I fully expect Galina to have her views, I just wished she shared the real ones and didn't give me the gender equality take care of the babies politically correct version of them. If she came out and said the guy should pay because I got enough bills, and I want to see if he'll step up and be the type of man I need in my life, I could respect that but the reasons she gave were so fake. I don't have anything against Galina other than I found her comments disingenuous. There was no judgement of Galina, she seems really nice which is probably why she gave the pc answer to begin with.
Now after scolding me about judgment you're attempting to judge the single man, you don't know our story either. You start a business while being broke in university, you find funding for it when there was nobody to believe in you but a few loved ones who took a huge leap of faith on you, you work 18-20 hours a day, 7 days a week trying to keep it solvent for the first 2 years so you didn't let those loved ones down, then to get a big break and go down to 6 days a week working the same hours for more years only to finally turn the corner a couple years after that, and rapidly expand and become an international company with multiple offices, employing 70+ employees who all rely on you for a paycheck so they can support their families, go thru the struggle I had to succeed and go thru the stress I go thru daily, I had to go from learning how to stay afloat to how to run a major enterprise on the fly and I'm being told I am obligated to pay for a woman because my life has been easier than hers...I earned my financial freedom with my blood sweat and tears and she made her own life choices and you made your choice and on and on... so good for her for being a great single mother but don't tell me I need to pay for her dinner bills because of it, not my problem. I'll pay for her or anyone I want to because I want to, not out of any obligation.
The problem has become that women have become less appreciative of men, taking a woman out isn't a nice thing to do anymore, it's a requirement. If we don't do it, no big deal the next guy will do it. The answers here go to show that. Show a guy that it's still a nice gesture and we'll happily do it.
