Yeah, that is usually true, though for me its often tempered by knowing what the guy can truly afford. There are friends that always pay my way when we are out, regardles of who extended the invitation, and they would be offended if I offered to contribute. But my closest (male) friend cannot afford both of our appetites for sushi and I would never allow him to pay the entire bill.
I would suggest that most women expect the man to cover all expenses on a date, unless it has been made explicitly clear otherwise.
