Men, Are We the Ones Making Money the Standard in Dating?

Many men complain that women have turned relationships into a money matter and look down on men who are still struggling. But we should be honest about the role men play in creating that expectation. A man who wants to appear important often leads with money. He may boast about what he can spend or ask, “How much can you finish?” That message can make it seem as though financial spending is the main proof of a man’s value. When this becomes normal, dating starts to feel like a competition where the highest bidder wins. Money is important, but it should be a tool, not a man’s entire identity. We need to offer character, respect, emotional maturity and genuine partnership too.
