Today, a guy invited me to a first date at a new restaurant. I was going to pay my way, but when he saw how steep the bill was, he insisted that I pay for his meal too, to prove I'm a "real feminist". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went on a dinner date with the guy I like. He ate all his food then started eating off my plate, going on to eat over half of my food. When the bill came, he made me pay for it. FML
Today, I got into a heated argument at a restaurant with a guy I am seeing because he refused to let me pay for the bill and I thought it was sexist. When he finally agreed, I gave the waiter my card, only to have him return a minute later telling me it was declined. FML
Today, I was on a first date. When the bill came, he refused to pay for my $6 salad. I had to go ATM-hunting to pay for my $6 salad. FML
Today, I went on a date at a restaurant with a guy. When he promised I wouldn't have to pay the bill, I didn't think he meant we'd be dining and dashing. FML
Today, my date refused to pay for my dinner, even though he promised to beforehand. It turns out, he assumed I would just be ordering a salad for dinner, "based on your slim figure". FML
Today, I went on a date. I took her out to an expensive steak house. When she was done eating, she got up, said she was married, and told me she only accepted the date because I'd be paying for it. FML
Today, after finally getting a date with the girl I like, she invited her new boyfriend along as well. I ended up paying for their first date. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy who seemed to be quite the gentleman. I was proven wrong when he told me to "shut it" during dinner, stiffed me on the bill, and then left me at the restaurant so he could get his own taxi home. FML
Today, I went on a date that went well, until the bill came and she quickly shoved it in my direction, then went to the loo. Rude, but I thought nothing of it… until our waiter took pity and told me I’m the fourth guy she’s had this week who'd been made to pay for her. I paid half, then went home. FML
Today, I went out on a first date. He insisted we go to McDonald's and split a Happy Meal because he "didn't want to waste any money on a first date." FML

The fact that he couldn’t pick someplace more reasonably priced indicates that he’s a “real jackass.”

He's not wrong tho. Plenty of women do this asking guys to prove they're "real men"

He's a jerk because he was the one who asked her out and chose the place. Whether there are women expecting "real men" to pay or not is irrerelevant.

He picked the place. He should be prepared to pay his half of the bill at the very least.

Your either going out with the wrong women or your not going out with any women and are just making assumptions

Whoever does the inviting should be prepared to do all the paying. If they insist, you tell them they can pay next time when they invite you.

I assume you'll now help him save money on his next date with you by not having it at all.

I'm fine paying for my date's meal regardless of who asked who, but his asshole usage of feminism like it's an insult would've ensured he was washing dishes for his half. He could've simply asked for help. Instead, he dragged his shitty baggage about women out and flung it at you.

It’s ironic that he used feminism against you when it’s belief is that men and women should be equal, for you to be a ‘real feminist’ you’d still be making him pay his half

The answer is no. Pay your half and walk away. Do not see this jerk again.
