Who was the hothead?
What do you mean, "who"? Simply an ex of mine. Great person but emotional regulation issues that I couldn't handle, even more so than my emotional issues (I have autism).

She remains one of my favorite people.

The whole "who ever asks should pay" thing is nonsensical in a social context where men are overwhelmingly expected to do the asking and many women either refuse or don't know how to ask.

That said, there are plenty of women who insist on splitting. Try dating feminists, it'll happen pretty frequently. It's really a matter of individual ideology at this point, which makes things confusing, but I essentially always go prepared to pay and I'm pleasantly surprised if she offers to split or pay.

Men could just collective decide that they would rather be friends with benefits than dating. If you're not dating, you don't pay. You can still do the all the enjoyable things about dating just without the whole social expectation that the man has to pay.

There are no expectations anymore that a man pays all the time when you are dating. The discussion was literally about first dates only.

Try again.

That's really not true though. You can look anywhere online and find women wanting a man that makes lots of money. Also my comment is still relevant to the first date.

I have never had this issue personally, nor anyone I know in recent years.

Of course it happens, but your suggestion of FwB has nothing to do with what most people can experience by simply not dating a gold digger.

Your comment isnt relevant at all, outside of a bizarre fictional hypothetical predicated on an unrealistic and misogynistic male power fantasy.

A show of kindness may not do much help, but a show of cruelty may do much harm.
