I'm not even close to as old as you and I think this is a dumb way to determine whether a girl is "scummy". Back in my day (which, as mentioned, wasn't nearly as long ago as Cheese's day), if I asked a lady out on a date there was no expectation on my part that she would pay. I did not judge her based on whether she offered to pay. I'm taking you out, it's my treat.
I might feel different if the date was her idea or we were going out and doing something on her request/demand. I wouldn't expect her to pay, but it might be nice for her to offer once in a while in those circumstances.
If you're concerned about dating spoiled princesses, I think there are ways to figure that out before you get the cheque on the first date. Hell, can't you figure that out before you even decide to ask her out? You just ask girls out because they're hot and then get to know them later? Is that how it works these days?
