33% of women go on dates for free meals. What do you think of foodie calls?

Question

Girls, have you ever done it? Guys, would you go on a date with a foodie call?

This statistic sadly doesn’t surprise me. This bs has been done to me in past and it really pissed me off. It’s one thing if I asked for the date quite another when she asks and then expects everything to paid for. That’s horrible but many women see no problem with that crap.

This is why I never do a dinner on a first date. Maybe a quick coffee date. Maybe drinks if she drinks (which can add up). But never ever a full dinner. It lets me qualify her true interest level.

For all you feminists out there you can do equality a favor and call out women who do this crap. Sure you yourself (hopefully) might split the bill or pay for something else after dinner (coffee or drinks). But when you hear of other girls doing this then you need to speak up about it. But I doubt few of you do.

This really isn’t a money issue but a principle issue. And again it’s one thing if I ask a girl on a date and then pay for it. Completely different story if it’s her idea and I am stuck with the tab.

I would not give even 1 single penny to any feminist (misandrist) bitch. They should pay us. I hate feminism and feminists. Feminism fucked the society completely. There is a war between genders because of stupid feminism.

Wait, people really do that? Haha, I thought that was a joke; I cannot believe some people actually go out with someone just for a free meal: wow. That's bad and kind of pathetic.

No, I've never been out with a guy just for food. Hell, I can barely get guys to take me out as is; I wouldn't do that to anyone! You're basically using them for food and/or their money.

Daniela1982 · Accepted Answer

That is why dates should be a dutch treat - everyone pays for their own meal/entertainment. That way these leeches who take advantage of men would be eating a can of beans at home instead of ordering lobster.

Pinay_ako · Answer

I try to split always but the guys usually insist in paying. I don’t mind paying at all at least for coffee later? Free food is good but I still want to pay for something as a nice gesture. Can’t be a free loader

coachTanthony · Answer

There can only be a foodie call if you have stupid men that keep doing a terrible job at vetting the person they are with.

Avicenna · Answer

A waste of time. That's what I think of them.

AviatorTom · Answer

Do the other 67% pay for the meal... in some way?

Guy13 · Answer

That is silliness from my experience.

Juxtapose · Answer

This is why I take my dates out for coffee from now on. Congratulations, you ripped me off of $4 or whatever for a fucking coffee. I hope the hours you spent setting the date up and then talking to me were worth cheating me out of $4 🤞🤣

Gold diggers don't have shit on me.

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

Those same women call men cheap... but they whore themselves out for food.

Sure... they play it off and just giving the middle finger to men, but come on... we know they sucked some dick. They never want to talk about that part on their TikTok.

EmmaMary · Answer

Personally I could never, ever lower myself to this pathetic lowlife level... It would quite simply be 50/50 or "it's my turn next time"... Period.

I know, realise and appreciate that I have now been out of the dating scene for some ten years... I still find it somewhat hard to believe that this is still actually happening in real time!

Mybeachlife8888 · Answer

This was something I noticed happening a lot. I make good money and was online dating when it became obvious that there were girls that were doing this for fun. Some would even admit it to me, and It wasn’t hard to see the truth in it all.

think about it……

guys like friends with benefits where sex is involved.

girls enjoy dates where they get a night out being wined and dined without commitment.

Trust me when I say I’m the guy who doesn’t mind paying on the first date, but I made it a point to the girls that I would not be paying for the first date just for this reason and they could either respect that or not. It was honestly the best move I ever made because it weeded out the girls who were gold diggers and showed me the girls who were understanding and flexible. The quality of the girls drastically improved and I didn’t mind paying on the first date anyway.

dynamicyandere · Answer

Dang. 33% is high.

If they’re using me to just a free meal, that’s not cool.

If they genuinely are my friends and we actually enjoy each other’s company, and it’s not about what they can get out of me, I’d be happy to treat them to meals and more.

I’ll spoil my genuine friends ten times over before I spoil a gold digger.

I had an ex that once nagged me to buy her things all the time.

I barely spent anything on her.

Then I dated a girl (long term girlfriend) who never asked for anything, and I spent thousands on her.

I’m generous, to the genuine.

misogynistic_pig · Answer

I advocate the independence and isolation of men from women and society in general.

Women only look to men for their resources and that 33% of women date only for the free food, which would be an example of this.

As for the so-called foodies, it refers to a person who enjoys exploring and experimenting with food, and it does not necessarily imply that they are looking for dates just to eat for free.

However, women who call themselves foodies are also looking to use men for free meals.

