DON'T PAY FOR DATES (Dating Advice for Men and Women)

Why does a person pay for someone that they don't even know while out on dates? Is it because they're trying to win that person's affection and approval by paying for his or her food or entertainment? Or maybe it's because they've been though that it's the right and polite thing to do? Traditionally, a man would ask a woman out on a date, take her out on the town, spend an hour or two trying to get to know her, pay for everything and end the night taking her home, and probably get a hug and a kiss on the cheek goodnight. It's obvious that women benefited highly from that old way of dating which left men at a disadvantage.

Currently, the dating scene has changed. More and more women are becoming financially independent now and are offering to pay for dates. This fact helps to balance the dating scene for both sexes. Why? Because dating should be a fair and equal investment between two parties. Personally, Intellectually, and Financially. Furthermore, people tend to appreciate what they've worked hard for. It's basic human psychology. So why should the benefits of dating be one sided when it can be spread equally between two people. Realize that most of the people that you date will not be compatible with you. This is why you should not place a full financial investment on any of them. You'll just end up broke and discouraged! And please, don't call your get together a "date", it only adds pressure to the occasion. Instead, just call it a meetup, honestly try to get to know the person that you're with, and see where things go from there. And remember that dating is a screening and filtering process. After you've screened and filtered a person's behavior, character, integrity, honesty and consistency, is when you can increase the amount of investment that you want to place on them.
