This seems to be a growing trend. You'd offer to meet for drinks and they would decline but say that they are open to meeting for dinner instead. I promptly un-match these dinner wh0res but can't help wondering what's behind this seemingly new trend? It certainly wasn't like that even a couple of years ago. Is it because of social media and female "influencers" telling women to "know their worth" and demand free dinners? Has anyone else noticed this?
I saw an increasing trend, especially with 30 and above women, in terms of wanting to see putting effort
that is why i try to avoid that age group as much as possible on dating apps
maybe it is not only dinner dates level, but for sure they demand aggressively effort from your side, to “ prove your worth”
I recently talked with a girl on a dating app and she expected me to go on the other side of the city to pick her up ( big city ) which would take me like 1h, when I told her that it is a big ask she replied that “ my future partner is a provider and a protector “. I replied with “aha”
the sad thing though is that I am sure that are plenty of sad souls that would do these kind of stuff for women
but like
@Clockwerk50 mentioned, women who come with unreasonable things usually have a lot of self worth issues and trauma
if you have decent self esteem as a woman, you know that going for a drink / coffee/ whatever with a guy means nothing, and it is just a way to see if there is a connection or not, especially when you guys meet on dating apps. Why would you expect a grand gesture from him, when for you it is not really an important thing
all in all, I think the current culture just destroys society as a whole, and instead of being an anchor for people to be functional, it just anchored them to be not functional and pretending that is perfectly normal and natural to not be functional and annoying for the rest of society
though it still makes me laugh hard the thing that girl told me “ my future partner is a provider and a protector” so he should waste 1h to go and pick some chick for the first date haha
