When it comes to splitting the bill, in reality poor and middle-class people tend to split the bill. Unless you’re rich, the guy will just pay—but even then, rich guys will date rich women, and rich women will date rich guys. A rich person wouldn’t be caught dead with someone who’s middle class. No rich guy would date a woman who comes from a middle-class family, and vice versa. So when it comes to splitting the bill, it’s mostly for poor people.
There’s more reasons than just money to split the bill.
I always insisted on splitting the bill on first dates. Sometimes a man would pay the bill behind my back after I said I wanted to split it. I would not date those men again.
So it can be a filter, too.

Super weird take.
You think people only date or have relationships within specific economic classes? Ooof.
