I'm also going to ask my ladies what they think about this because women I've met have had different perspectives on it and I think some of them are valid !
When it comes to dating, I'm a very traditional woman in a traditional area. In my opinion, the few dollars that a man saves by splitting a bill/check isn't worth more than the respect/trust that he loses. I've never really understood why some guys do it?

Imo I think you should pay 50/50 once it’s a more established relationship

I’m more of a “let me worry about the money part” woman. In an ideal world I’d be a patron of my partners desires able to pay/pave their way and support them monetarily in every endeavor

I’m a broke college student, so I don’t expect another broke college student to be paying for everything. I learned how to finance my money well and don’t mind paying, if I am able to afford it

Very fair. I'm almost out of college and thankfully doing well with $ and because of my age most guys who I'd be dating have big boy jobs already so it's a little different for me!

I don’t think it’s as different as you think, I’m a senior and about to graduate but never would expect a guy that has a big boy job to still spend on everything for me. This is very hypothetical if I were to date a guy with an actual job rn. I also view it as a way of them being able to like turn it back on me, but that’s just a fear of my own.

I understand that fear girl. Historically men have used dates/dinners/gifts as a way to buy or trade s*x from women. That is always a risk that exists between the lines of it all. I think the most important thing I remember when it comes to that is that good men and abusive/manipulative men exist everywhere regardless of money, class, etc. If a man simply isn't the type to do that, he simply won't.

Since I don't subscribe to the idea that women should put out because a guy buys them dinner, I don't do that. And I don't pay for my portion of the dinner to "get me out of having to put out" send some abstract signal to the guy that I don't want to have s*x after dinner. I'm very upfront with that kind of thing before a date even happens.

Everyone should be treated and spoiled and cared for! Like I personally show my love through gifts and kind acts so it's not like I'm saying the guy shouldn't be shown love or anything. I just wouldn't understand a guy who adamantly refused to take care of things every time when money was involved.
