    Keith, I NEVER pay for the woman's dinner (unless the responsibility
of covering the tab goes back and forth, in which case, that's OK); if I do
she thinks she *owes* me something -- which causes severe head trips should
the evening progress as one might expect between two frisky young souls...

    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. OY OY OY!!!
