A man should ALWAYS pay. This is "Game 101." There is only one exception to this rule:
1: The relationship is completely platonic and the girl asks you to take her to eat somewhere foreign/expensive.*

*= Even when the meal is her idea, you need to offfer to pay. If she insists, be glad you're not out any money, as this gesture still won't get you any anyway. If you're a true alpha male, take the bill and pay it regardless.

Basically, it shouldn't even be a question of whether or not a guy should pay, no matter the culture. It's basic instinct. There's nothing worse than when a girl PMSs over a guy holding the door for her or other gestures like that.

And if you're a guy and you can't even afford to pay for your girl, then you shouldn't even think about a relationship with her yet. A small dinner is one of the lowest things on the expenses scale you'll need to be ready to afford.


I'm not a cynic; I just like to play Devil's Advocate once in a while.
