
We call those people idiots, roll our eyes, and hope that one day they realize how stupid they sound to everyone around them.
there was a "dates from hell" show and the woman wants 2 lobster tails because one didn't sound like enough food. 6ish ounces, yeah I get that. 2x $40 lobsters? naw you're pressing your luck. I know it's staged, and I know it's fiction, but you know I would get you a lobster dinner if you promise to only buy 1 lobster dinner
Christ, why is the idea that both people should pay their own way on a first date so controversial to some people?
You're meant to be trying to date this person, not treat them like a free meal ticket. It's cruel to treat people like that, have some basic respect and pay for your own food/drinks!
Because back in the day when women were expected to be housewives (no income of their own) it was proof that the man they were dating could/would provide for them and their future family.
Further back than that, you're looking at dowrys or just outright buying a wife.
It's survived as "men pay for dates" and buy gifts for their lover.
The fact that you don't know this gives me great hope for the future.
Well I mean we obviously come a long way from that, so it shouldn't be expected from the get go, right? Women are no longer pigeonholed to being housewives and can earn income themselves now.
Also for a little disclosure, I'm more talking about those girls who would order like 90 dollar lobster and 30 dollar wine when you would order a 20 dollar meal and a beer and expect YOU to pay for their meal like some fucking sugardaddy on the first date (Yes I know it's not original, but you still get what I mean, right?)
And who said I DIDN'T know?
I am surprised that people like this that expect everything handed to them don't die by walking into walls assuming people will break them down for them.
If somebody asks me on a date, I kinda think they should pay. If I ask them on a date, Iām intending to pay for it. If itās online and we mutually agree after talking that weād like to go on a date together , split.
There are different dynamics of every relationship... if she wants a man to take care of her.. I hope she finds it and is happy with it... The thing that sucks about her comment is the generalization... it's too bad a large part of humanity still holds up so many expectations by what gender you are.
Or perhaps thereās an actual etymology of it.
Itās from the French *menu de repas*, meaning ālist of whatās at a meal,ā which is from French *menu* meaning āsmall, detailed,ā which is from Latin words all based on the Latin root *minus*, meaning āto diminishā
My girl can't even spell "restaurant" correctly š
Her autocorrect didn't even want to warn her that she was gonna get roasted for that catastrophic spelling?
It's had enough of her shit too!!
Not even auto correct could save her from that disaster
Didn't happen- she was sautƩed.
Girls that can't afford their own meals often can't spell either
Can't afford autocorrect :D
Just another reason to never date her.
well, not more than once.
Meh, sure there are just as pretty girls with just as good or better personality and view points than her.
She's breathing in too much makeup fumes
"Raustarant" Clearly we have a future atom splitter on our hands here.
Yeah, deacon the comeback king up there is better than me for being able to slide past that spelling and keep his eye on the prize
Not a bill splitter though š
Canāt, sheās saving up for those English lessons
"want you improve English? Telephone now" [https://imgur.com/a/xyUub6C](https://imgur.com/a/xyUub6C)
Sweet of you to think she ever cared about education.
Wtf is a raustarant??? Yeah, always the dusties asking men to pay lol
Jamaican food
Oh... š³
dangerous. The words seem to be fusion her
Huh?
Since it's "men", and not "man", only when dating two or more men they have to pay her part as well. Checkmate
So if you're gay, you guarantee split bills?
Sounds wonderful
Itās Fab u lous
Does this mean lesbian couples get free meals at restaurants
No but they get to eat out for free at home š¤Ŗ
Well that's a knee slapper
Tickled my ribs if I do say so myself.
I don't even know how this managed to get upvotes.
what have you done!
#THANK GOD I NEVER BEEN TO A RAUSTARANT
I get typos and autocorrect happen. But if you create a whole new word and post with confidence you are really something else.
this exactly lol, if you're gonna post a hot take and don't even proofread it for mistakes, don't expect to *not* be flamed
That's a red flag. Once I just paid my part and stared back at the girl who was furious about it. Bullet effing dodged.
Imo both parties should split it. However you split it is up to you. Responsibility shouldnāt fall on only one party. It should fall on both.
Lesbians eat for free!
Splitting the bill equally (or equitably i guess) and treating each other is good if you're already dating. But if it's a first date or something with a stranger, just pay for your own shit. I mean you never know what kind, or amount, of stuff the other person is gonna order, the money could start to pile up and then even splitting it won't be fair.
Exactly. Just pay for your own stuff. That way if it doesn't work out, nobody has to feel hard done.
and there are no "assumed obligations"
What is š“š“āļø even supposed to convey?
Way is misandry not being seen as sexim when not only it is, but also same level as misogynism
Because women are equal until it doesn't serve them and then they are not.
It is sexism. Not just the same level. misandry rarely kill, abuse, rape etc and the fact that a lot of men canāt see that tells me we have long days ahead of us
It is, most people would look at this and think she's an idiot. Anyone that thinks she's right, is also an idiot. The world is full of them.
because it's misanderstood.
