You're not wrong that you'll weed out the users, the problem is you'll also weed out some decent ones who themselves are trying to weed out low quality guys.
facts.
Y'all actually like coffee or walks in the park that much? Honestly bruh I'm not surprised some women are turning their nose up to it. At least get a damn drink.
Listen. When I factor in the cost of a date. I'm only counting what I spend on THEM. I spoil myself. But why would I want to spend my time doing something I don't really enjoy?
If you prefer drinks, tell her meet you for happy hour(I got a spot that does happy hour till 8pm for the late birds). Most women will only drink once from my experience. That's one $6 margarita. Maybe a plate of chips and queso for $7-$8 or($4 since I'm only counting what I spend on her). If y'all hate each other

you spent $10-$15 on her and you didn't do something boring.
I live in NYC though. My first dates range from $40-$100 depending on what
I want to do. Sometimes I'm hungry so we eat. Sometimes I just want drinks. Sometimes I want to go to a second spot before taking them back to mine 
shyt if you're doing a first date a picnic is a good cheap idea and chics love picnics and she'll be happy to bring something herself. Tell her bring a blanket and some chips. You'll handle the food and wine. Warm weather, wine, some sandwiches and chips on a blanket in the park. She's definitely coming back to yours after the last 3 nikkas tried to take her out for coffee
Bruh y'all really can't be this sad.
