      Eh that’s a personal rule. We had that for a while but it quickly was clear it was unfair. There are a ton of expectations that one person invites the other, it just doesn’t work out. First date I’d say play over the check, everything after that hopefully is a 50/50, or if one person can’t afford becomes a conversation.

          Society didn’t determine that so much as biology did.

          Regardless, splitting the bill on a date is so completely different and not comparable to splitting shared marital assets during a divorce.

            Oh. I forgot the part where I invite people to dinner with my penis.

            Ridiculous.

            We are SO far removed from biology that to consider it in social situations is just silly.

              It’s the whole women get pregnant thing that I was referencing, my dude.

              I always split bills on the first date regardless of the gender of my date. If men went behind my back to pay the entire bill after I said I wanted to split, I would never see them again.

              There’s plenty of women that have their own money. If you don’t want to date a woman who doesn’t want to split on dates, just don’t date her.
