In the clip, Bec speaks directly to camera as she begins: ‘Okay, so I’m a big believer that women should not pay for anything in a relationship.
‘It’s not just because we have queen complex and we need to be treated like a queen – which we should – but I think it goes deeper than that and this is why.
‘In my past relationships, I’ve either gone 50/50 or I’ve got awkward and paid for everything but I’ve always paid for myself and I’ve been really like “no, no, no it’s got to be even, it’s got to be fair.”
‘In all of those relationships, they’ve ended because the guy has ended up feeling insecure and emasculated over time so basically I’ve done that to myself.’
The fitness expert continues: ‘If from the start he was paying for everything it kind of gives him that ego stroke, it gives him that king complex which he deserves to have because he should be treated like a king.

Some women agreed because ‘it’s as much for them as it is for us’ but others said they wanted to retain their independence
‘It makes him feel like the boss and he will never get emasculated because it gives him that upper hand.
‘He feels like the carer and guys need that feeling.’
Bec concluded: ‘So think, if we don’t pay for things and the guy does that and he’s the carer and looks after us, in the end it will end up being a happier, longer lasting relationship because there will never be a power struggle.’
But social media users have been left divided on the theory.
Some women agreed because ‘it’s as much for them as it is for us’ but others said they wanted to retain their independence.
