I had this discussion with a female friend once when she was saying that the man should always pay because it's the traditional thing to do. I simply asked her if she was a traditional woman. She said she didn't understand. I asked her if she was a virgin when she started dating her boyfriend, she said no. I asked her if she cooks dinner for her boyfriend every night, she said no. I asked her if once they got married and had children if she was planning on becoming a housewife and would stay home to run the house and raise the kids, she said no. I then simply asked her that if she has no intention of being a traditional woman, why should she expect her man to be or feel entitled to a traditional man?

You're stupidly wrong and redirecting the point to look good . Man should pay the first date. Simple as that. You're bringing up tradition has nothing to do with it. Because men asks out, not the women. If women asked out on me (which happened but I rejected them kindly) it would be up to women to pay. You're bringing OUT THE DATE THEN YOU SHOULD PAY. YOU ARE THE REASN WHY DATE IS HAPPENING IDIOT. After it's a relatonship etc. then it makes sense.

Courtney, it is refreshing to see a young woman with your poise and outlook on life. As a man who's been married for 40 years, I can tell you that a relationship needs 2 people that "want" to do something for the other one. When my wife and I were dating, sometimes I'd take her to dinner when I could afford it and other times she cooked for me. It was all about trying to make each other feel loved and special no matter what we did. Neither one of us ever had much and we never expected anything from each other.

I am quite traditional so maybe the first 3 or 4 dates I paid for everything, my girlfriend always offered to pay. When you meet and get to know someone you should be able to gauge roughly what they are like and their values. So to continually pay for them and not get the hint that they dont want to contribute is silly. If you are a man chasing a woman "out of your league" and paying for them without realising that they are using you then that is just stupid. What the woman is doing is low, obviously. Just seems there is a deep lack of basic reasoning skills from both men and women these days when it comes to dating.

However, these days women are working full time too, yet hold on to their belief that men should pay for everything always. Women want men's equality like they are picking from a guys life like it's a buffet. Women: "Same amount an hour, we'll take that, pay for the dinner fnck that, you can keep that".

A woman and I were planning our first date. I asked her to think of what she'd like to do. The next day we talked and ironed out the details. In doing so, she asked me "do you have expendable income?". This absolutely floored me! I was never treated with this level of honor and respect, not once! I posed the question back to her. After dinner we split the expenses. We didn't talk about it, we just did it. At that point, I thanked her for the respect she had given me the day prior. She's an excellent, honest, reasonable, and respectful woman and I'm very happy that she is in my life in what ever capacity that is and will be.

It's all about ideology. For women who has self-respect would never take favour from any stranger, and at the same time they will expect their partner to have similar attitude too. But there are women, for whom it's totally normal to have bi**h mentality, and there are few rich men who need them... when wealth is the only thing they can offer. And the ideology is not anyone's own choice, it comes from how individuals are raised.

Recently, about 10 days ago I was in the elevator and the feminazi in the elevator said (after she held the elevator door open for me), "You don't even say thank you to me?" I didn't respond. That's how a man and a boy must treat such "women". They are entitled, "Oh, look, I'm a woman" While I know "No, you are NOT!" Such "women" expect you also to say thank you after you had sex with them. I warn all men and boys from such "women". Run! when a woman behaves like this! It's timer to reclaim our power! I already reclaimed a tiny part of my power and now! it's your turn! Stop doing everything that Hollywood and feminazis tell you to do! -Paying on the first date -Kneeing down when you ask a woman or a girl if she wants to marry you -Being nice all the time -Hiding your serious side That's just a short list, I'm not gonna give you the long list now. I know, you now think "But Jasmin, if I stop doing those things women and girls will reject me and stop liking me and start hating me" No, no, femianzis will start hating you even more, but women (not all) and some girls will start liking and appreciating you. I'm constantly serious around women and when I talk with them and some of them still like me and also some girls. Men, now go out into the world and make me proud!

