[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 441175, member: 8"] Yes, I think this is common courtesy rather than being disproportionately noble. Similarly, if you have guests in your house you don't charge them for the coffee and treats. I once read that in Greek culture it's considered offensive to "repay" a gift with another gift as it would reduce the kindness of the gift to a banal transaction. I'm not a very proud person but I would always try to be bigger than my money even if that first date sucks. Traditionally-biologically, the male species chases the female (because they're horny little bastards) and the female species will decide "who" and "when". She [I][B]is[/B][/I] the prize, the victory, therefore it makes sense that she'd choose carefully. Because of the competition, the male species must make an effort to woo his target, physically or financially or otherwise. However (yes, there is [I]always[/I] an "however") this doesn't necessarily make the female species more powerful because females are prone to self-deceit and confuse the efforts of the males with True Love. Thankfully, True Love (or being in love) is often part of the process except that the male interpretation of True Love is slightly more loose or casual, and that means that the confusion and misunderstanding (he/she doesn't know what I'm [I]saying [/I]!) is rooted in the very process that brings these two species together. The [I]only[/I] relationship that works flawlessly is the May-December homosexual relationship. Those people know [I]exactly [/I] what they want. And that's why you don't see them in soaps. They're boringly happy. [/QUOTE]
