It's funny. When men were the educated ones and out earning women, they didn't call it "dating down" and "settling" when they were looking for a partner. They provided and did their part.

But as soon as women started being more "successful" than men...it's "ewww I rather stay single than settling and dating down, gross".

Over the years I've dated quite a lot of successful, strong, independent women. But it never ceased to amaze me how many of them where literally disgusted or shocked when I either suggest or asked about their opinions on splitting the bill on a bar date. Not all of them of course but a significant percentage. Imagine feeling insulted for the suggestion to pay for your own drinks. The entitlement is mine boggling.

I know a scro who did a mancamp stint at an oil field in the Dakotas for couple years.

Already divorced, said "frick it" and left his stable job.

Homeboy had never been to college and he cleared 130K+ per year just because of OT rates. Of course the only things he did were work, drink, jerk, sleep, but isn't that what any married man aspires to?

He walked away with a dozen certs and qualifications and mechanical skills that a Mech E M.S. would be jealous of. No degree, but now he's "the guy you call."

That life is a young man's game. Back when I was doing field research we did a mancamp thing at one site. It's not too bad, two units split a shower and shitter. The water was hot and they fed us well.

At this particular worksite the only things to drink were everyone's abandoned booze bottles and unlimited Monsters. I'm pretty sure everyone was blackout drunk all the time but at least they were white knuckle assfricked at the same time.

In ye olde days there was a huge stigma against dating someone from a different social class. :marseyconfused2: If my dad was planning to bring a girl home, the first question he'd get asked is "what does her father do?" and the second was "she is Catholic, isn't she?"

According to my grandma in her house it was something like

"Is he of kraut descent like us?" Followed by "he's not a lutheran right?"

During that era, there were definitely "trophy wives" and "starter wives" (for men who married early, made money later, and "traded up").

Same same but different.

A nice response where they both misunderstand what a trophy wife is (a guy with a trophy wife isn't settling), follow it with something that wasn't ever really a thing outside of like celebrities if it even was then, and then the point of their reply is completely missing.

Yeah I'm sure starter wives were a thing when divorce was just as destructive economically to men ( :marseythinkorino: ) as today, and on top was also social suicide...

This just ends up being "my just-so story is so much better than your just-so story!"

The real idiocy is coming from Richard Reeves who thinks that depriving boys of schooling during the most critical phase of development (early childhood) is going to somehow improve things. It will make it worse, and it won't even be obvious until an entire generation has been stunted.

@ObamaBinLaden never split the bill with any of the women @ObamaBinLaden have drinks with. Mainly too not let them see that @ObamaBinLaden have been ordering the waiter too serve @ObamaBinLaden 0% beer in mugs for the last few hours. She sees you are far and above the best behaved and most caring guy she's ever had a drink with, she'll let you clap almost 80% of the time.

The only reason feminists complain about the man paying the bill is because they think it creates an expectation that things will progress further. It has nothing to do with them wanting to provide for themselves or any sense of equality. To them, the best case scenario is that the man pays the bills but doesn't expect anything in return - but most feminists realize how entitled that sounds out loud so they publicly state they prefer splitting the bill, when doing so absolutely gives them "the ick".

Or they default to the old,"whoever initiated the date should pay" as though gender norms don't exist,and women NEVER try to actually hook up a real date. Remember bumble or that girl app, where women were so fricking shit they enbled them to first send bot replies.

You ideally want to date a woman who makes solid enough money to contribute, but still less than you.