Can we just stop a moment and acknowledge that this woman is being sexist, holding men to a different standard than women, and expecting men to foot the bill for everything is female privilege?

sadly there's even more of them now and i'm sound like an insane person
there was a "dates from hell" show and the woman wants 2 lobster tails because one didn't sound like enough food. 6ish ounces, yeah I get that. 2x $40 lobsters? naw you're pressing your luck. I know it's staged, and I know it's fiction, but you know I would get you a lobster dinner if you promise to only buy 1 lobster dinner
If I heard ' two lobster tails' I'd say 'cancel my order', get up and walk out.
Thank god i dont date girls who spell raustarant
its your responsibility thats why it ends with U
if it's a men's duty to pay, your duty is to make him wanna pay
If I'm expected to pay for you to then I'm going alone.
I'll gladly pay the bill when you learn how to spell.
Christ, why is the idea that both people should pay their own way on a first date so controversial to some people? You're meant to be trying to date this person, not treat them like a free meal ticket. It's cruel to treat people like that, have some basic respect and pay for your own food/drinks!
No worries, I've never been to a raustarant before.
Why do so many women expect the guy to pay for it? It's an act of generosity from us, not a damn necessity.
Because back in the day when women were expected to be housewives (no income of their own) it was proof that the man they were dating could/would provide for them and their future family. Further back than that, you're looking at dowrys or just outright buying a wife. It's survived as "men pay for dates" and buy gifts for their lover.

And who said I DIDN'T know?
So whatās her ādutyā after two or three dates ?
Sex is primarily the object of this game
...the hell's a 'raustarant'?!
I like paying, but I only like paying for someone who would pay for themselves without a thought.
People with a mindset as hers are utter garbage
Why donāt men want to date anymore??? Hookers are cheaperā¦ā¦
I don't think it would hurt if she payed her part and he paid his.
I donāt know.. Thatās why M e Nu
if we have to argue about the little things, I don't think we're a fit
"Not Cheryl" got owned big time.
Just glancing over that U part, huh, bitch?
She can't spell for shit
That kind of a person shouldn't be in a relationship.
Giga Chad moment
God tier comeback.
Rausturant lol
Itās Americaās school systems job to teach her to spell restaurant too
He could of took the easy shot on her spelling but instead was hilarious
I am surprised that people like this that expect everything handed to them don't die by walking into walls assuming people will break them down for them.
Itās obvious that the man should pay, itās called a āBillā not a āClaireā
All ya'll 'she can't spell restaurant' couldn't fucking spell it without autocorrect. stfu
It sounds like you just can't spell restaurant, you the chick?
yup just me
Thatās actually more wholesome than you think
Repeat after me, both of these parties are fucking stupid.
How's the guy stupid? Paying your own way on a first date is how it should be. Means nobody has to feel hard done if it doesn't work out.
I'll pay the bill at the raustarant, as soon as you find said establishment. Stupid twat.
Or its however we decide to handle a bill and menu is a term derived from French and then latin before it.
Clever comeback or bad Reddit joke writing?
Wow an actual clever comeback on this sub
So why is it called āmenuā??
It's a french word
So like let's take the first ones position, what if there is no man involved?
Nice take
In fact it's Bill's responsibility.
The perfect clap back
Etymology says they are both wrong.
if it's the man's duty to pay, then do lesbian couples get free meals?
Raustarant ugh
The person who OFFERS to take you out should be the one to pay
Ok dishwasHER nice logic u got there
People who can't spell restaurant are certainly not about to tell me that someone should pay for them
Only Williams have to pay, that's why it's called a "Bill"
Guess I'm never dating. Meh.
I thought I was evil when I zeroed in on "raustarant" ... now just giggling over all the other snarky folks like me that are out there!
If somebody asks me on a date, I kinda think they should pay. If I ask them on a date, Iām intending to pay for it. If itās online and we mutually agree after talking that weād like to go on a date together , split.
Or it depends on you both perceiving it the same way????
She's not so smart after all
There are different dynamics of every relationship... if she wants a man to take care of her.. I hope she finds it and is happy with it... The thing that sucks about her comment is the generalization... it's too bad a large part of humanity still holds up so many expectations by what gender you are.
If you spend on the gas to drive I'm paying for food
how often do you get a bill at a 'raustarant'?
Ok I will pay under 1 condition you best me at a spelling bee. I win you pay deal?
Or perhaps thereās an actual etymology of it. Itās from the French *menu de repas*, meaning ālist of whatās at a meal,ā which is from French *menu* meaning āsmall, detailed,ā which is from Latin words all based on the Latin root *minus*, meaning āto diminishā
Ya no Iād never just let a guy pay for my food, it isnāt right. Even if we were married if we had separate bank accounts then Iāll pay on my own
Women's autonomy and independency, hard-conquered along decades, is sometimes sadly used only when fit their convenience.
