Comments:  Before I conducted my survey, I kind of expected the results that I received. Although a lot of people reacted in a “new” way to questions like “It’s ok for women to earn more money than her mate” by agreeing with it, it was interesting to see how many people still felt strongly about boys conventionally paying for dates. And although the image of women is strongly changing throughout society, a stereotypical image is still lurking over men.
