I don't see one occasion where splitting the bill could reflect badly on you. Offering to pay the whole bill is drought with danger.

First date out to dinner - offering to pay the whole bill - simp material?

Since my goal would be to get some and not to win some gender equality points, I would offer to pay in full for the first date.

What are you talking about? Why is this even a thing? If it’s a date date and not some group outing, then pay the damn bill. If she scoffs at that, take her home, say good-bye, and don’t call her back. She ain’t worth the headache.

At least offer to pay. If she says go Dutch then don't decline.

She won't like you less if you don't insist on paying the whole thing
It will have the opposite effect. It's the simp trap

*protip - most girls that are actually cool and not SJWs or feminists, like it if you offer to pay for the first date and to be chivalrous in general.

I think the best way is to offer to pay first, she declines then you make a joke about an equal opportunity climate and both of you decide on splitting it. But halving it can never work against you
Or even joke that she pays it all. That's a PRO move

What if she was the one keen to go out but you picked the activity? Should you pay it all then?

When I was trying to test the dating scene after I moved here I always offered to pay. Not sure if things have changed over the last 6 years but I still feel like I would always offer to pay today

Bottom line is that you will never be seen as a simp if you pay your own half

Definitely offer but don't repeatedly say you'll pay it all if she keeps saying she'll pay her half

Dude, I have no idea what a “simp” is. All I know is a man who’s not some impolite cheapskate will pay for the first date. Traditions have their uses. It allows an easy way for the man to show kindness and generosity toward a woman they like. Didn’t your dad teach you these things?

I think it's the perfect time to do a joke since bill time is pretty stressful on a date

How is splitting the bill being a cheapskate? Did you drink more wine and eat more desert than her?
It's an antiquated way of thinking

I always just take the bill and pull out my card. If they offer I say it’s no big deal and I don’t mind grabbing it. Extremely rare for it to go beyond that.

As a footnote I think you have take each date on it's own merits
If she's not showing dat interest dont ever offer
If she seems pretty keen then I'll allow it

Hahahaha! You think you’re the first person to try this? I can almost see you at dinner calculating in your head how much more a date is going to cost you while you’re sitting there eating too many free tortilla chips.
By not trying to be a simp, you’ll end up being a cuck. Because the kind of woman that doesn’t at least respect a little bit of tradition and let the man lead initially, will end up owning your balls in the end.

If you pay you get to pick where ya go. Lots of people have bad taste in food. Dazzle them with your superior taste. It's a classic move.
It's also a nice gesture. People like to hang out with people who are nice to them. Nothing odd about that.
If paying for a date ruins your chances of maintaining a good relationship with that women forevermore, she's either a trash women or you're a weak man.

I guess I should have prefaced this post with how well you feel the date is going

You secretly go to the maitre after you went to the toilet after dinner, pay in full, and later on when she pretends to be a little bit upset about it but in reality thinks you are cool and macho you say 'next time you pay' with a smirk on your face.

Because it’s been traditional for over a century that the man pays. And it’s one of the few traditions I think is good for separating the men who are confident to lead in a relationship, who are in control of their finances, and who want to show a bit of kindness and generosity toward a woman they like- from the cheapskate pussies who cry over paying an extra $20 on a date.

I don't see why this needs to be a rule for dates though. If I ask my friend to go to a concert it's not expected that I pay for them. We both earn money, why should I be expected to pay for you?

Been married 15 years this Thursday to my smoking hot wife. Balls still intact.
If you think paying for the first date is being a simp, I don’t know what to tell you. Maybe stop hanging around so many homosexuals?

I guess what I was really meaning was to pay for the first dinner when she was clearly not into you, just for the hope to score

Better say "you're paying for breakfast"
That's a PRO move /Davie504
Depends on your strategy with that girl.

Idk that paying is 'simp material' but to me splitting is just a better move. You're probably more likely to offend women nowadays by paying for a meal than charm them, even if you're just trying to be a gentleman or whatever.
There's usually not a downside to splitting.

Nah, it’s cool. I’d still pay though. I’ve had some bad dates, but there’s no reason to try and get out of it. Plus, she has friends, they talk, you don’t want to ruin your chances with another woman by being perceived as a jerk by them.

Is wanting to split the bill being a jerk?
From my experience they open their wallet the quickest these days
