ill never understand how women can spend time with a dude they have no interest in just for a free meal or experience
i have two women tryna take me out for my birthday - one for drinks and one for dinner - and i dont even care for all that, even though i'm feeling them. they can just come over and kick it or i might even just sspend the night alone. kinda shows you how differently men and women are wired
however, i think the key distinction is that if a woman can take herself out to nice restaurants and shyt she will be wired more similarly to me in that her time is more valuable. it really only be the broke women that care about all that wining/dining shyt. i say all that to say, if a girl cares about how much you spend on her, its often because she is broke and has no understanding of money. As a result, a dude taking her out is the only way she can have nice dinners or experiences.
last chick i took out for her birthday, took her out for a nice dinner, drinks and even sent her flowers. spent about $300 and she had the nerve to say i seemed frugal weeks later. meanwhile i got chicks tryna take me out and I am telling them i'm straight.
