Should Men Always Pay on the First Date? Podcast Guest Weighs In

In a recent podcast interview, a man shared his perspective on who should pay on a first date. He stated, "I usually pay, unless I'm having a bad time." This sparked a discussion about modern dating norms and financial expectations. While he generally covers the cost, he's had dates where women offered to split the bill, and he's even left money on the table when a date was particularly unpleasant. This highlights the evolving dynamics of dating and the varying approaches individuals take.
