And Amanda gem.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Nation, the Jonesy Demander arms for the pub test. Men
paying on the first date? Does it pass the pub test?
This has been around for years.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
But it's changing. This is what's so interesting. The Millennials
or Gen Wise they used to be called, said no,
So this is the guy. The guys and girls I
guess that are over thirty. Now that generation the men
said no. Well, to my reading, the men have said no,
it's fifty to fifty and the women agreed by and large.
Now we're getting Generation Z and it seems there's a

(00:33):
softening to this where men and women are expecting a
man to pay on the first date. Here's an interview
grab that was done with a group of university students.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
Do you think men should pound the fascinator?

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (00:44):
I think so, Yes they should.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Yes, not if it's that expensive percent Yes.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
I just feel like because they asked me out, they
should like make the effort to pay as well. If
he asked me out and then doesn't pay, it is like, yeah,
I've offended.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
And yet the asking out is different these days. So
many people are matching online. There's no old school yeah
asking out, and people are going on multiple days a week,
multiple dates a week. How does a man afford to
do all of that?

Speaker 2 (01:12):
That's a lot of Guzman and Gomes.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
It certainly is. Let's ask you men paying on the
first date. Does it pass the pub test?

Speaker 5 (01:18):
Look, I think generally they should pay on the first date.
But I suppose you just choose on the vibe. If
she's not vibing it and she's looking around the room,
maybe she can pay for her.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Look, I don't think it passes the pub test. I
think you should split the bill on the first date,
and there shouldn't be this expectation that one person should
But it's still romantic when someone offers. If I was
asked out and I'd had to pay, I'd be absolutely horrified.
I don't care if we're in the new generation.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
I'm still old school.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
So yes, men need to pay on the first date.
Yes it does.

Speaker 5 (01:53):
I'm a baby boomer, and what I've found when I.

Speaker 4 (01:57):
Was dating was that it was a very good barama
as to the interest of the other party. Only if
men want to pay on the first date. If a
woman wants to pay, she can pay. If they want
to split the bill fifty to fifty. Either way, I
think it's just amazing that people are going on first
dates and loving their lives.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yeah, nice,
