I have this perception that in Europe the 50/50 shit is more normal.
I have just come back from a date with an Italian scrote who made split the bill, he made me pay 24 euros.
I think it's pretty common it in Europe or it is my impression?
In South America men don't let women pay most of the times, here in Europe we have to deal with this scrotery more often,
Women who date men from europe, what are your thoughts?
I don't date.
My experience dating in central Europe has been that the men who truly want to impress you will not expect 50-50 here either, especially if you are dating well-off men with decent manners and an upper middle class/upper class background.
It's sometimes hard to tell in advance, though, I'll give you that. I think it's also an age thing. If you are a student in your early twenties dating other students, the absolute majority will be 50-50 "let's netflix and chill and see where things go" guys. But I'm a professional woman in my mid-30s now and only dating men with similar backgrounds in my age group and them expecting 50-50 or proposing "casual" dates (like coffee) is way less common.
I've wondered about this as well.
In the U.S., most men are at least vaguely aware that 50/50 can be viewed as disrespectful towards the woman. I think in Northern and Western Europe, this attitude doesn't really exist, and the vast majority of men fully expect women to split the bill.
To answer your question, I deal with this problem by avoiding European men. Every European man I dated in my pickme 20s was a 50/50 scrote. Sorry I don’t have anything better to say.
In Eastern Europe, you never know what you’re going to get. It’s a 50/50 chance that your date is a 50/50 scrote 😀 I’ve tried all sorts of things to set the tone and hint that they’re paying, but with some men it won’t matter.
My experience in Northern Europe is that a lot of guys do 50/50. Or ask if you’re ok with that. I usually say OK but dont see them again after.
There were only two guys I chose to see after because they were conventionally attractive. They turn out do be selfish in everything else but hobbies and close friends. Both neglected me emotionally until I left . Next week they were already with a different girl.
Don't date 'em.
I never paid while on a date and was never asked to. Gross low value behaviour.
I’m not in Europe, but let me say something controversial. A “50-50 scrote” can easily be converted into a provider if you want him to. The secret? REQUIRE IT. Make your requirements known before you even go out. Men respond well to blunt truth. If he doesn’t respond well, block and delete.
You know why so many of them do 50-50? Because they can get away with it, because of self-hating women who think they need to buy a man’s love. Become the prize. See yourself as more precious than rubies and gold. See yourself as someone who needs to be paid to even breathe around a man. I have been spoiled beyond belief by men who claimed to “not believe” in being providers. Why? Because I required it for even hearing my voice on the phone. Being humble is wonderful, but don’t be so humble that you think you’ll have to settle for less than Queen treatment. Become practically unattainable. Men will fall over themselves trying to win you because that's their nature. Walk around like you already have a man who is paying for everything and more. Believe that the man who will do this will be attracted to you. It's all mindset my dear. Good luck out there.
