Hello People,
This issue has been a source of confusion to everybody (ladies and gentlemen alike). Who is to pay the bill on a date? I’m gonna say a few things before answering this question. No offense to anybody, but if a boy is dragging on the ‘who is gonna pay the bill after a date’ whatever, I’m sorry to say, but said ‘boy’ is in no way ready for a relationship. He is still immature and doesn’t understand that feminism is not against chivalry.

I didn't want to quote all your post, so I just reduced it.

If i am not wrong, Gender Equality is not about women or about playing victims. It's for equal rights and NOT for being equal. It's for men, women, transgenders; basically it's not restricted to any particular gender and is much inclusive. Gender Equality is not something owned by a particular gender just because is has “fem” in it - Picked from Quora.

So it's safe to say that the bill should be splitted 50/50 at all times. Please note the word at all times.

One funny thing I noticed is that, Nigerian Women/Females like you (the Poster) are the only ones complaining of financial inputs of the Male gender in a relationship/marriage.

One of the main reasons why Nigerian men hate feminism is that Our Nigerian Women have painted it like It was made for them. NO. It is for everyone.

So Women should be ready to work their ass off, when the Equality Bill finally drops, There is no free food in Freetown.

Drops mic !

Edit:

I think I mixed Feminism with Gender Equality, they are almost synonyms, but not the same. There are some differences.
Thanks Next2Bezee for pointing that out.

Darling, you ask me out, you pay for the date. I sm wasting valuable minutes of my time to consider why I deem you worthy of my time, my attention and my contributions...
If I ask you out because I see something in you that I want more, I'm gonna pay for the full date no question asked....

When we are in a relationship, if you pick a super pricey place and I earn #80,000.00 to your #360,000 monthly, you don't expect me to drop 20,000 on a date do you. And if I earn more than you I won't expect the same of you. It is a mater of logic. I raised this issue because it seemed to be a matter of controversy among broke ass NL niggers looking for free food.

If the place is within my price range. Say total cost of dinner is #10,000, I don't have a problem paying 50 or 100% of that.
But when you pick the place because you want to make me feel special in that day, you got to pay... Male or female.

Feminism is for both of the sexes honey I agree with you on that.

The stupid idealogy that girls have of:

Only a MAN suggest and sponsors date night... Sexist.

That only the man is responsive for romantic surprises, gifts and gestures... Sexist.
.
The stupid notion of waiting on a MSN to take care of all my needs... I mean why else am I with him... Is as sexist as saying I'm only with a woman for sex...

A man is note than his pocket and a woman more than her body

Feminism is treating people right irrespective of gender.
In my situation, my Man earns about 6 Times my salary... So to the best of my ability and my pocket, I take care of him.
It is financial buoyancy and not sexual organ that determines who takes the lionshare.

Exactly my thoughts on how you would respond.

This is not how it is done when it comes to Equality of rights. There is nothing like Deem worthy? You know why? Because we are both equal in rights.

Deem worthy in this context in it's literal meaning means You're lower than me. And You should be lucky i'm considering you.

If you are asked out to an Expensive place, You simply decline the invitation. It that simple.

There is also nothing like "My attention and my contributions". it should be *Our*

If I ask you out because I see something in you that I want more, I'm gonna pay for the full date no question asked --- This is also wrong. Once you as a lady ask me out (According to laws of equality). We pay 50/50. It doesn't matter who asked who out.

You need to change your Nigerian mentality. Whosoever / Whatsoever you are reading is obviously wrong.

Equality is Equality. Don't change anything OR add to it. It means 50/50 at all times. There is no compromise.

I'm going to bed. I'll reply your mentions tomorrow.

This bull shit doesn't apply in a relationship, or do you need to be told that? How people choose to love is not up for discussion. This is a friendly date.... Love has no rules only solutions.

Love has no rules so I don't think feminism applies in a relationship because people love differently. This topic talks of a date, meaning the first few before a relationship/feelings are established.

It is going to be sexist if the teason he's paying for the full date is because he's a MAN.

No... Even if I am a lesbian, you ask me out, before we get to know each other, you pay.

I understand what you're saying...

@What I quoted, feminism encourages both of the sexes to pursue an interest.
In other words, the chyker can be of any gender without being classified as a cheap forward olosho.
In situation where it is the woman that says, can we continue this some other time, she pays for the date.

You declared interest, and until it is certain your feelings are reciprocated, you're goddamn paying for my attention since I didn't ask for yours.

But a time comes like I stated, I crave you as much as you crave me... Paying for a place or dinner of even #3,000,000.00 is worth it if you're considering the reward of hanging out with your
Significant other. And putting a little chirp in their step.

It is not the money. When it becomes a let's get a calculator and divide what you ate or divide until the last kobo, it is more mechanical than passionate...

Devicing a means of showing your SO he/she's appreciated for more than his money without hurting yourself even if it is by taking him to a #300 buka (if that's all you can afford), is what feminism strives to attain.

Thanks OP.

Waowgringringrin nice question!
Well for me,If you ask a girl out then the answer to the “who pays on a date?” question is a simple one. It’s you. When you invite a girl on a date it’s your responsibility to take care of her. So as a man you should always expect to pay for the date. After all you want her to be able to relax and enjoy her time with you. And that will be difficult if she’s worried about the money she’s spending.
Another reason it’s important for men to pay for a date is that it sends a clear message of your intentions. If you have a woman split the tab with you she may no longer see this as a “date”. She may instead get the message that the two of you are nothing more than friends. If you want to avoid her seeing you in that light then paying for the date will go a long way.

But if she offer's to pay!. She may reach for her purse and suggest once or twice that she can pay half the bill. This may just be a courtesy, and her way of showing that you don’t have to pay for her. But in these situations you want to tell her to put the purse away. Let her see that you want to pay for her. That spending time with her and seeing that she is taken care of is more important than the handful of dollars you’re spending.
Re: Re: Feminists: Who Pays For The Date? by Martin0(m): 11:49pm On Nov 21, 2017
What if she’s really insistent?

It’s not often but every once in a while you
may go on a date with a woman who
absolutely refuses to let you pay for her.

If that’s the case there’s no point fighting
it. Offer to pay for her but if she is really
persistent about it then just split the bill.

There are some good reasons why a
woman may insist on paying for herself.

Maybe she sees it as a point of pride that
she can take care of herself. Maybe she
doesn’t want to feel like she “owes” you
anything. Or maybe she feels guilty when
guys buy her things and she doesn’t want
to feel that way. If her reasoning is
anything like the points mentioned above,
you can actually be doing her a favor and
showing you respect her values by
allowing her to pay for herself.

Well for now,let me watch and see if anymore simple question will come from op againgringringrin

Just helped you highlight the rubbish you took your time to post.

From the bolded, we can see that 70% of your post makes zero sense so we can disregard that. Let me help you with definitions since you seemed to struggle with those.

Feminism - The advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes. Women's Rights! It has nothing to do with men so it is NOT for both sexes.

Egalitarianism - Believing in or based on the principle that all people are equal and deserve equal rights and opportunities.

Who defined this for you.
It is as dumb as saying the fight against racism is only for the black... It is a fight against stereptypic discrimination based of race. The fact that the blacks where the most affected by this doesn't make it a fight just for them.

The fact that women are most affected by sexism doesn't make it theirs alone.
