I suppose I'm different... although splitting the cost.. to some extent evenly works for me.. for the most part, I've found I have more disposal income than those I've come in contact with.. I'll bear the larger burden.. but I think people, regardless of gender or orientation should be able to pay their own way... from what I've read here and lots of other online situations.. I've found women end up stranded... but yes, ultimately, having the resources to take care of yourself is what I'm really after... quote:

you want to meet someone? pay for it.. . you want him to pay... then you should likely be willing to put out.. sorry.. but I think of it that way... if anyone wants to visit me, they can pay.. and if I want to visit.. I'll pay.. then I'm responsible ... in the end, both parties should take care of their own expenses... that's my way of thinking... perhaps I'm out of it.. but if I can't afford it, I'm not doing it.. and if the other party can't.. sorry.. no one is that appealing that I'm going to pay a lot of money for a first meeting.. dinner, maybe.. but transportation? Nope... It sounds like you're contradicting yourself a bit here. What if both parties want to meet? One person should not have to take on the burden of paying for all of their expenses if *they* are travelling to meet someone else. If that's the case, then that person's expenses will be in the hundreds of dollars, whereas the other person (who stayed home) only dishes out a few bucks. That just isn't fair, to me. I don't want to meet anyone badly enough to go broke meeting them, and I make a good salary. For me, a person who is willing to split the cost with me is probably pretty interested in meeting me, and not just for a quick lay, since they have to put out some time, effort, and greenbacks for it...just as I do. I do agree that one should always have the resources to make it back home, in case something goes wrong.
