Why does it seems like women are paying more than the man in the relationship. I thought the man should pay?

you thought the man should pay?

depends on what the occasion is. in an actual relationship, both should be willing to be equal (time & money). there are things the man should pay (especially if he's wanting to take her out). just like there are times the woman should pay (for when she wants to take him out).

if you really think the man should be paying for everything ... then, sorry to say, you're a gold digger in training (not attractive, btw).

That's gender roles. I guess that's what you saw in your life; the man paying more than the women, it happens a lot, but it doesn't have to be that way.

So either way is fine.

If you're the one doing most/all the paying-you're dating a cheap man who just wants a sugar momma.

I pay most of the time unless my fiance feels like pampering and indulging me with dinner out or going to the movies or a surprise date. Sometimes we pay 50/50.

I pay a lot more than my girlfriend does. But i'd imagine it's because women are wayyyyyy more materialistic than guys are.

I guess because women have more expensive clothes

I pay for more things than my husband but I also make a lot more money than he does.

Depends on what you mean by 'pay'. Women, generally, 'pay' more in emotional terms but not always in fiscal terms although even that is not always true.
I gave up a good job, sold my home, to be with a man. Two months later he died. So I paid both emotionally and financially because I had subsidised his family and paid their bills and then found I had to use my savings to find myself a new life, new job and rented accommodation.
So, my savings have become very depleted. Horses for courses - I made my choices and have to live with the consequences of them.

I think that depends in how much money you earn or have at that moment, when I was young, single and dating I used to pay my expenses..I was financially stable so I never had that kind of troubles, but if they insist.. be my guest. Now married it doesnÂ´t matter who does it, money comes from the same account, our family business.

Welcome to equal opportunity.

Either find a man who makes more money than you or enjoy the fact that men are finally giving woman a more control. You know, all those years that woman have been fighting for equality and rights. You got it now. I guess some men think that it is their turn to bring up the rear.

If u both have a tough financial situation i could see splitting things dating is expensive. If a guy expects u to pay all the time he either 1) is looking for a sugar momma or 2) has someone to answer to as to where he spends his money.

Relationship= equal. I dont want a free ride, i will pull my weight. I think now more then ever woman HAVE to pay because so many men who worked are laid off due to the economy. Alot of men are laborers and can no longer work in this economy. I dont think men want the woman to pay, i think they feel unwanted or useless.

The man should pay. That's the way it is. However, it doesn't mean that the woman should make him spend every cent that he has on her. After marriage, everything is 50-50.

I got to agree with Jacob

Men who pay for something will expect something back

Just like when a man buys you a drink at the bar. If a woman takes the drink , that means that she accepted that mans invitation to come talk to her....

I usually pay for everything at hime and when my wife and i go out. but i dont mind , she is my wife. if i was with some skank at diner or at the bar. Im just paying for stuff until i get in them pants.
Nothing more nothing less, But i usually dont mind paying for my dates... **** i work at a firm , i make good money . Guys just have to know when NOT to pay.

So Ladies, be careful on what you let a man payfor, he may be expecting something in return. i know i will be

Please be more specific. Are you referring to the money paid on dates? The money paid for living expenses? Some payment other than money? Please give an example.

Bibi

NONAME

if you are married you don't have your own money.
