I still don’t understand why guys get all up in arms when a woman wants to split the check. On the other hand, it might be a good way to get guys to self-select on the first date: if they have issues with going dutch, maybe they are not worth your time.

I agree with this except we still live at a time where far too many women feel they can’t ask a man out (and too many men feel uncomfortable with being asked out by a woman) thus men end up paying more often. So the problem isn’t quite solved.
