I read your post above & agree.
What's so commonly forgotten when talk of money & equality enter a dating discussion is that...women still make less & do more, and have pressures and costs to "look" good that men don't have. I mean -- and this floors me every month -- we still live in a society where women are actually *taxed* on tampons, which cost an arm & a leg compared to what they're made from. *grin*
If a guy wants to go even-steven, maybe he also wants to date a woman that's like a guy...stick me in a pair of chinos, cut my hair nice & short & easily stylable with some gel, and I'll be good to go in 5 minutes.
Not that being low-key as a woman doesn't have it' place. I'm lazy & busy and take whatever short-cuts I can. But I'm making a point...
"Equal cost" doesn't necessarily get split over the dinner tab. There's far more going into the equation.
