Here's how much Americans spend on dating at every age. (via CNBCMakeIt)
$500
Men spent $361 more than women over the course of 2019 on dating, the survey found. This discrepancy could be due to the fact that people in search of a heteronormative relationship often still abide by traditional courtship "rules," which dictate that the man is obligated to pay, LendingTree reports.
By generation, Gen Xers spent the most, putting $537 more toward dates than those in Gen Z. This could be due to the amount of expendable income they have compared to other generations. Americans typically earn and spend the most between 45 and 54,If you want to date, but don't have an endless amount of cash to put toward it, you aren't alone. Of those polled, one in three participants say they've "turned down dates because of money" or due to a shortage of cash.
In that situation, many people would be open about their finances: 50% of men and 48% of women say they'd tell the truth if they were asked on a date, but couldn't afford to go out. At the same time, 26% of men and 19% of women say they'd front the cost by using a credit card and 18% of men and 21% of women say they'd simply pass on the date without offering an explanation.
