Eww and no.
First date
He asked me out
He should pay



I'm still not understanding this gap in logic..."he asked me out" followed by "he should pay". There is no logical connection between those two when you are acting like the two are intrinsically linked. WHY does asking you out mean he should pay?


Because he asked me out to go do that? So if he's the one who asked then yes he can pay


You're just repeating your circular logic, "he asks so he should pay"/"he pays because he asked", when I'm telling you there is no logical connection between "he asks" so "he should pay". Can you actually tell me why "asking" means the guy "should pay" without using circular logic?

For example, if you said "he asked" and "going out with him is beneath me so I should be compensated" so "he should pay", that'd make logical sense, it'd be a terrible argument, but it does make logical sense.

Now, the only argument I can think of is "it's steeped in tradition for the man to pay" but again my entire point is that things that are steeped in tradition are often found to be wrong in 2017, ie slavery was deeply steeped in tradition. I'm not saying the two are equivalent, I'm saying everything should be examined for practicality in this modern age.

Now, if you actually have a case to make, I would love to hear it, but your argument seems based in social conditioning (which is often also wrong) and what is ingrained in you rather than practical logical facts. If you just flat out don't want to pay, there is nothing wrong in admitting that, that's one of the benefits of being a woman, in that you can get away with that. I'm waiting.