This is so true and a hot topic for me. I was brought up to pay and I am happy to do it but I hate it when the other partner assumes I am paying. I find it so nice when she tells me I got this one or when they make an effort to pull out the wallet or say I will get the next one. One of my favorite thing is to say I will pay the meal but you get the tip. It makes me feel like they wanted to be with me and not just seeking a free meal.

Nice to hear from someone living in the real world. Sadly, so many young people seem to think that they should be treated like superstars despite the fact that they have not actually achieved anything or earned the respect and privilege.

If a woman keeps making me pay, I would tell her I'm not a bank and break up with her. The worse woman you can date are the ones who always want to be treated like Royalty and do nothing in return for her man.

After 53 years of dealing with women, all I can say is the last 11 years of my life (without women) have been the best of my life LOL

Growing up, my mom taught me to be chivalrous and told me I would thank her later for it. I've been yelled at, lectured to, emasculated, etc. over the years and thought my mom actually cursed me rather than blessed me. During my dating life, I dated someone who was 10 years older than me. She not only appreciated it, but she also expected it. Not only that, but she taught me how to finish the job. It wasn't enough to just open the car, you have to make sure the lady is situated, her dress and accessories are inside, and then close the door softly but firmly. There was a time, I was going to give up chivalry completely, but I have since realized that you can't force someone to change and appreciate things, although I have had one successful crossover and she realized what a blessing chivalry really is, but don't change try to change the person, just change who the person is, and don't waste any time doing it. There is a man out there who appreciates her independence. There are three ways we can be...independent, codependent, and interdependent and two of those don't make for a very good relationship. My concern now is that women are fighting for their right to be equal, so the chivalry is going to get harder and harder. Everyone is going to end up going dutch, or alternating payment. You can't ask for completely equality and have other people buy all your stuff. Another thing about chivalry...Don't stop doing it when you are married. Date your spouse, also consider that you are showing your sons how to treat a woman with respect, and you are teaching your daughters how they should expect to be treated.

Since I am probably a little older, 52 years old, than most, and it may be a generational thing but one solid truth in this whole thing is the majority of men don’t care if women don’t pay, it’s the gesture or offering or willingness. It’s the graciousness and gratitude shown when we do something for you. A lot of women simply do not understand that an offer to pay or a thank you is everything no matter how much we paid. Hell, the next day or next time you can plan something as simple as a coffee or a beer at a sports bar and we’d be appreciative, it’s not the money or the amount of money, it’s the thought!

It doesn't necessarily have to be 50/50, but I'm not looking for someone that I have to support or subsidize. If she can't afford a car repair or her pet is needing expensive veterinary care, I don't want her to be expecting me to foot the bill. And yes on top of that when she is treating I would like it to be more or less in line with what I offer. You should get what you give.

4 things that have gotten me to a place where I have finally managed to form a healthy relationship with another human (Spoiler alert It's only been like 11months since we've started really going out) 1. Firstly, I started taking notes and reflecting on the Interactions I had with women in general. This included my co-worker's classmates and even some relatives. 2. Secondly, I decided to drop my all-goody-goody act and started asking some bold questions. Like If she was single or looking for a date or if I was her type. 3. Thirdly, I monitored my actions and made sure I wasn't going too deep too soon. 4. Lastly, I stopped being a doormat and made my boundaries clear from the start instead of fearing that she gonna leave me if I say something. I taught myself how to properly demand an apology and not come across as a jerk. Guys, dating ain't easy by any means it never was and probably will only get harder as we age. It takes a lot of time, patience and a ton of work to get into and maintain a proper relationship but all of it is ultimately worth it because you only gotta get it right once! And about the girl I'm currently with, she is my mom's friend's daughter. We were aware of each other's existence since childhood and used to play as kids but I don't remember seeing her or going to her place after I passed 4th grade. So we were never really friends. Last year I found her on social media and we started talking after a few weeks we decided to meet up. Honestly, I didn't have any idea we'd end up dating. I asked I she wanted to see if we would work together as a couple and she agreed. This has been the best relationship of my life because she doesn't complain about the things I can't control and blame me for everything, she is surprisingly caring and seems genuinely hurt by my past failures, we get along like best friends and I enjoy doing things with her even if I have to do house chores! Most importantly she taught me how to have a healthy disagreement. Thanks to her I can't say that we've really ever had a fight as adults but as kids, my mom says we used to fight all the time! lol

