POLL: Ladies, would you ditch him if he splits the bill on your first date?

Cultural roles and expectations for men and women vary from one society to another and get more sensitive when it bothers on who should handle the bill incurred on a first date.

Even in Africa, an argument that men should handle more financial obligations in a relationship than the women may be countered as been chauvinistic and unfounded.

However, some women are still of the opinion that one of the best impressions a man could make on a first date is proving he can financially commit to the relationship by taking care of the bill.

Another school of thought argues that splitting the bill for a romantic outing with the man provides them with a sense of self-worth and prevents awkwardness, especially on a first date.
