Anyone who spends $200 on a first date is stupid. Maybe $500 on up if it's a nice escort but $200 on a date lol.
I'm sure there is a lot of betas who make 150k a year who spend that on a first date though. First meeting should cost no more than $25 for a coffee, ice cream or a couple cheap drinks. The second meeting I can see spending $80 including tip. I would never go fancy unless in a relationship.
This creates free dinner date women and hurts the rest of us.
if I clearly liked the girl and I didn’t detect entitlement AND she wasn’t earning good money I would spend maybe $120 on a first date. That’s a modest restaurant in my city.
others I would suggest the pub, mini golf….it depended really. My wife first date was like $100.
on topic, one girl (pretty hot) had a profile which
literally said “I’ve got 4 kids from 4 men but at the age of 22 I want a nice guy. I’ve had enough bad boys”. No shyt. 22! to be fair to her I have no idea how she did it as she was very slim and quite pretty.
what puzzled me with OLD was I could get what I consider quite good women, but it was the super hot ones I struggled with but also the low value ones. A few times I saw women close to me, just about do able and I thought im bored, why not. They never got back. Then sometimes I spoke to women I believed close to out of my league and they did.
my main objective on old was finding what I thought of as undervalued assets lol. Women who did not do the whole makeup, photo studio LV clothes thing BUT would look good dolled up or naked. There was a lot of nice women on there if you looked beyond the witchcraft of the top tier.
makeup, lighting, hairdos etc can make a 5 an 8 and an 8 a 5. It’s so integral to attractiveness and a lot of guys don’t spot it as we are visual and can’t critically analyse what’s going on.
