I spent the previous year either unemployed or working at minimum wage and when I went out with women (making say, ~20000/year) I STILL PAID HALF. Now is that fair, considering she was making thrice to infinitely more than I? *Of course not*, but I'll tell you one thing, treating a person as a complete equal, regardless of the circumstances, has gotta be the surest prescription for a rollicking good time I ever saw. On the other hand, I remember the neanderthal women in Reston, VA. Maybe you've got no choice. Poor young laddies they are out on the east coast.
