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 $1000, plus the cost of food and beverage.
Damn bro stop telling on yourself
For 200$ that would be my thought process lol. I'm not spending 30$+ on a random meeting with someone im not even sure i'll click with.
How about spending $30 to eat something good while meeting a new person? You talk as if dates were simple transactions where you pay for the possibility of having sex with someone. If that's dating for you than you're right, just go get a hooker.
