"Sometimes one pays for dinner, and the other for the room, swings and roundabouts For someone to expect for it to be paid is a bit rich I would anticipate that this might have come up in the conversation at some point prior to the meet " Some people flop things on you at the last minute. You agree to a drink then, when you get there, they want food, or say I'm buying dinner. | |||

"Id be more than happy to pay 50/50 for a modest hotel but I definitely wouldnt be booking it.

"I absolutely want to go halves whatever the costs of a meet - be they a hotel, and/or drinks, and/or club entry etc. It actually makes me feel empowered - and therefore more relaxed - if we're meeting as equals because there's no lingering doubt whatsoever regarding one party having any obligation towards the other because they've been subsidised in any way. It doesn't mean I don't appreciate the gesture when others try to be genuinely generous and I'm pretty sure those I've met aren't trying to do that as some sort of hold over me .... but sticking to paying my way means I simply don't have to think about any of that stuff and can just enjoy myself!"

Its the 21st century - if women want to be treated as equals we should contribute equally. | |||

"It's all a bit like the following (from Hitch Hikers Guide to the Gangway) "Bistromathics itself is simply a revolutionary new way of understanding the behavior of numbers, Just as Einstein observed that space was not an absolute but depended on the observer's movement in space and that time was not an absolute, but depended on the observer's movement in time, so it is now realized that numbers am not absolute, but depend on the observer's movement in restaurants. The first non absolute number is the number of people for whom the table is reserved. This will vary during the course of the first three telephone calls to the restaurant, and then bear no apparent relation to the number of people who actually turn up, or to the number of people who subsequently join them after the show/match/party/gig or to the number of people who leave when they see who else has turned up. The second non absolute number is the given time of arrival, which is now known to be one of those most bizarre of mathematical concepts, a recipriversexcluson, a number whose existence can only be defined as being anything other than itself in other words, the given time of arrival is the one moment of time at which it is impossible that any member of the party will arrive. Recipriversexclusons now play a vital part in many branches of math, including statistics and accountancy and also form the basic equations used to engineer the Somebody Else's Problem field. The third and most mysterious piece of non absoluteness of all lies in the relationship between the number of items on the check, the cost of each item, the number of people at the table and what they are each prepared to pay for (The number of people who actually brought money is only a sub phenomenon in this field.) The baffling discrepancies that used to occur at this point remained un investigated for centuries simply because no one took them seriously. They were at the time put down to such things as politeness, rudeness, meanness, flashiness, tiredness, emotionality or the lateness of the hour, and completely forgoten about on the following morning. They were never tested under laboratory conditions, of course, because they never occurred in laboratories-not in reputable laboratories at least. And so it was only with the advent of pocket computers that the startling truth became finally apparent, and it was this: Numbers written on restaurant checks within the confines of restaurants do not follow the same mathematical laws as numbers written on any other pieces of paper in any other parts of the Universe. This single statement took the scientific world by storm. It campietely revolutionized it. So many mathematical conferences got held in luch good restaurants that many of the finest minds of a generation died of obesity and heart-failure and the science of math was put backi by years. Slowly, however; the implications of the idea began to be understood. To begin with it had been too stark, too crazy, too much like what the man in the street would have said "Oh, yes, I could have told you that." Then some phrases like "Interactive Subjectivity Frameworks" were invented, and everybody was able to relax and get on with it. The small groups of monks who had taken up hanging around the major research institutes singing strange chants to the effect that the Universe was only a figment of its own imagination were eventually given a street theater grant and went away."" What the actual fuck????? | |||

The second non absolute number is the given time of arrival, which is now known to be one of those most bizarre of mathematical concepts, a recipriversexcluson, a number whose existence can only be defined as being anything other than itself in other words, the given time of arrival is the one moment of time at which it is impossible that any member of the party will arrive. Recipriversexclusons now play a vital part in many branches of math, including statistics and accountancy and also form the basic equations used to engineer the Somebody Else's Problem field. The third and most mysterious piece of non absoluteness of all lies in the relationship between the number of items on the check, the cost of each item, the number of people at the table and what they are each prepared to pay for (The number of people who actually brought money is only a sub phenomenon in this field.) The baffling discrepancies that used to occur at this point remained un investigated for centuries simply because no one took them seriously. They were at the time put down to such things as politeness, rudeness, meanness, flashiness, tiredness, emotionality or the lateness of the hour, and completely forgoten about on the following morning. They were never tested under laboratory conditions, of course, because they never occurred in laboratories-not in reputable laboratories at least. And so it was only with the advent of pocket computers that the startling truth became finally apparent, and it was this: Numbers written on restaurant checks within the confines of restaurants do not follow the same mathematical laws as numbers written on any other pieces of paper in any other parts of the Universe. This single statement took the scientific world by storm. It campietely revolutionized it. So many mathematical conferences got held in luch good restaurants that many of the finest minds of a generation died of obesity and heart-failure and the science of math was put backi by years. Slowly, however; the implications of the idea began to be understood. To begin with it had been too stark, too crazy, too much like what the man in the street would have said "Oh, yes, I could have told you that." Then some phrases like "Interactive Subjectivity Frameworks" were invented, and everybody was able to relax and get on with it. The small groups of monks who had taken up hanging around the major research institutes singing strange chants to the effect that the Universe was only a figment of its own imagination were eventually given a street theater grant and went away."" That statement lost me, but its still early in the morning I guess | |||

"I choose the hotel, book it, pay for it and I'm the only one who stays overnight...and I don't ask for a contribution. That way I host the meet and decide when the guy leaves. Works perfectly for me " | |||

"I don't expect anyone to pay for a hotel room. I do expect someone who doesn't accommodate to read my profile and not contact me,as I don't either, and don't pay for hotel rooms, at the moment. I'm very polite in pointing this out, when asked if a hotel is acceptable. " Same here XXX | |||
