In 2018, NOTHING!!!! In fact, the
cost of the date should be split between both the parties—if not entirely paid
by women. Sadly, there are few reasons why this won’t be happening anytime soon
because, among other reasons, we’re very accustomed with men taking this
initiative. So much so that we unconsciously expect men to pay on dates!
Back in the days, it is men who
would earn money. Women hardly did. So the burden of bearing the cost of dates
or any outing for that matter fell on the shoulder of men. This tradition is
still continuing even till this day.
It should definitely change,
given many women have well-paid job and they are earning decent money these
days.
Again, this won’t happen anytime
soon, even with numbers of progressive women rising.
Many women never take initiative
to pay on dates. They exploit and take advantage of the old tradition that’s no
more relevant. (Not exactly a gold-digger, but few can easily qualify for this
category!)
Another factor
is the men’s chivalrousness. It is believed that men who don’t pay for dates,
or let women pay, aren’t polite. (Yes, it’s that ridiculous!)
