    Those aren’t dates. those are friends/family activities.

    How many women think it’s romantic to take her to a movie at 12pm for the cheap matinee show and then take her out for a $3 coffee afterwards? dating is about romance. romance is going to a evening film, and think a nice dinner afterwards. she wants you to take her away fro a weekend to a nice bnb in the coutnryside or a beachhouse, she wants to go traveling with you to another country.

    You know how enjoys 12pm movie and ice cream dates? my nephews when they were children. women don’t want to be treated like 6-12 year old children. they want to go on adult romantic dates. and those are expensive.

    yeah, after we are married and pop out a kid or two, i’m sure she’d like a 12pm movie and going for ice cream, but that’s not courtship.

      Dating is whatever you want it to be. There’s no rules. Women can be chill and just want to hang out and spend time with you. There’s tons of low cost/free activities.I don’t spend that kind of money until I’m sure the relationship is going somewhere and even then it’s for special occasions not regular dates. If whomever I’m dating has a problem with that they can find someone else. I’m not interested in paying to play.

      You’re describing very established couples style dates, not just started dating dates.

      You continue chasing those materialistic people who refuse a low key ice cream/coffee date, I guess. It’s your wallet.

      If your only way to keep a woman interested is throwing money at it, then that says a lot about you.

      Most women want to be treated like a person, not a trophy to be won by hitting an arbitrary budget threshold. Romance is an interaction between two people. The activity doesn’t much matter if you’re actually connecting.

      Reading through a load of your comments in this thread and I think you really just need to lower your own standards. I promise you that not all women are so very money-centric as you are making them out to be.
