Dating has gotten so expensive that nearly half of U.S. singles say it’s no longer worth it, as the average night out approaches $200 (fortune.com)

There are so many things you can do with a partner that don’t cost money and will make permanent memories.

Cucking. Gloryhole. Orgy. Swinging.

Yeah but on the first dates you gotta try to impress a little right, don’t want to come off as too poor or cheap (depending on circumstances, 2 students in exact same situation is different than older working adults, for example)

This feels like a capitalistic idea to convince people thay they need to spend money to find a partner or people to be with. Dating can have many forms and you can get to know people in many different places. You don't have to spend a lot of money to talk to people in hobby groups or go take a walk/drink a coffee with someone

If the girl is impressed by how much you can spend on food is it really worth impressing her at all?
