That has to be a joke. I can't believe anyone would actually order a 110 pound dinner on a regular date. Married or seeing one another for an extended period of time and the lobster and expensive wine were agreed to by both parties to celebrate a special event, maybe. But an initial date or anything similar to an initial date? I think the whole thing has to be made up. When I dated, I used to prefer having a dinner date in a place where having a drink without a meal was not unusual, and then you could order a meal if things were going well. I can only recall ordering an entree twice and both times, that was under 20 dollars. It was more typical of me to order an appetizer as a dinner because restaurant portions are typically big and frankly, the calories are often over the top (hence why restaurant food tastes so great in many cases). Not only have I never assumed anyone else was paying for my meal, I have declined a couple of dates who suggested places I simply was not willing to fork out the dollars for. I guess I preferred dinner dates because of my background. I come from a French background and it was not unusual for us to spend 2-3 hours at the table on weekends when I was growing up. Meals were about talking for great lengths of time. While I would not spend 2-3 hours at a restaurant after ordering only an appetizer (the restaurant has to turn customers over), I would still gravitate toward spending time over food, if I were still involved in the dating world.

I don't mind paying cuz I have money. Guys can stick to their "who pays" principles, and oftentimes the principles are very valid...but there are plenty of guys who muck things up cuz they have plenty of money and like to date and bang women, and don't care bout blowing money.....so the "principled" guys will always vulnerable to losing women to these guys who don't mind paying.

No I believe it....you read my story? That meal was over 50 dollars and it was like 25 yrs ago. Inflation it be alot more now. That was in Brooklyn. Manhattan, its easy to spend 110 dollars. That being said, its the guys fault for going to a place that serves lobster.

My Uncle used to get the old Sorry I just don't think we are suited so it took them 3 courses to suss that out lol. There was a guy whom was a serial date skipper after meals too.

My solution has been to always date women with their own money. I hear of guys being used for "foodie calls" all the time, and there has to be something they're doing or not doing to attract them. It's a complete non-issue in my life.

Who Pays?

Well in expensive cities this breed of meal whore is an occupation in itself. Then ofcourse you just have women who believe men have to pay no matter what.if they are a foodie even worst.
You met a person like this during the Tampa meeting. She flew down to join you. She CLAIMS to expect men to buy her food and seemed to always need food in her mouth. The guys often made less than she did.
We also had the guy who was chatting a girl on the phone, they never met and upon hearing how hungry she was, ordered her a cookie delivery or a pizza delivery.i forgot what it was.
There used to be a member who lived in Philly and the women he was to meet demanded a trip to NYC as a first meeting to see Wicked. She told him get be last date took him to see another show. Proof that men create these little monsters by pandering to their wishes.

These guys get to say to their mates look at this hot tottie I'm out on date with Friday night. They don't tell them the price tag though :)

Indeed, that's a 4:30 roundtrip commute and 400+ plus dollar date. Guys mess it up for everyone..that's how entitlement starts.
Yea, that's how it works. Even in countries where tipping in restaurants aren't customary , Americans trying to show off, TIP. Before you know it they all expect tips for bad service and if you speak English and don't tip...they spit in your food. When in Rome...........
Men start a large % the problems other men have, TRYING to be the best they can do.
p.s...I have enough money too but that's ONLY because I don't play along with the buy me this game. There's a cadre of women who play a game "extraction", to see how much they can get from guys and frequently guys actually play this game.
I have a friend who retired from the military..he saw the world from his ship. He said he had a rule: He never pay for anything for a women that costs more than the price of a hooker.He was in Thailand where they cost the price of a happy meal so I think you can see his max expenditures lololo

KJ and I came to the conclusion she and I were the only ones of the bunch whose online and offline personalities paralleled.

^^He didn't because Hawking was smarter than he was lol....I think , maybe.
I was friendly with Belle, shes from the Bronx and all, but I didn't agree with her dating rules. She NEVER had as repeat date or gave any nookie so I think she was clearly using the guys. She basically described her dates as meeting near the subway, walk to food establishment, leave place and walk and then stop for more food/drink at an outside vendor. In no world that I know of is a male responsible for outside purchases that take place outside the dating location. A female pond member said she was disgusted that she felt a man had to stuff her mouth 24/7 lol.
Of course blonde angel and Eternity supported Belle publicly(Eternity had food fair conversations with her). They just made me sick with all the entitlement and whats worst was Eternity always criticized men for being entitled and cheap skates. Double standards anyone? On my radar she wouldn't rate a happy meal.
This profile is a parody: an imitative work created to mock, comment on or trivialize an original work, its subject, author, style, or some other target, by means of satiric or ironic imitation. Requirements are fictional.
***************** Warning!: My "profile" is not for the faint of heart.: ************************** I am not your 'nice guy'. Read my headline if you read anything on here.
***Now ask yourself in all seriousness..Would YOU message or respond to a guy who's profile reads or comes off like the below?? I've seen the exact ‘requirements’ on chicks profiles and made my own version in reverse..**** “First off, I am NOT here to play games, so if you are NOT interested in sex, then I highly suggest you hit the back button now”.
Also :
IF YOU ARE TALLER THAN 5’3 THEN PLEASE HIT THE BACK BUTTON NOW !! I like my women on the petite side. Sorry if I sound like a douche, but that’s just how I feel.
With that said, I am looking for a woman. NOT a girl, but a woman. I want a woman who talks like a woman (not a man).
Oh yes, and you MUST have a tattoo on your lower back. That is a turn on for me. If you do NOT have a tattoo on your lower back, then you are NOT date-able.
Also.. IF YOU ARE OVER 30, I WILL DELETE YOUR MESSAGE. I WILL NOT DATE A GIRL WHO IS THAT OLD.
Also, I only date women who are fit. You must work out and have at least a set of “C’s”. Anything less and you will be deleted from my inbox. Sorry if I sound like a **stard, but I know what I want.
Also, if you wear pants, I will NOT date you. You must wear a skirt. Wearing pants is ghetto, and I do not date ghetto.
Oh, and I don’t like girls who watch soap operas, chick flicks, and Sex in the city. If you do, or have, we will NOT get along.
You MUST be able to make me laugh! If you can't then you = Boo hoo!
You MUST not be able to write full sentences, you must always use text speech or we will not jive
Okay, now that I’ve cleared all of that nonsense up, let me tell you about myself :
I like music and I love going to restaurants (with you paying of course). I'm the sweetest person you'll ever meet. My family means the world to me. I’m very down to earth and I'm an open-minded individual. I like to meet all types of people. I love to laugh! If you think you’ve got what it takes and can handle me, then send me a message!!”
….. ………….. And yes, that’s my parody. Does my parody sound absurd ? Yes, it does. But what is even more absurd is that a good number of women on this silly P.O.F site have profiles similar to my parody. In SOME cases, it’s not as severe (despite some female profiles being MUCH worse than my parody) but they do mention most of the stuff I've wrote about.
Now THAT is absurd!

How was Hawkings? wish he was here.
Actually, Hawking was nothing like his online persona, but in a good way. He wasn't gloomy and was actually more personable than he would likely ever admit.
I was expecting Belle to be more on the boisterous side being a New Yorker and all, but she was rather subdued. She said it was because she was sick.
Tom Da Bomb ended up going off on his own when we passed a club with a shit-ton of twenty-something girls. He was absolutely nothing like his online persona, and I'll just leave that open to interpretation.
I originally wasn't going to go because I didn't feel like driving to Tampa at that time and didn't want to meet at a lame venue. KJ offered to drive and got the others to agree to go to the club of my choosing, so I ended up going. I can't believe it's been almost 5 years ago.
