Yesterday I posted on Reddit about an outfit for a date, and later I updated people on how the date went. In that update, I mentioned that I paid. I kind of did it as a power move, but not in a bad way. More like, for the first time in my life, I actually could. Up until recently I was a broke university student, so I was never really in a position to treat someone. I always made sure I went on dates I could afford, and I would have been fine paying my half, but most of the time the guy paid and it never became an issue. This time, though, it felt really nice to be able to pay for the date myself and treat the person I was with. The reactions from men were very mixed. Some said it was sweet, especially because this was not a random stranger but a childhood friend I had not seen in a long time, so there was already history there. Others said it was emasculating and a big no on a first date. That made me wonder whether people only think it is sweet because of the specific context, or whether men generally do not like it when a woman pays. submitted by /u/Willing_Werewolf_325
