First date = last date...
A guy tries for weeks to get a date with a woman who is a social media influencer. She claims she was bored and agreed to go out. Her choice was a place called Fontaine’s Oyster House where they claim to have the freshest oysters in the city.The Tuesday's special was a dozen oysters for $15.
When she was on the 4th dozen of oysters with Tabasco sauce, looking for some cocktails, crab cakes and potatoes. He excuses himself to the restroom, only not to return.
The woman video tapes the event to post to TikTok and it gets more than 5 million views.
The waiter recognized the woman and stated "She's here every Tuesday"

Ladies have been using men now for "foodie dates" The only intention the woman has for going on a date with the man is to get a free meal. She has no interest in the man other than him paying for her food.
...at least that are what experts recommend men do these days.

I thanked her and called two days later to see if she wanted to go out again the following week.
She told me I lived too far and didn't want to start a relationship.

If it's a first date with a stranger, and you're worried about being a meal ticket don't go to dinner.
How come you don't see her date, or hear any conversation, not even once?
Am I right in thinking TikTok pays 2-4 cents per 1,000 views?
So, 5 million views would $1,000-2,000? Plus the infamy investment for future 'influencing'.
All for an outlay of $100 meal, a manicure and a couple of hours work.
Assuming she paid for the meal rather than the restaurant giving her a freebie for the free advertising.
And it's such a wonderfully misogynist topic to be eagerly snapped up by the bitter and self-righteous.
Meal ticket, my arse.
She set up a 'scam', but not in the way she 'influenced' people to think.
She did her job cleverly, if not ethically, and was well paid for it.

Are you ok, Jacs?
But, when we think this person is an influencer...we need to stand back and wonder why we would even care...
Does she make money..sure...maybe we need to take the social media away from the children...
Making such mistake does not sound you at all!

I like her.
Clearly neither of them had great conversational skills or perhaps there would have been second dates.
I like her.
Hope you get what I mean. Pardon my English.
But then, that's in restaurants in here. Not sure in the US though.
But maybe the potato wedges were hiding their abusive behaviours in public, eh?
PS. Maybe stop watching videos of men objectifying women and trying to make out it's feminism. Just sayin'.
Second she made it somewhat plain in her video she regarded him as a stalking pest who maybe she should have just blocked.
He suggests going out for drinks, and she names an establishment known for it's food, not drinking. That is a clear indication that food is going to be a part of the date. Note his email later. Yeah, she is a noisy slurper when eating. Some may find that a turn off, some wouldn't care. Mic location may have a lot to do with that however.
Third, during the course of the date he goes and hides in the restroom rather than pay the bill, so she pays it and leaves a tip too. Then only after she has paid the costs, he comes out of hiding. That is not acceptable first date behavior. If you can't afford the date, don't go, and certainly don't agree on an eatery if you have no money in you pocket. If you really need the alcohol and can't afford a bar, meet in a park and bring a bottle of wine. Whatever, but go to a restaurant for a date expect to spend money.
He ceratinly sounds a little crazy and yes she should have blocked him. But sometimes you think, maybe they aren't as creepy/crazy as they seem, so why not meet him. She did, and suspicion confirmed.
His little whiny excuse, I only agreed to drinks, not food too, doesn't cut it. He asked her out and agreed on a place that served food with the drinks. A few drinks were all he could afford on his 'cash card?" Those are usually tied to a bank account, so he is saying he is penniless? Maybe the time to mention a fund shortage is before agreeing to the location of the date. Maybe you shouldn't even ask for one if you are the kind of penniless bum that would stiff a woman with the bill after taking her on a date.
Cheap dates.., in this area there are plenty of nice women who would be perfectly happy with a low stress first date at a McD or even a walk in the park on a nice day as a way of getting to know the man. Not near an ocean we don't have fresh oyster bars. We do have steak houses though (lots of them) and I am fully aware if she insists on a steak house as the place to have a few drinks, vs. one of our many 'hole in the wall' bars that don't bother with things like food, then I should be prepared to spend some money. Then there is the consideration, this woman will cost me $70 to feed, vs the other woman, who is just as pretty, working as a cashier in the dollar store, who would be overjoyed to meet me for a Big Mac and maybe go somewhere to kill a six pack of Budweiser. What does the expensive woman bring to the party the lower cost date doesn't? In this case, not very much.
