- And so do men. Well, someone had to say it. I'm quite happy to pay
- for a date---it makes sense for me to do so, since most of the women I
- know are on student grants, and I'm paid a salary---but I'm also happy
- to allow them to pay, since the dates we go on are pretty cheap, on
- the whole. In practice, almost all have insisted on paying their
- share, and I don't mind that.
