- If a woman is willing to foot the bill, I would let her do it even if I am the one who has asked her out. I would not feel less of a man by that. It would even show that she is capable of taking care of herself. If the bill is too much, there would be no shame in me asking her to foot a part of it. You have to be very honest with one another in a relationship.

- If he is the one who has asked me out, obviously he has to foot the bill. It is his responsibility, just as it is mine if I am the one who has asked him out. Would I contribute to paying the bill if he has asked me out? It would depend on how close we are. If he is my good friend, I would contribute to paying the bill. But I would not make it a habit.

Ann Nabawanuka, hairdresser
- If it is the man who has taken me out, it is his obligation to foot the bill. I can only contribute if the money is too much and he cannot afford it. And it would entirely be out of guilt having eaten all those things and not pay a thing. It is wise for women to contribute to the bill if you do not want to be taken for granted.

Mbowa Mugalu, driver
- Ever since this women emancipation thing came up, I expect women and men to share responsibilities. It does not matter who has asked who out. If we are hanging out together, we have to pay 50–50. I pay for what I have eaten; likewise she has to pay for whatever she has eaten. A woman who does not help foot the bill is just playing games. She is just after having fun and I would not take them serious at all. When she foots the bill, it stimulates my love for her.
