Case 1: complaining about a date insisting on picking up the check as it makes them feel less independent.
Case 2: agreeing on 50/50, then being upset about why the date never picks up the check or treats them after 3 months of dating

In both cases, posted 5 days apart, they were advised to find someone else as it seems their date doesn’t respect their values (case 1) or value them enough to spend money on them (case 2).

Well, just 🤯

It appears to me that people don’t know how to communicate. That’s the real issue. I don’t know how you guys can be doing nasty things to each other but don’t know how to communicate your needs.

You asked the question. The answer is priorities.

Just pay and if they object, tell them they got you next time. 😉

To be fair, you could probably make that argument for anything. Maybe OP just really needs some advice

More proof we're living in a simulation

If she doesn't pay, I feel like she didn't really commit to the date, and I certainly wouldn't have sex with her.

Perhaps different people (women?) need and want different things from their partners? I don’t think that’s so hard to understand.

If you find it confusing, you could ask the people you intend to date their preference and/or communicate yours…
