One of my elders once told me, “A good way to filter out women is to see how she reacts after a man pays for the date (dinner, outing, etc.)."
Do they say thank you and show gratitude, or do they just do nothing?
He explained that a woman’s response shows her attitude and how she approaches life.
What are your experiences with this? Do you think it’s true? Any thoughts or experiences with this? Do ladies generally say thank after your dates? Open to any responses
Thanks,

Tbh I genuinely feel awkward and a bit uncomfortable about it. I usually try pay half because I don’t want the guy to act like I “owe” him anything.
Saying “thank you” is just basic human decency
Remove the date part for a second.
If two people were out and one just quicky paid for the meal but the other person didn’t say thank you and worse, sat there like it was expected, what would you think?
You’d think they’re a rude person and not do it again.
There’s your answer.
Absolutely it’s right to say thank you, even in a long term relationship my partner and I thank each other when we pay (we only split when others are present). But while it should come naturally to show gratitude, you can bet there will be some who don’t.
If someone spends their money on something for you, the polite and respectful thing to do is to thank them. Anything less comes across as ungrateful, inconsiderate, and entitled.
It doesn’t matter if this is with dating or in any other situation.
