Girl's Battle of the Sexes [ArticleImageHyperLink] Advertising Monday, February 06, 2012 By Millie Albarran    When a girl goes out with a guy for Valentine’s Day, it’s a special moment, and such a moment deserves special treatment. So, naturally, the guy should pay!    When it comes to Valentine’s Day there is no “going Dutch”, a phrase that means paying for your own portion or going half and half on the bill. When the guy asks a girl out for this day of love he’s letting her know that he cares about her, and what better way to do that than be a gentlemen and pick up the tab. There’ll be plenty of chances for the girl to pitch in when it comes to future dates, although they definitely won’t mind if the guy insists on paying other times too.    Many people are all about equality between women and men but that kind of thinking doesn’t work when it comes to dating. For instance, if a guy says, “I think men and women are equals so we should both pay,” the real message he’s conveying is that he’s not very interested in you and he’s a major cheapskate. A real guy should man up and pay because this let’s the girl know he can take care of her. Plus, it’s a beautiful gift on Valentine’s Day to every girl!     Some ladies are supporters of feminism, which is basically about equal political, economic, and social rights. In my opinion, you can’t fully support feminism in a relationship. How can a woman want to be socially equal with a man when Valentine’s Day comes and they want to be showered with attention and affection? Plenty of girls out there know they like it when a guy goes the extra mile for them.    It’s understandable if the guy is fourteen or fifteen, he most likely doesn’t have a job and his parents might not give him a big allowance, but parents usually get excited about Valentine’s Day too and are more than willing to dish out a little extra cash. If the guy is sixteen or older, he’s old enough to get his own job or at least have more money so there’s no excuse as to why he can’t pay.    Valentine’s Day is just around the corner guys, so if you plan on finally asking out that special someone or want to take your lady out and make her feel like the apple of your eye, what better way than to pay for the entrance to the movie theaters or buy her dinner!
