Yeah, my partner of 10+ years went on multiple dates to museums, parks, and botanic gardens in the first month. We ate delicious Mexican food after, all super cheap.
This was great because now it’s a tradition for us to go to museums on every vacation.
museum entry where i live is $50 now. yeah 15 year ago it as $15-20. i used to get a yearly membership for $60, now that membership is $200.
mexican dinner used to be $10, sure, but now it’s $15-20 for a burrito at a cheap place, and a nice sit down mexican place is going to be $25-30 for a burrito.
so many people here are out of touch with how dating and going out costs are in 2026. you are living 10-20 years in the past.
My museum dates were taking advantage of free museum Tuesdays for residents.
You have stated you live in Boston, I was there last year. Beautiful city with so many inexpensive museum options, plus the massive park that had events going on every day that I was there and the historical walks were great. Try some of these:
Harvard Museum of Natural History: $15 per person, $75 individual membership
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum: $22 per person, $75 individual membership
The Institute of Contemporary Art: $20 per person, $65 individual membership
Museum of African American History: $15 per person, $35 for basic individual membership with one guest, $75 for the same with 2 guests
The Sports Museum: $18.47 per person
USS Constitution Museum: $15 per person
Harvard Art Museum: free
Boston Public Library: free. This one was my absolute favorite, we spent 4 hours wandering the halls looking at paintings and sculptures, I could have been there all day
Many of these have discounted admission for residents and members. There is also the Boston Aquarium, which is $39.95 per person, but that can easily be turned into a multiple hour event and membership is only $79 per individual. They aren’t all $50, you just have to look at their websites and check for discounts.
Women don’t want to go on museum dates. they are considered cheap and low effort.
Wow, let’s go to the BPL and watch homeless people masturbate to porn on the public PCs, SO ROMANTIC, so charming! Let’s go to the constitution and hang out with a sweaty crowd of poorly dressed tourists! wow, so romantic! lets go to the aquarium and enoy the stink of penguin shit and hordes of unsupervised kids running around! wow! so romantic!
How do I know? I ask them out to them and they tell me I’m cheap and they deserve better and they reject the idea and then reject me for suggesting it. What do they always say yes to? going out for dinners and cocktails…
Most of those aren’t even museums, btw. They are like single rooms, and some of them are just straight up gross on the inside. The MFA is $30 for a basic ticket, and more for special exhibits. That’s more a of a legit museum date that I would take someone on. Two tickets for a special exhibit is $80, because they include lots of fees and you have to book them online because they are time and sell out.
Please tell me more how you don’t date and know nothing about my city. You were a tourist. You don’t live here. You got the mile high tourist experience. You think I should pretend to be a tourist who thinks Boston is amazing by going to our crappy cheap museums… but in my world everyone has been to these places dozens of times already and they have no interest in going to a Harvard Natural history museum they went to when they were a teenage on a school trip… so they can see the exact same rocks and stuffed animals they saw 20 years ago. A lot of the places you are suggesting are crappy and unchanging and boring to a local resident and I don’t even want to go to them myself.
Yeah, when I travel I go to lots of museums, it’s fun. But the vast majority are one and done, as a local doesn’t repeatedly visit them because, nothing changes. Aside from the MFA, which is the only museum we have that really rotates things regularly, due to their massive collection.
I know you are trying got ‘be helpful’, but what you are suggesting dates for teenagers or out of town tourists. Not working urban professionals in their 30s/40s. That’s what I am and that’s who I date. The last time I went took a woman on a cheap museum date I was like 25 and broke and so was she, but I’m not going to take a 35 year old woman to a museum for children and she is going to think I am a man-child weirdo for suggesting we do that. They are grown ups and they want to do grown up things, like going out a nice restaurant.
Hi! I have a vagina and I identify as a woman, I am also a working professional in my 40s and I live in an urban area. I love museums and I think they make perfect dates and I often go to the same museums multiple times. The Boston Public Library was beautiful, there is an entire section that is dedicated to art and history. I didn’t see a single thing that you described during my walk through. There was a live taping for the local NPR station at the cafe though, that was pretty cool to watch.
I’ve noticed your complaints up and down this thread, I’ve also noticed them around the threadiverse for a while and I am beginning to see a pattern. You tend to be aggressively argumentative, denigrate women as a whole/complain about “woke”, refuse to see things from other people’s perspectives, and don’t listen to anyone’s advice. Have you ever heard the phrase “if everyone around you is an asshole, then maybe you’re the asshole”? Perhaps part of the issue is your behavior and attitude.
Anyway, you can look for ways to change or stay angry, doesn’t make a difference to me. Either way I hope you have a wonderful day ✌️