@Rick Sin No no! you got the wrong idea. When I was younger I would never act with confidence or talk about relationship stuff. Even when I went on dates I was too nervous to ask those questions and just talk about trivial things like movies and tv shows and stuff. I have never dated a coworker or teammate. I think that's just unprofessional. What I really meant on point 2 is that Now I don't shy away from asking questions when I'm dating someone. Hope you've gotten the point. And good luck out there!

@Rick SinI think that I am not doing a good job explaining my ideas. Sorry about that but I'll try to answer your questions as clearly as I can. How did I guarantee dates? and How I found women to go out with? Almost all of my dates were with people I already knew to some extent. Most of them were women from my college or neighbourhood. Some of the dates were set by mutual friends here having a few close female friends helps a lot. As for online dating I never bothered with that stuff honestly I didn't have to. And I'm, not the type that dates a lot. All my life I've tried to build relationships over having fun. If you want to be in a healthy relationship my advice is to first make a few good friends preferably of the opposite gender.

Courtney is spot on! Do not waste time dating anyone who doesn’t invest equally back in you. Investing equally does not mean dollar for dollar, it means connecting on a level that has a deeper emotional and personal connection with each other. People need to wake up and figure this out. The world today is filled up with so many fake fantasy living people, so it’s very hard to find that special someone you can really connect with. With that said, don’t give up. Keep trying!

We often talk about how hard it is for people/couples to GROW together…there’s been a decline of couples who meet at a young age and make it. I believe it’s simply because it’s hard to grow with somebody: it’s EASIER to part ways and work on yourself without having to worry about another person….but to me, it isn’t worth it. I know I want him, everyday, no matter what. And I know he feels the same.

“The world does not revolve around you” a lot of people need to hear and understand this

A female channel that actually gives decent dating advice for both men and woman. Nice! Keep up the great work! I can only wish more women would watch more of these kind of videos. Men already know these hardships but lack the confidence to speak out about it which is understandable in today's society. You get chastised and labeled wrongly for having standards. Which isn't right imo. But that's the current messed up world we live in.

i completely agree. let's hope things change with a rise in self respect and mutual respect for others.

Courtney, great response. I just saw Matthew's video and came to yours. Reasonable and respectful. love it.

I once dated a girl who was making a lot less money than i was, and was kind of struggling financially. So it would be kind of expected that i would pay for everything or most things. But she appreciated me and what we had so much that she would spontaneously buy me little gifts regularly even though i told her repeatedly that it wasn't necessary and that she should save her money. I think back on that relationship regularly.

Courtney, as someone that is getting back into the dating game, I’ve been subscribed to your channel for a few months and I’ve LOVED all your content! I’m so glad you reacted to Matthew’s video because I see my parents ALL over what both of you have to say. They’ve been happily married for 36 years. When they met, my mom walked up to him and struck up a conversation. They are partners and best friends, but they’ve both said that 50/50 is nice, but it is not constant. Sometimes it is 70/30…60/40…70/30…all the combinations. It’s in flux. But what is so important is that they have each other’s back through all of it. What you both have to say about men is spot on. Men want and need to be needed. We want to take care of others. However, we don’t want to be used. Someone that makes us feel needed and appreciated will have us coming back time and time again. Keep up the wonderful content!

Courtney just gets it, she isn't pandering or anything like that she's reasonable and rational. We appreciate you speaking what should be common sense. Shoutout to the dude who had the good to marry this girl!

I feel that showing gratitude goes a long way, whether it's the man or the woman. Even if someone isn't financially well off, sending a card or some other gesture that says I really appreciate what you did for me, is a very good thing.

