I find the idea that I am expected to pay for a womans time demeaning. My time is just as valuable as my dates. I want someone that I can respect as an equal not someone that expects me to treat them like a child when it is convenient to them. For me a woman expecting me to pay is a dealbraker as I instantly lose respect for them.

I have had some people agree with this and some call me an asshole without being able to rationalise it. I thought it would be interesting to hear a wide range of perspectives. AITA?
