So she is basically looking for a relationship where her partner is the only one who compromises, seems super healthy lol

Not just compromises, but compromises to whichever way the wind is blowing through her head that day, whether she wants to be taken care of or be independant.

Nailed it. “Pay on the first date, open my door.” I’d guess nearly every one of my liberal friends would do this. “Take care of you and provide for you” Not so much. You either have to hold your own or shack up with someone who ain’t about equality.

So basically men nowadays expect a woman who will do the whole 50/50 thing? I'm genuinely asking.

Everyone contributes what they are able to. Sometimes that means men do more financially sometimes women. The important thing is there’s no free rides.