Agreed. Gratitude and thoughtfulness have little to no value to young people today - with most being entitled and self-absorbed. I'm certainly glad I don't date in this day and age. Finding people with substance who value themselves and others today seems to be like searching for a unicorn's eyelash - they're out there, but they're just exceedingly rare. I wish you all the best in your search (and sorry for your loss). 🦄

As always, Matthew's suggestion for a paradigm shift is just spot on. It's truly the attitude to which we approach such things. As a man, I would have simply never offered to pay and just do it. Why? Well it made me happy to do so... but if my date felt bad about it, I'd definitely appreciate that attitude and tell him/her that I feel good paying for this meal that we shared. If you wish to get the next meal, then sure :) As long as we show gratitude to each other. Wonderful video! Thanks @Courtney Ryan

Your clearly biased extreme view about this just shows who truly is the one who “missed the point”. It’s easy to say someone is wrong or “totally missed the point” without giving any form of intellectual reasoning with evidence. Women have been working since long before my own birth 4 decades ago. All my life, I’ve seen women provide. But this post was NOT about that at all. It was all about how we approach things and stop thinking like in the past, but at the same time, to STOP being so entitled, privileged, whilst not having that victim mentality where “oh men ALLEGEDLY treated my ancestors (not me) like crap so I DESERVE better treatment though I may not even deserve it”.

Women's "work" in old days weren't work because they never got paid in first place. Most women (at least in my own country) hate to be paid by men because they don't like to use us which of course is the logical thing to do. As a feminist man also i would help her cleaning the house and other housework. Because that's how equality truly works. I never pay on first dates because there is always the possibility she can go out with you and get a free meal then ghost you in the very next day.

@@VelvetCrowe734 true on some counts but I guess I just live in a different country. Where I live, women usually hold positions of power outside government. Top insurance agents & ceo all female. Officers in desk jobs with top pay with minimal risk of injury during work majority female. It’s really the other way round here but I don’t see the men complaining. Instead, they are grateful ❤️ which is how anyone should approach any situation these days when there is no oppression.

So true. If I went on a date and she exhibited the Princess mentality there wouldn't be a second date. I have no problem paying but I don't want it to be routine.

As an “old man,” I feel that this dating element is spot on. In my opinion there is a difference between expectation and entitlement.

I remember yeeeears ago when I picked up this girl in my car to about to go out on a first date. The minute she got in my car she said with a smile and excitement, "Thanks! It's not all the time I get to go out for a free meal." I was stunned and said nothing. I started up the car, drove around the block and stopped in front of her house again. She was like, "Uh, why are we suddenly back in front of my place? I did not forget anything." I said, "Because I want you to get out. I don,t date charity cases hoping to score a free meal." She got out and before she could say anything, I was already speeding off. A FREE meal? Seriously? Cut me a break!

Maybe I’m old school, but I was raised in a home with no father around (much) and a mom and 4 sisters. I open the doors, pull the seat out, pour her a glass of wine and absolutely pay for the date. Sex is not expected, but once you both determine that you like eachother, things balance out. The guy in this video is not the man these women should be listening to. Plus he sounds English, which culturally, things may be different, but in the good ole USA, and the man happens to be from the south, he’s gonna be a gentleman and get the doors, pull the seats and def pay for the meal. JMO…

I give total props to you for standing up and supporting the end of this double standard as a woman! You came across completely sincere and hopefully this message will resonate to the viewers to stand up for themselves. And I'm not just referring to the first date paying circumstances. Relationship should never be transactional. And it's about going forward as a team and the entire dating process is to find out if you're compatible as a team to build a life together

On the third date she invited me to eat at her house. All we did was sit on her back stoop while she bbq chicken on this tiny little grill she had. We ate one tiny piece while she cooked the next tiny piece. Just meat on a plate. I felt like a a king.

It's so nice to finely hear this, I have had enough of paying. When you are on dating apps there is these never-ending hints for the guy to pay, I like to travel, I like to go out for dinner, and I like to go to concerts as long as you pay.

