    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 ✌️
