There is a delicate [[etiquette]] surrounding going Dutch. It may be accepted in some situations, such as between non-intimate friends or less affluent people, but considered stingy in other circumstances, such as on a romantic [[dating|date]] or at a business lunch. |

The traditional way to handle a bill on a date in the West has been that the one who invited the other takes the bill and the invitee may not even know the actual price of the meal{{Fact|date=June 2008}}. |

"Anybody Seen My Baby?" is a typical song from the'' Bridges to Babylon''-era Stones. It features wide-ranging inspirations, including sampling of [[hip-hop]] artist [[Biz Markie]], making it one of the few songs by The Rolling Stones to include sampling (Bridges to Babylon is the only Rolling Stones album to include sampling). Bass and keyboards on the song is performed by [[Jamie Muhoberac]] while [[Waddy Wachtel]] performs acoustic guitar. The song has a distinctive R&B feel, driven by Muhoberac's bass. Jagger, Richards, and Wachtel perform electric guitars. |
|||
==Etymology== |
|||
The phrase "going Dutch" probably originates from Dutch [[etiquette]]. In the [[Netherlands]], it is not unusual to pay separately when going out as a group. When dating in a 1 on 1 situation however, the man will most commonly pay for meals and drinks. English rivalry with [[The Netherlands]] especially during the period of the [[Anglo-Dutch Wars]] {{Fact|date=February 2007}} gave rise to several phrases including ''Dutch'' that promote certain negative [[stereotype]]s. Examples include [[Dutch courage]], [[Dutch uncle]] and [[Dutch wife]]. The particular stereotype associated with this usage is the idea of Dutch people as ungenerous and selfish. |
|||
In Italy, the expression ''pagare alla romana'' can be translated as: "To pay like people of Rome" or "to pay like they do in Rome". It has the same meaning as "going Dutch". |
|||
The song was a worldwide hit in 1997, reaching Top 20 in Europe and #3 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks. [[Angelina Jolie]] appears in the video as a stripper who leaves mid-performance to wander New York City. |
|||
The corresponding phrase in Turkish is ''hesabı Alman usulü ödemek'', which can be translated into English as "to pay the bill the German way". |
|||
Some South American countries use the Spanish phrase ''pagar a la americana'' (literally "To pay American style") which refers to a trait attributed to people from the U.S.A. or Canada. |
|||
"Anybody Seen My Baby?" would go on to be the only track from ''Bridges to Babylon'' to appear on the Stones' 2002 career retrospective ''[[Forty Licks]]''. |
|||
In Argentina specifically, 'a la romana' (exact translation of Italian's 'pagare alla romana') is widely used and 'pagar a la americana' (pay American style) doesn't exist. {{Fact|date=February 2007}} |

==Notes== |
|||
In Guatemala the phrase is "a la ley de Cristo... cada quien con su pisto" which is used more as a rhyme with the word "Cristo" and "pisto" - rather than having a religious connotation... |

==Feminist support for Dutch date practice== |
|||
During the advent of [[Second-wave feminism|second wave feminism]], the late 1960s and 1970s, the women's movement encouraged women to understand aspects of their own personal lives as deeply politicized. Many feminists investigated the framework and assumptions of traditional courtship roles. They subscribed to the idea that there should be equality of the sexes, not just legally, but socially and sexually. |
|||
They held that it was mature, empowering and self-respecting for women to pay their own way in romantic dates. They were rejecting traditional [[gender role]] assumptions that men should make more money and should pay for affections through dinners and other date costs. In this way, women were making an equal investment in the cost of [[courtship]]. |
|||
It became more common for women to pay their own way or to pay for men's meals. Some women were offended if their male dining partner "grabbed the check." |
|||
==Opposition to Dutch Practice== |
|||
Since the 1990s, many women have abandoned 1970s feminism's ideals for equality of gender roles and relationships. Many have reverted to adopting 'traditional' investment in the courting relationship, and assumptions about men's responsibility to spend money to express affection. The feminist view point is that the other result of this is the creation of a debt or a feeling that female now 'owes' the male something, redeemable through the offering of sexual favours. Women began to choose not to put themselves in this position and thus empowered themselves by paying their own way.[http://dearsugar.com/118180] [http://web.archive.org/web/20060404110842/http://www.seductioninsider.com/men/going_dutch.shtml] |
|||
Social custom also varies among same-sex couples. Most often, it is the inviter or the one whose financial situation most lends him or her to pay who does so. The lack of rigid tradition, however, leaves no widely adopted custom. |
|||
==International practices== |
|||
In [[Sweden]], the practice of splitting the bill in restaurants is common. In a courtship situation where both parts have a similar financial standing, which is commonplace in Sweden, the traditional custom of the man always paying in restaurants has largely fallen out of use and is by many, including etiquette authorities{{who}}, considered old fashioned. Generally a romantic couple will take turns paying the bill or split it. It is generally assumed that everyone pays for himself or herself in restaurants unless the invitation stated otherwise. |
|||
In most of northern and central Europe the practice of splitting the bill is common. On a dinner date, the man may pay the bill as way of overtly stating that he views this as a romantic situation and that he has some hopes or expectations for a future development. Some women object to this or even find it offensive (per ''Feminist support for Dutch date practice'' above) so it is a judgment call. Younger urban women especially tend not to accept men paying for them; or will in turn insist to pay for the next dinner or drink. |
|||
In south European Countries such as [[Italy]], [[Greece]] or [[Portugal]] it is rather uncommon for locals have separate bills, sometimes even regarded rude, especially when in larger groups. But in urban areas or places frequented by tourists this has changed over the last decades. |
