Why is anyone spending that much on a date? FFS, you can find plenty of great, cheap eats in NYC. You just gotta look. Husband and I routinely go into Boston to dine and have never broken 65 bucks for food.
Fr, 200$?? like WTF?? For 200$ you can just find yourself a good expensive hooker and you save yourself the time and effor LOL But to be real, just maybe, dont go out with random golddiggers and basic girls. Personally, if its not a 50/50 or each one pays their stuff; its a red flag. And you can easily spot if its gonna be that or not from the tinder profile pic lol
escorts in my city are closer to 400-500/hr to start, plus you have to tip them too. so 2 hour date is going to run you $1000, plus the cost of food and beverage.
Damn bro stop telling on yourself
where do you eat, fast food places? mcdonalds?
i live in boston and for me to eat alone it's $65 minimum at any average place. a nice place it will be twice that.
hell dinner for two at tasty burger will run you $50 now for two drinks two burgers and a large bascet of fries.
Off the top of my head - we will go to Chinatown and hit the dim sum joints, Hai La Moon - meal for two - less than 60 bucks - with tip.
MFA has days where the price is discounted and you can pay what you want.. https://www.mfa.org/visit/free-and-discounted-admission
Cheap shit is everywhere. All you gotta do is do a bit of digging to find it.
Well yeah, you're not it
Why do peacocks have such ridiculously inefficient feathers? Bird tail feathers can be as little as 1 inch long.
If someone expects me to pay a massive amount of money on a first date, that woild be a dealbreaker for me. Why should I reinforce any traditional gender roles in a crumbling capitalistic society
Different people exist
I know, but it seems short sighted to me to accept only a single possibility for dating which involves spending a lot of money
