DoxieDad2: Of coarse I can, A nice restaurant does not mean you order and waste $200 worth of food that someone else is paying for. If you do not see the issue then so be it but yes, in this instance I have every right to complain.
I agree, people are hungry and she wasting food cause she didn't pay for it cause if she had I bet she would have ate it
Tulefell: Curious to read the menu from that restaurant. Would you kindly provide the link to their web place?
Feel free to look it up, Perry's Steakhouse and Grill in Birmingham. Great place to eat, I expected $200 plus tip for both our meals and drinks combined. Not $200 for food she would waste.
dates cost money and most often its the man who pays. If we go on a date and you waste my money then of coarse it just became about money. Only the one who is not paying has the luxury of separating the money from the date.
DoxieDad2: 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.
DoxieDad2: Thanks for the input but the only reason I date younger is to avoid the bitterness you find with so many past 40.
Is that you hoping only your bitterness would have to be handled in the relationship? In all honesty, what do you think you bring to the table to make a woman much younger than you choose you over a man closer to her age?

Well you are kind of asking for that by dating a much younger lady. It is your resources, or at best, your experience which suggests you can acquire resources that you are offering by dating someone that much younger. If you were to rein yourself in to 45 you might be able to go dutch, be more of an equals peoples.
I paid the bill because I asked her out. I ended the date because she obviously had no respect for myself or my money otherwise she would not have wasted $200 worth of food. Had she at least eaten the food she ordered I would have continued the date and just never asked her out again.

I date younger all the time without issue. I bring a lot to the table including resources, stability and so on. Younger ladies often prefer older men, not all but often. Your first question is nonsensical so I am not answering.
A high value woman is attractive, feminine, ethical and has a low body count. Willing and able to keep a proper home and is supportive. It is not complicated and easy to understand. And I am more than willing to provide for, protect and support such a woman.
It is truly funny to me how but hurt some here have gotten. If women have high standards then other women see that as great. But if a man has high standards then lookout. Because the nastiness and but hurt BS is coming hard and fast.
DoxieDad2: 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.
It's partially your fault that she ordered expensive food and drink. You don't know much about her except that she's 35 and attractive. Why would you take someone you barely know to a high-end restaurant?
When I met men for a first meeting I went to a diner mostly with the thought in mind to just have coffee but if he made a good first impression I might ask if he was hungry and if he is I made it clear that I would pay my way and they always agreed except for an Italian gentleman.
She had no intention of developing a relationship with you. Don't worry about it, you're not the first one she used for a good steak and top of the line wine. Let this be a lesson. Next time you want to meet an attractive woman suggest to meet at McDonald's or any inexpensive fast food restaurant. If she balks about it then right her off.

I don't understand what is there that costs so much - everything is hard fried plus a lot of bread, but perhaps it's ok in USA.
As to wasted food, I agree: it's not good to throw away something you regard as edible. Why didn't you take the food with you?
DoxieDad2: Oh this is Priceless. Pay close attention gents.
The men on CS are not dateable. Some are married. Some are misogynist. Most are emotionally disturb. Some are here because they have nothing else to do. Let's not forget mental illness.
And you pretending you are financially secure, but you start a thread because the date ordered a meal you think was too expensive. NOW BE GONE.
