Reply #245: way back when i did [View All]

[seabeyond]

firstly... i was making as much as guys, fair is fair
second, i dont owe anyone anything ever
third, i hear men whine about paying, too much
fourth, want equally, have to be equal
and did i say, it is only fair when i am making as much as they are.

they are all very strong reasons for me. the men would bulk when they asked me out and i said, i pay part. either dinner, or movie or what ever we decide. men had a hard time with it. but a hard and fast rule. it was fun, and funny, and chuckle with them being uncomfortable to the point they appreciated it and probably took a step forward in progressiveness and became more comfortable with it.

when son started dating, i could not believe this had not changed. did a poll on du adn as many men as women insisted they men needed to pay

surprised the shit out of me

another conversation son and i have. want the equality and the perks, too.
