The topic was extremely interesting. I was thinking you could maybe incorporate a different point of view. For example, you can maybe give the solution of making both parties pay half and half during their first date. I'm pretty sure I said this in class before, but I just want to make sure.
I find the topic interesting but I really think you can further by investing certain social trends. Like I feel certain countries really have a patriachal society where men paying for a date is kind of a tradition. But I feel like your point of if both the man and woman on a date have a similar economic situation they should be splitting the bill.
I feel like the topic you've chosen was very intriguing since it was a relatively less debated topic due to numerous reasons, but taking other factors into consideration when paying for dates is indeed an essential thing to think of.
Your thoughts on this topic are very interesting. As a woman, I think that as long as there is no significant economic disparity, the first date should be paid for both genders. The first date doesn't equal the confirmation of a relationship; it's more like creating opportunities for two people to meet and communicate. Meanwhile, if both people voluntarily participate, it proves that both of them are willing to communicate, and the cost of meals is not a big problem. If two people respect each other, they should give each other equal respect on the first date, which is reflected in respecting each other's economic strength and the right to make independent choices, rather than just being generous or wanting to get more in return by giving more. The traditions left over from society might require men to make more efforts, but this is based on the economic inequality between men and women left over from history. However, nowadays, the economic equality between men and women is gradually improving, and the problems of patriarchal society have not been completely resolved. Therefore, the logic behind this issue is not merely the role of men in society, but rather social norms imposed on men and women in the historical context. I also highly recommend that you could conduct another investigation. Because of the changes over time, people's cognition and reasons may change accordingly. At the same time, you could also see more reasons behind this phenomenon.
