Michael, it may shock you to know I do ask men out, but rarely. And the reason is because the ones I like keep things traditional. They are more into their masculinity. The ones I ask out, we just hook up or go with friends with benefit.

You see I don't do commitment so when I ask a guy out it's because there’s nothing serious down the road. So whether I pay or he does, isn’t a problem for me.

As for ending dates over who pays and who doesn't, I'm cool with that. I believe what's ment to be will be. If I or the guy ends a date over such petty matter then we are doing each other favors.

I support equal partnership wholly and I wish men could stop feeling emasculated when a woman takes their role in the relationship.

Until now majority of men feel humiliated when a woman asks them out. So how do you expect women to be confident in taking that role with a stranger she doesn't know his take on the new dating culture?

If a guys knows he only wants to date women who pay their own share when the eat out, that's cool. But let the woman know this is what you want the moment you fix the date. It's that simple. If she likes you it won't be a deal for her.

And if she doesn't, that's cool too. At least you will know you don't have to waste your time and money pursuing her.
