    You keep running into the stereotypical “date”, which is a dinner and sometimes includes a movie. You actually can do better with just like “hey I’ve been wanting to try bouldering at this rock climbing gym, want to check it out together?” Or similar. Don’t think in terms of dinner dates. Think in terms of activities you would like to do with your significant other long term. My wife and I currently take adult gymnastics classes and almost never go out to dinner.

      I’d rather kill myself than go on trendy expensive activity dates dude.

      I invite women to go on bike rides and hike and go to museums and other stuff, and they never say yes. They ALWAYS say yes to dinner and drinks. WEIRD.

        Well, maybe that’s because they are not interested in you, but wouldn’t mind free dinner. And maybe they aren’t interested in you, because you come off as a bitter misogynistic prick.

        Who wouldn’t prefer free dinner over hiking with a potentially murderous stranger?

          that’s funny. they do tell me I’m a misogynstic prick because I won’t buy them a dinner that’s expensive enough.

          Apparently if you spend $100 you HATE WOMEN. but if you spend $300, you don’t.

          weird…

            It’s almost like the dinner needs to be worth it to endure having to spend time with you.

            Maybe think about why that is?
            Hint: It’s not everyone else.
