I wouldn't read it too literally. The answer isn't treating someone to a theme park visit every time. The point is they got chatting and went with the flow. That's what it takes. Doesn't lead to a friendship every time but eventually it will.

The meme does not only suggest a conversation is needed. It implies money is needed. "Going with the flow" in the US TBH probably will cause the average person to spend an irresponsible amount of money. I know because I've done that and burned a number of holes in my wallet in pursuit of friends (and intimacy). Sure it works plenty of times, but its not sustainable unless you've got plenty of money to burn. Most people don't.

It doesn't, though. He was going to an activity, met a person on the way there, and invited the person to join. Had he been on his way to a free activity the gesture would be free.

"Going with the flow" doesn't necessarily mean "blow all your life savings", and it's kind of ridiculous to claim that it does. I'm sorry you seem to have been exploited by some people you were trying to connect with, but that's not what is being encouraged here.

The taxi driver should have said he never had his dick sucked by a passenger.

You may need to consider whether you're watching too much porn. And never ask your sister to do your washing.

Its a good thing that isn't what I said.

It really doesn't make any claims that you need money to do this. You could do this with a local park or hike.

Money helps broaden your options but isn't required to chat with people.
