I would argue that a woman is going to spend money on haircuts and nice clothes for the most part anyway. When I think of expenses as it relates to dating, I am thinking of who is picking up a majority of the costs as it relates specifically to the dates.
Who is paying for admission to the movies, the theme park, the zoo, etc? Who is picking up the tab at bars and restaurants? Who is typically responsible for giving flowers?
I'm sure I missed a lot of things, but I think you get the point. In my opinion, the man pretty much is responsible for 100% of all of that, at least when you are still in the courting stage. Me personally, once we move from dating to actual boyfriend and girlfriend, that is when I start to move things over to 50/50 regarding expenses.
Why is it done this way? Tradition.
