If you men had a dinner with your female friends (not wife, not girl friends and not significant other, just common friends) at a restaurant,should you american guys pay for the bill?

Cause an american boy told me that american people like "take turns"???

is this true??

If it's someone I see frequently, we do take turns. For a date, I usually go by whoever did the inviting pays. Otherwise, everyone just pays for their own.

Same here.

I've also got a few friends, male and female, with whom I go out often enough that we usually just split the tab evenly under the assumption that whatever small difference there is in our totals will work itself out eventually.

Yes, bills are split pretty evenly among my friends, male and female. In romantic relationships, it's a little different, but with a non-intimate female friend, I would take turns paying for meals and such.

TDMVPDPOY has a lot of money saved up for just that occasion.

If you're clever, you can use this conundrum to power the drive of a starship.

I guess it's almost everywhere the same. The man takes the bill. When a couple is together for a longer time, than the female can take the bill sometimes too. But still, mostly the man.

Just friends? Everyone should pay their own way.

Date? Depends on who does the asking ...

I've been know to pick up the tab a few times.

Separate checks is what I ask for unless I'm picking up the tab. On our first date we split the tab after that I paid most of the time and still do.

Interesting- I have always had more male friends than female ones, and the male friends often insist on paying, even though we are not on a date and drove separate.

That is just in case opportunity knocks.

I agree. In today's world women should not expect the man to pay.

Splitting checks ends when the amount of a meal and drinks become relatively insignificant to a person's budget. I haven't split checks in a dozen years, regardless of who I'm eating with; somebody grabs the check, and covers the table; almost always a guy. I don't think I've ever let a woman pay for my meal.

:tu and splitting the check and taking turns. It all depends on the relationship.

Doesn't matter. The woman can either pay for it herself out of the man's wallet or let him have his wallet back long enough to get the money out himself.

I think that is more like my circumstances- the cost of a lunch means little to the guy relatively speaking, so he pays for it.

I was raised to pay for everything for a woman and treat her like a goddess. After I realized that my mom was training me to be a husband than a man I stopped paying for my dates' food, movie ticket, whatever and have gotten free meals from ladies since =D

My dad always told me that the one who does the inviting does the paying. It's never steered me wrong.

In the case of a group of people doing dinner, split the bill accordingly.

Women want equal rights, pay your own fucking bill.


If you dont want equal rights, then I'll gladly pay.


Cant have your cake and eat it too.

Do you also expect the cooking and cleaning to be done by the woman?

Also southern hospitality.

Fuck no. I have a job as do all my friends. They earn money too, why not pay for themselves?

I mean, the Road House always has cheap eats. You won't see me footing the bill for a chick unless she goes down on me in the closet.
