The Dutch are some of the most inhospitable people I have ever encountered and being in a cosmopolitan city where people from everywhere co-exist (and having to deal with these selfish, self-centered lot on a daily basis at work), I can safely say that I'm in a position to make this judgment.
Therefore, contrary to what everyone thinks, "Going Dutch" might probably have originated from the fact that the Dutch couldn't care less about other people and would only save their own asses in most situations. Thus, to "Go Dutch" is to care only about your share/part of the bill.
