I have a go-to place I use if I do a dinner date, a local sports bar that has good food and is very reasonable. I don’t always do dinner first but if I have to, that’s where we are going. If they put up a front about a sports bar I have a backup Mexican place that’s cheap lol They ain’t even getting outback for months
Rob mate, I was idealistic as a kid. I didn't know about city girls or hypergamy. Modern women are retarded. They showed that game. It's borderline retarded for men to pay for dates or wait. I do coffee or drinks. That's my intro. No foodie dates for random or prospects. After I hit it, I am less a stickler about spending. I like fine dining and posh Vacas but I am not funding a skanks lifestyle.
One of my mates is that young blood HENRY (High earner not yet rich). On trajectory to be rich by 35 assuming he doesn't goof. He used to spend. Got screwed on foodie dates. Would show up in the Audi or Benz to impress from Go! Got no play. I told him to switch it up. Gets bare matches OLD doesn't approach. The presupposition is she's hot girl summer, city girls etc. Till proven otherwise. Burn rate was off the charts. Now if he pays, it's high end sugar babies. Drinks. No fine dining. Not my style. His outcomes improved drastically by not doing dinners or paying.
I got routine venues, bars, cafes, and fine dining spots. Off rip their social status or perceived preselection. It's a brilliant idea. Have spots but similar to a sales funnel I run girls through the process. Push I pull. She pulls I push. I don't make it easy. MM was wrong about 7hrs but genius with bouncing location. Assumed familiarity. creates a yes ladder. compliance is the game.
