CMV The person who invited another out should pay (unless agreed upon previously)

[edit]**Thank you guys for your comments, I appreciate your answers!**  

    My view was slightly changed. I will still be ready to cover when inviting, but will communicate more when being invited.

I am talking about movies, dates, shows etc.

I invite someone out to a movie? I don't ask them if they have money? I will pay. I think it's unfair to get a person and launch them into the situation of 'spend money or don't spend time with me'. I think that if you ask someone to join you, you start with the assumption that they have no equipment that deals with the particular situation (that is in your control, of course).

If I ask someone out I will pay, and vice versa (I would expect).

What are your views, and should my view be changed?

Why should you start with the assumption that the invited party has no means of dealing with the particular situation? Unless you're inviting over a friend who is clearly living off of food stamps, most people will have some spare cash for a movie ticket.

Why would you choose to abide by an assumption so detached from what most people go through?

What person isn't aware of the fact that going out to dinner or a movie involves cash? Of course the person on the receiving end of the invitation will be aware of this. You're not launching them into any situation.

It's not like they get invited to the movies and then lo and behold they're confounded by the fact that money is involved and one of the two parties now has to settle payment. Everyone's well aware.

If anything, going around assuming everyone should pay for you just because you were invited to something is the strange reasoning here unless explicitly stated that you will have your costs covered.
