Would you date a feminist?

Post Reply New Topic

when i ask the guy out, i pay.

That's noble of you, but if your profile is correct, you are 59 years old, and thus at least twice as mature as the average 18-30 year old female.

How many women in your experiences have you come across that you can honestly say would do the same?

From my experiences, of the dates I've been on, even if I asked, they wanted to pay individually for themselves while I pay for myself.

Even my second girlfriend's mother payed for me when I had dinner with her family, but of course encouraged me to 'treat her' in future dates with my gf.

My rule is, first three dates, whoever asks pays, then from that point on it's split the bill.

Not paying individually. That's such a foreign concept it threw me off both times it happened to me.

I was so happy when I at last stealthily payed for my dates drink one time (bought two cokes. "You drink a lot of coke." she said. Lol. "It's for YOU!" I said.)

Anyway, I know I may make a big deal out of who pays for dates, but usually it says a lot about the other person.

A woman who simply demands you always pay for her entirely, probably has an entitlement complex.

You can't assume a woman who pays for herself would...

i also paid in my earlier days.

Well i did have a woman pay on a date which was not expected, I insisted but she made more money than me, it was awkward i did not expect that at all, she was married but wanted to sleep with me but I refused. Is that feminism or being with the wrong horny desperate woman at the wrong time?

sounds like she was looking for a boy toy. good for you for not getting mixed up in that.

Yeah, it would have made things very complicated, and I don't like drama.

I would date someone open minded, like my ideal guy would have no qualms about cleaning the toilet, but not some one who just repeated tropes they get off Buzzfeed, Jezebel and Jessica Valenti articles.

I saw a Cracked video on YouTube the other day where they made fun of Jerry Seinfeld for being out of touch. Well he is a bit, but one of the things he said that was ridiculed was: "my wife said something to my daughter about hanging out in New York and meeting guys. My daughter said: 'that's sexist!'"

That right there is a trope that a teenager has lifted off the Internet.

Yes, it's sexist to imply that young women should only be concerned about boys and not be interested in learning, but that's not what her Mom said. All she was doing was supporting her kid's normal desire to meet someone she is attracted to. That's not sexist. Sigh.

LOL....I barely know what a "trope" is---so I won't be repeating any tropes any time soon.

For some reason, I've always wanted to go bowling with a woman. It happened a few times with my ex-fiancé--but it wasn't the same thing. She didn't really know how to bowl, and she didn't really want to learn. All she wanted to do is to throw the bowling ball on my foot as a joke.

If I install an air conditioner she will not date me! Sorry but I like feeling cool when its 45 degrees C outside!

I pay my share regardless.
I have had men mildly flip out over this and say that I was "emasculating" them.

I think this should be standard.

I don't understand why Date should be considered an invitation, it's just an outing with someone you wanna get to know.
When any friend suggests to me "Let's go out and eat" , we go out and eat and everyone pays his share, he/she won't pay my meal, I won't pay for his/her meal... - but suddenly when there's a d*** and p**** involved, one has to pay for the other's meal? Wtf?.

Man paying meal for a woman in a date is chauvinist in origin; and when woman is paying meal for a man in a date, she is simply doing a counter to this tradition.

Depends, is she an attractive or unattractive feminist?

If she gets preachy, combative, or zealous about it probably not.

Then it's not a date. It is going out as friends. The younger generation and the feminist movement is what screwed up the tradition of dating. Now everything is supposed to be "equal". Now everything is all screwed up. I prefer tradition.

When you dine with a new female friend, you pay your part.

When you dine with a new female friend who makes more money than you, you still pay your part.

But suddenly when c*** is involved , the man has to pay your part? Why?

Because it's tradition apparently. I guess some people prefer to be left behind when the world moves on...
