So recently I went out with this young lady. She was 35 and very attractive. We have go for dinner and she orders a $35 glass of wine. I thought okay, strike one. And then she orders about $200 worth of food and barely eats any of it.
I go ahead to tell her this is not going to work out and call her a cab. I pay the bill and walk away only to be screamed at, called cheap and I wake up this morning being put on blast. So I ask all of you, whats the deal, did I do wrong here?

My position is simple, I say I should have hit the eject quicker and let her pay for her own $200 meal. But no, I opted to pay the bill and walk away.

The only mistake was the restaurant was way overpriced.

Maybe but I had a nice meal for $60. But everything she ordered was the most expensive items on the menu. If I had spent under $200 total I would not have had such an issue. I felt more like the wallet than the date.

I'm sorry this happened to you Doxie, it appears this woman is a user but you weren't to know that handshake

I say good for you for stepping out and giving dating a shot, and hope this experience doesn't dampen your enthusiasm hug

You need to ask yourself why would a 35 year old be interested in someone who is almost 20 years older. Granted yes, personality, maturity etc. but some just want a sugar daddy.

Yea, you should change towards women closer to your own age.
Simple as. You basically send out the sugar daddy wibe
when you don't wanna date anybody over 40 while being 54.

Now you know more about how it works anno 2023.

You're tempting fate looking for a very attractive 35 year old whose dad walked out on her when she was 6. Try 45 and reasonably attractive.

I actually don't care what people think about me so go ahead blast me. dunno Those who know me know the person I am and if others want to believe someone else instead of getting to know me, it's on them. I do have a suggestion about first dates. First dates are usually a time to get to know each other. Pick somewhere quiet and in a price range that is not on the high end. I myself do not like to go anywhere I cannot afford to pay for my own meal on a first date. When we go to expensive places I stress on what to order and usually wait to see what he orders for a lead. I can afford to buy myself a good meal but I don't want to eat up someone elses wallet. I have found out most people don't like to be told this isn't working and lets not do this again. But I still feel it is the right thing to do, rather than waste someones time. Times here in the states are difficult. It has gotten quite expensive to go out to eat. Maybe look for someone who has things in common with you. Example I am the type I would be happy with kayaking and cheese burgers, maybe a street craft fair and some unhealthy vendor food. blues And I hope no one is spending time with me thinking strike one unless of course we are bowling. First dates are difficult. Very seldom do you find your prince or princess on them. You usually will find if you want a second date. Wishing you a better first date next time wine

Track16: You do say on your profile that "a high value man pays the bills, funds the lifestyle"
Actually to complete the statement, it was

"A high value woman cooks, cleans and has a reasonably low body count. A high value man pays the bills, funds the lifestyle, protects and defends. I do not care about your income. I make really good money but if you think that means we go out and I spend a fortune on you, just keep going and pass me by. I worked hard to have something and I am not blowing on you."

So you want a woman who is young and hot and not a trot to stay in the kitchen and cook and clean for you, you advertise your good money yet you are unwilling to spend any on her.

Basically you want to be like a sugar daddy but you want to keep all of the sugar for yourself.

Lol, funny guy. I also say that I am looking for a high value female, do you know what that is? Obviously not.

Thanks for the input but the only reason I date younger is to avoid the bitterness you find with so many past 40.

It is not uncommon for men to become more desirable with age. I do agree that some want a sugar daddy and I try to weed them out on the front end. And honestly I tend to date a bit younger to avoid the bitterness you find with age.

Women aren't bitter towards men they find attractive.

Men that kiss and tell are despicable. devil

Maybe you were a gentleman to pay for the meal. You saw something you didn't like on the date, so tell her and cut your loss.

THERE WAS NO NEED TO START A BLOG ABOUT IT. frustrated

If you chose to take your date to this restaurant, it’s your own fault now eh?

You can’t take someone to a restaurant and complain about their choice of food or drink because they chose items on the menu that were pricey, surely?

Now, perhaps you would like to buy me a bottle of Krug 1988wine
