I'm a tech guy. I dont mind the occasional redistribution of wealth from corporations. I can even appreciate exploits found in the wild like this or doing hacking when it doesn't hurt people.

What this signals, though, is that you are cheap. I side with the girl on this. It's a date. Pay for the meal and show her you can be normal first.

How is it still expected for men to pay in this day and age. When I'm on a date I'm looking for an equal partner, not a dependent.

Me, disabled and just wanting someone to be with: side eye

IME it hasn't been expected in some time, at least from me. If I invite someone out on a date, I'm usually offering, but I've definitely had many split checks and a few that paid for the whole thing.