This is one of the many reasons why I love this channel. Courtney is one of the only girls that calls out the double standards. Men have a laundry list of things that they HAVE to do for women, but a woman does not HAVE to do anything. Men are held accountable for everything, but people need to sit down with women and have the hard conversations

The human ego (and the desire to wanting more) definitely has a blame on not reaching happiness in life for most people. Have a nice day, and thank you for your video. :)

When I went on a first date with my future husband we shared the expenses. He bought lunch, I bought drinks. It felt great being equal. No judgment, no uneven demands. We did this on a lot of dates. I made more money than he did at the time and I appreciated it every time he paid. He felt the same when I paid. He eventually moved up in his company and made three times my salary. We still share expenses though his share is higher and I share in ways not monetary. Our relationship has always felt perfect. He still treats me like a queen and I treat him like a king. It's all about love and respect. I love how they both explain this.

I honestly need a women like you. You seem like a smart, kind, self conscious, thoughtful, hardworking women . I agree with everything that has been said on this video.

Good and real people are hard to find on KZread but when you do find it. It is refreshing to just hear the truth from a man and a woman.❤️🤟🏾

No one will act more courteous or respectful at any other time than on a first date. So you can predict how someone will act every day in a relationship by how they behave on the first date.

Love your content so much. Nice to see there's like minded people.

When my wife and went on our first date, I had asked her out and thus expected to pay. When the tab came, I pulled out my wallet, and she told me "You get the tab, I'll get the tip". Yes, my portion was larger, but was both surprised and pleased at that. We did that for every date. That was 33 years ago. And Dec next year will be 30yrs married to that special lady.

ON POINT! him being in shape, keeps eyes focusing more on him and brains on the subject. lol!!!

Courtney finally reacted to Matthew Hussey AND THE EXACT VIDEO I wanted her to react. Heck yeah I know I'll enjoy this video a lot. 🔥🔥

Love this analysis! Double standards and a “who has the status quo” mentality have no place in healthy relationships.

Thank you for being down to earth and real.

I just wanna say this Courtney you’re a real gem and I hope to meet a woman like you someday. Not only are you smart and beautiful but you show real character and it seems like these days a lot of that is hard to come by. I’m gonna keep searching for her. Keep it up girl!

7:03 This doesn’t apply just on dates but when it comes to the initiation process. If I’m carrying all the conversations dropping all the compliments etc. then I feel just as used as going on a date with a girl who acted hella entitled and made me pay for it all.

Totally agree! That “princess” mentality that you’re talking about and the double standard that goes with it is the relationship equivalent of nails on a chalkboard! It makes you feel so taken advantage of!

A girl once ask me out on a date. I said I can’t, because my economy was bad that month. She said it’s okay, since she’s the one asking, she’ll treat. So I went. To my surprise, she later did a whole Tiktok live discussing about me, for not being a gentleman and not paying during a date. I went in the live to defend myself. She quickly kicked me out and banned me, while continuing the live.

When u said obviously and showed the ring 💍 that made me soo happy and made my day thanks❤

There is probably a culture difference here, but on my first date with my current long term boyfriend, we paid for ourselves... The more we got to know each other and spent more time together, he started to tell me things like, I wanna buy you dinner, the movie is on me etc... I never expected it, always said thank you and treated him to something in return, maybe a cup of coffee or similar... It doesn't have to be the guy paying, and one party should never feel entitled! Sometimes you split the check, sometimes one of you pays, it doesn't have to be harder than that

I dated a girl about nine years ago that was this exact lesson, personified. I paid for the first two dates, as I always have, and no thank you or anything. I couldn’t put my thumb on it, but something was off. Third date, same thing. She picked the restaurant, usually something expensive, got at least two drinks and a meal. Still nothing. Last date I cut short, when I intentionally got a place with a long wait time, sat down at the bar, she ordered an expensive cocktail, and when our table was called, didn’t even make a move for the check to pay it. I knew she was just there for the freebies. I paid and left, with no goodbye. She messaged me a few days later to ask why I ditched her - obviously, I worked hard to pay for her taking advantage of me. Long story short - I was very glad I ditched her. My very next date was my date with my wife of 8 years now.
