I was just wondering, if you arrange a meet with a guy and you have to stay in a hotel because neither of you can accommodate, should the guy pay for the hotel?
I've had opinions that say yes the guy should pay cause he's the one getting lucky....but I'm more inclined to think that it should be 50/50.
What do you all think?
Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I've always believed that a gentleman should offer to pay for things, and a lady should then offer to split things 50/50, and after a brief protest from the man, then this is what's agreed on, unless one party is clearly more wealthy than the other.
It's one of those manners things - like holding a door open for a lady, or wearing a tie - it's rather pointless if you analyse it, but it's 'the done thing'.
A gentleman would pay, a guy might think otherwise. Whilst on the face of it swinging is very much an equal activity and could be reflected in sharing hotel costs, would not the fact that there are a lot more guys than woman induce you as the bloke you to make that little bit more effort.
And don't forget when you date in the traditional sense, the man generally pays for a night out, without being on a promise!! Nor do you necassarily have to wine and dine, so it nets off against the hotel costs.
Me I pay the hotel costs and bring a bottle. If the woman feels more comfortable sharing then go along with her.
Why on earth should the guy pay??
Unless he's a millionaire and your a pauper then i really dont get it.
Your both using the room for the same reasons so you should both pay 50/50.
Ooooops, I think i opened the floodgates....LoL.
Ice Pie, I totally agree with you.......I think that each person is both as lucky as the other one to be getting together....if that makes any sense......
I was just wondering, for the record, I personally think that it should be 50/50......but I was just wondering what everyone else thinks....
I would like it to be split 50/50.
But if it dont happen that way then i wouldnt really complain about it.
