Women who don't pay their way

Women who don't get a round in

The round dodger

I may be alone with this, but I think that women should pay their way when out down the pub. These days they expect and do receive equality so why should it not apply when buying a round of drinks?



I'm willing to bet that like me alot of you men have gone to a pub or club with a group of both male and female friends. Whilst us guys understand the basic social system of buying drinks in rounds;

19-4-2008Ive met women who go on about equality and tell you how much they earn etc etc then expect you as a guy to pay for everything. Ive met some not many who are happy to share but never met one who treated me. Girls you got your equality so drop the double standards.A griper.
21-2-2008I was liking your article until the end when you said "and really should be treasured as ‘one of the lads’." This comment can appear very sexist to many people, looking like you imply that being one of the guys is something that should be treasured and that the other (one of th...moreTruthHurts
29-9-2007Do things my way as it is the only way. The thing is women don't do rounds when they are out together. Me and my friends get our own. If we do do buy a round it's because we're feeling genourous and while it's polite to get another one in it's by no means expected. If I'...moreSilver
03-5-2007The trouble is if you are in a big group and you all have various tolerance limits for alcohol then this system could encourage people to drink more than is healthy for them. Although I know some women who can outdrink big men this is not necessarily good or to be encouraged in the name of "equ...morePete
29-3-2007I find women usually by there round. They may not go to the bar themselves and instead give there money to one of the male group members and send them instead.fred
17-3-2007Awwwww.... can you only bag yourself a lad when she's completely paraletic.... You cant be that bad surely?KHDaily
12-3-2007Never buy drinks for girls. For once, be the CHALLENGE and let her find some other stronzo to pay for her while you pick her up when she's already drunk.Playa
25-2-2007Personally I always buy drink for drink,round for round - I'm sick and tired of women playing the girlie card and taking real feminism back a good few decades. My problem is the men not getting enough rounds in that keeps up with how fast I drink.... ;o)KHDaily
27-12-2006Chris - What a sensible suggestion , we have done this for a while and it really worksKenB
25-11-2006I don't like rounds anyway. They're expensive and force people to drink at the speed of the fastest. With one bunch of people I used to work with we would have a 'kitty' when we went to the pub - everyone puts in a certain amount. That way nobody is hit with a larger bill if someone ...moreChris
09-11-2006One reason for women still not buing drinks is because they never used to in the 'old days'! Their husbands earned the money, what could they pay with? Peanuts?! This tradition could be still happening now, especially with older groups or women who are homemakers etc... with no money basical...morefli
29-9-2006"How dare you be tho thexthisth"..... etc. etc. ad flamin' nauseum. YOU may not do it, but the VAAAAAST majority of women out there do. We are SICK AND TIRED of paying your way because you think that we all want to sleep with you so much that we'll pay for everything. Cheapsk...moreangrysteve
