Is a man not a gentleman just because he doesnt pay for every or most date ?

Question

what do you think?

Answer 1

Who cares if he's a gentleman or not? I'd rather be treated equally than gently.

Answer 2

I think what is worse is women who expect the man to pay for everything on a date, it's rude.  

Answer 3

I rather feel like my time with someone new is b/c I want and he wants to be together.  Start putting all kinds of expectations on that time, like he has to pay, or I have to sleep with him if I want to see him again.  Just kinda kills the light hearted mood....so s***w that.

Being a gentleman has nothing to do with paying for all the meals.  

Answer 4

If that's what makes a gentleman (paying for every or most dates), then no thanks!

A gentleman is polite and courteous, not a doormat or an ATM.

Answer 5

I don't pay for anything until the 5th date....and IF she's worth my time and money.  I view paying for a date as a way of paying for attention.  That's the best way to have a woman lose interest in you and think of you as needy or wussy.

Why the 5th date?  Because all men want to treat women well.  I'm not exception to this.  And if you've gone out with her that many times, then by paying is more being a gentleman and "nice", than having it come off as needy, wussy, and buying her attention.

Answer 6

no.

Answer 7

A prefer a man than a gentleman. A gentleman is about being polite, being a man is so much more.

Answer 8

That is bullsh*t. I always split it with my dates. Feminists cry about equality all the time.... then YOU pay for YOUR fck*ng steak.

Answer 9

it's tradition to pay  for a men when he is in dating.

some times she can pay, it's very normal. it does not mean that he is not a gentlemen.

ha. ha, you can pay or not, you are very gentleman.

Answer 10

no! he can still be a gentleman.

my boyfriend pays for half the dates, and i pay for the other half. we spoil eachother.

it's called a give-take relationship.

now, i understand that other couples may do it differently, but this is the way we like it.

besides, i like treating him out to do things, it makes me feel good inside.

Answer 11

I find the idea of having a man pay for all dates, or even more than half of them utterly abhorrent. I work for a living and am fully capable of paying my share.

Any man who insisted on paying all the time would not be dating me for very long.

Answer 12

I wouldn't think any less of the guy if he didn't pay for my meals. In fact, whenever my fiance and I go out for a meal etc, I always pay for my half.

It's only fair.
