My god Phoebe always tells truth.
So, it is an universal thing that boy should pay for the bill?
I have heard some arguments on this issue, but I think it is different circumstance. If you are out for a blind date, then I guess nothing wrong with splitting the bill. But if you ask a girl out, then there is no question about who should pay.
When Pete asked Monica for a meal, sure he paid for the flight, but Monica insisted to pay for the pizza, and they were both casual with it.
So if you are a millionaire or go out with a millionaire, would you let the girl pay for anything, or would you insist to pay for anything?
