No more "who pays" posts

The mod team has decided from here on out, there will be a moratorium on any sort of "who pays" on dates posts. It's always the same thing over and over and over again that serves zero purpose except to give people an excuse to shit on the opposite gender.

There are already plenty of past posts about this topic and if you're genuinely confused about it, go do a search about it.

Simply put, if you're a man, be prepared to spend money to cover your date's food/drinks/activity. If you don't have the wherewithal to do that or if you have some sort of "policy", then you're either not ready to date, should plan cheaper dates, or don't go out with people who expect certain things you don't want to provide.

If you're a woman, be prepared to at least have enough money to cover your share of food/drinks/activity. While you are free to decide however you want in regards to the worthiness of a person based on whether they are willing to pay for you or not on a date, you can't expect everyone to always pay for you. If you can't pay for at least your share, then don't agree to dates which cost more than you can afford or do cheaper dates.

And if you're so adamant about this, then make your intentions known before the date or speak up about it when the check comes. Yes, it may cost you any future dates. It's up to you to decide how strongly you feel about it.

Other than that, people all have their preferences and these posts always end up with arguments where everyone digs in their heels about their beliefs and no one comes out the wiser.
