Reasons from women why we, men, should pay…
![]()
This is from a mail I got from a friend. Just reproducing it down there. It is quite funny, does have some logic in it and is definitely misogynistic. Pictures taken from the site Fotosearch.
1- Men earn more than women for the same job.
False. Such skewed statistics as “women earn about 75 cents for every dollar a man earns” represent outdated, selected data still promoted by radical feminists who insist on portraying women as angelic victims of a “man’s world.”According to the U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Bureau of the Census, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (among others), the wage gap simply does not exist for women with bachelor’s degrees, even in such “male-dominated” fields as architecture and engineering.
And many similarly-educated women aged 35 to 44 actually earn more than their male counterparts.
Moreover, studies by these same organizations show that men consistently work longer hours than women at the same job, so, in essence, women are earning a higher hourly wage.
Where a wage gap does exist it can easily be accounted for by: job experience (according to The Journal of Labor Economics , full-time employed women have 20% less job experience than men); larger numbers of men in their 50s and 60s who are earning bigger salaries based on time and experience; female job choices (women often seek out jobs with less income potential such as teaching or retail, or are less dangerous than certain higher-paid male-dominated occupations, such as firefighting and construction); longer male hours at work (men work 90% of overtime hours); the large percentage of female part-time workers which distort the statistics; and the time women take off from work for child-rearing (an option not normally afforded to men).
Even if it were true that women earn 25% less than men, women still should be picking up 75% of their half of the dating expenses. Equal rights means equal rights.
2- If a man’s a gentleman, he’ll pay for me.
Acting as a woman’s version of a “gentleman” is an excellent example of how men are brainwashed by women to fulfill their self-serving interests.Mothers train their sons to buy into this scam at an early age, teaching them to treat women like goddesses and to pay for female company without question.
No man should allow himself to become a doormat for female whims, and no man should have to pay for a woman earning as much as he is.
3- It costs more to be a woman.
Women package themselves for sale to the highest bidder they can attract — you don’t see umpteen magazines touting beauty tips or gigantic cosmetic counters for men. No one — and I mean no one, needs a hundred pairs of shoes.And as for what it costs to be a man — try getting a date without an expensive house, an upscale car and nice clothing.
4- It’s just nice.
Sure it’s nice — I’d like someone to give me door-to-door chauffeur service, bring me presents, and pay for my dinner and entertainment, all for the possibility of sex, but with no obligation whatsoever. Let’s be honest; if we did this, we’d be in jail for fraud.5- It’s just expected.
Yes, it is expected… by women who have set up the rules of dating and sex by forcing men to bend to their rules. And this means, if you don’t pay, you don’t get laid.6- If you don’t pay for me, you’re cheap.
I love this one — pure sexual blackmail. It just proves that what women really want is cash.7- Whoever asks for the date should pay.
This is a great example of the female double standard. How many women have actually asked you out? And yet you can hear this excuse from women on a daily basis!Let’s look at it this way — when two women go out to dinner, does the one who asks pay? No, they usually split the bill. The same thing happens when a woman goes out with a man who’s just a “friend” — each pays an equal share.
But the second that sex enters the equation, the woman expects to be paid for. This is nothing less than whitewashed prostitution.
8- I can get away with it.
This is when the truth finally comes out. I’ve heard many women say, “I’ve got what you want and you’re going to have to pay for it.” Such arrogance just reduces dating to a whore/john relationship.9- My girlfriend’s boyfriend pays for her, so why shouldn’t you?
This is another version of the “you’re cheap” routine. What’s she’s really saying is, “my girlfriend gets away with sexual blackmail, and I want to get away with it, too.”10- I offer to pay, but guys say no.
In these days of equal rights some women will make a thinly-veiled, half-hearted attempt — once — to uphold their end of the “equality” bargain by offering to pay their half of the check.But it’s all a sham — she knows that the guy knows that if he takes her up on her offer, any hope of sex is over.

Women are equal to men. So why should men always pay?? My cousin got this same problem when he was dating a woman. It was always him paying. When he rose the conversation, it ends up breaking up between the two. So this is in line with fact no.5
