You only have to look at the fact that online dating has become the second most popular form of matchmaking in the United States to know that dating has changed fundamentally in the past few decades.
But one courtship convention remains steadfast: who pays for dates.
New research presented at the American Sociological Association’s annual meeting this week found that 84 percent of men and 58 percent of women say men pay for most entertainment expenses — even after they have been dating for some time.
You know that we didn’t write the headline, by the way.
If you’re going to pay for sex, pay a pro!
This is pretty outrageous. If I have to PAY to use a urinal, I’ll just find one that’s free.
This is the lunacy we’re dealing with!
