Not really sexist, just flat out stupid. Your friends offered to pay your way (for nothing specific in return). All the good of enjoying the activity with none of the bad of paying, and you managed to pass in a way that pissed off those same generous friends.
I think, "I don't want anyone else paying for me." would have been a better choice. Whatever, let em live in their little world. They're not very bright to begin with. Nothing is a bigger mistake than lowering yourself to the level of a dumbass and I think you're right for standing up for yourself and insisting you didn't mean that. Most "men" would have succumbed to that shit. Refer to the weak crap on this thread.
Fuck em. Don't apologize for what you didn't mean. This is overblown already.
Golden Rule: Assholes get laid. You saw it all around you in school remember?

What you said was sexist I'm afraid "not letting a bunch of girls pay" gives the feeling that the girls are some what inferior to you as it sounds as if you dont want them to buy the tickets purely based on their gender. As for being chivalrous? nope the idea is there but the wording is all wrong.TeragRunner said:
I'm not saying of course that you are sexist merely what you said will sound that way in the ears of another.

Edit: Should you apologise for what you did? no, explain your side and if they still spit the dummy then fine you at least took the high ground
dude, wait till you get older, and possibly marred.....you`ll have NO problem takin their money then 
What you intended wasn't. What you said was.
Although I guess it depends on who you're talking to. A feminist would say that it was 100% sexist and that you shouldn't base who you let pay something for you on gender alone.
A normal person would say that you were being chivalrous, but the way you handled it was poor (which was basically what I said).
A chauvinist would have said you weren't being sexist at all.
So, it all depends on your point of view, really. But I'm just rambling.
As for me, being a male, I only accept money from girls when they initially offer and the price I am borrowing is less than $10. And I make sure to pay them back as soon as I can. But that's just me.

I also agree that your move in this situation was dumb. You turned down hanging out with a bunch of girls. Are they all ugly? What is the issue? What is worse is that women have this terrible thing called MEMORIES. They all take down a list of everything you have ever done wrong. This list lasts all their lives. They also share this list with all of their closest friends. This is a fact and if any women denies it she is lying. I am afraid to say that you may have black listed yourself to a great many females in your social group. You are now known as "that rude sexist guy" to all of the girls they know. If you liked any of them it is most likely going to take some time to get back in their good graces. Good luck on that. Women can hold grudges like that for YEARS.
Girls are stupid, and trivial. I love them, but they make big deals out of the most pointless things. Just let it go. Apoligize even, it doesn't hurt. It doesn't make you less of a man.
And yeah, most of the people I've seen are right, you said it poorly but have a valid point. And believe me, saying nice things in a mean way is a lot worse than saying mean things in a nice way. I've lost so many arguments because I refuse to kiss ass and say, "well thats a good point you have there, but..." when I argue because the only reason I argue is because the other person's view isn't a good point. I'm not an argumentative person, but the people who get offended on how I say things really annoy me. Especially when they are dumb enough to say some of the things I've heard people say.
Oops, sorry for the rant OP.

Buy them some tampons so it absorbs all their rage in your stead. Its all about the way you said it, when you are going to say something stupid or maybe insulting, try to say it in such a way that it will ridicule yourself. " No i'm a big boy now i wont let you pay for me!" Something like that. Make them laugh = you get away with ANYTHING.
Do that next time you are about to piss off some girls...

Chivalry usually involves being sexist, standing up for women just on the thought that they can't or shouldn't do something. It's much better to be gentlemanish. And yeah, I also type really fast in respawn times. Since I rarely die, though, my friends get angry at me not answering.
Ah, chivalry is lost on such a sensitive and misguided society... The idea of not having a girl pay your way didn't come from some idea that girls can't handle the responsibility or anything like that, it was born out of respect: the guy pays for the girl, sacrifices his funds for her enjoyment, not vice versa. Holding to that isn't sexist at all.
This. The wording was sexist because it implied that it is somehow degrading for a man to have something paid for buy a woman.Milkatron said:
"I'm not letting a bunch of girls pay my admittance."
The bold words are the ones that make it seem sexist
However you have said that you didn't mean it in that way, rather you meant that you don't like having other people needing to pay for you to do things.
This is what would have been better: "I don't like other people paying for me to do stuff".