It is important to note that these are generalizations and do not apply to all women or foodies.

Each individual is unique and has their own motivations and reasons for dating. In general, it is important to be aware of our own expectations and motivations when dating and to be clear with our partners about what we expect from the relationship.

TruthBringer · Answer

And women wonder why so many men step out of the dating game. So many women use good men for free food and the same evening are lying in bed with some asshole who treats them like garbage.

Gentlemen, this is why you don't take a woman on a dinner date. Keep it at a coffee or an ice cream walk in the park. Don't give them an opportunity to use you.

whirled_up_girl · Answer

Sure I've had men ask me out on dates and offer to buy me dinner. I wouldn't go on the date though just for the food. Once I'm in relationship though I believe in paying my own way, so I prefer to pay for my own meals, and provide my own transportation. Or at the very least take turns paying.

Alessa13 · Answer

No way would I ever do that, going on a date with a stranger, risking my safety for a free meal. Totally not worth it, but I'm there is someone that does everything so no doubt some do it.

Now I will try to pay my part but many men say they would be offended if I didn't pay.

loveslongnails · Answer

The sole study floating around on this from "The Society for Personality and Social Psychology" involves 2 rounds of questioning. 820 women were asked in round 1 and 23% said yes. In round two, 327 women were asked and 33% said yes. However, I can't find information on where this study was done, what age group, what level of education, what level of income, etc.

In other words, not much of a sampling but I'd really like to know the age range and economic factors. I think that plays a huge role in the numbers. 25% isn't all that surprising, but 33% would be.

TrueConfection · Answer

Never have, never plan to. I can't imagine even enjoying a meal while pretending to be interested in someone I'm not. I'd rather make a PB sandwhich.

miadee · Answer

1) Men usually use women to spend nice time without promising anything

2) Men usually treat women just an "option"

3) Men usually see dating as an statistical game

There is no problem when women use men back to spend good time, vacation or food.

ElGato31 · Answer

I don't do online dating anymore but when I did, coffee in a park. That's it for first dates. A dinner date when I don't even know someone, scares me, it's too full-on in the beginning.

Guys shouldn't do it. If a woman is interested in you, she will be happy to meet. Not happy to eat.

NostalgiaSenpi · Answer

That was three of the four dates I went on. They all already had boyfriends. Made me upset, but whatever. It is what it is. I think it's disgusting behavior.

lightbulb27 · Answer

It's kinda like using people, which is bad... so depends on the communication and expectations.

But it's ok to an extent. Guys need experience and it's a way to get that for cheap and without committing to that woman. So it goes both ways.

When there is a strong drive in place, that's problematic.

Ms_Facesitter · Answer

I've always been for paying half. I see people using the argument of he is a man, he must provide, he must show me that he can provide. Paying for your meal is the equivalent of buying two meals for himself, one for today and one for the day after.

devilish-cutie · Answer

something is wrong with those women and to answer your qs - no

VikingWarLord · Answer

This is her Litmus test if you're a Beta or Alpha.

If you agree to go on a date with a bytch she's gonna see you as a simp beta provider. If you just straight up tell that bytch you wanna phuck, she may not always be down, but she'll understand that you're not a push-over and most of the time she'll wanna phuck too. I speak from lots of experience.

DeeDeeDeVour · Answer

I wouldn't call the dates I paid for (fully & partially) "free meals" and I'd be insulted if anyone likened me to any woman who go on dates for free meals.

Hanrej · Answer

I thought for sure the number would be higher. I wonder how many answered "no, I'm genuinely interested in the man" simply because they don't want to seem that petty.

RohitLakra · Answer

Unfortunately I became a victim of this thing in January. Now I just date women who pay for their share during first date. It's 21st century, so I thought I should finally treat women equal on first date. No offense, just had a bitter experience because money is hard to earn you know.

bolverk · Answer

Because of these women doing 'foodie call' date men's response is the 'one drink' date, primarily the first date as they feel that a first date should not be a dinner date. The Video below shows how guys are thinking;

Razp_Sorbet · Answer

Never done it. When my boyfriend and I first started dating his mum would get us vouchers for dinner then we would split the rest. Now we either go halves or take turns

bamesjond0069 · Answer

I generally don't pay for women who can pay for themselves or unless they are already having sex with me.

worldscolide · Answer

The moment i find out she is on a date with me for a free meal, i stick her with the bill ( i bail on her) let her have a taste of her own medicine.

Pegases · Answer

These are often the same women complaining that chivalry is dead, and wonder why so many men go straight for sex. It's crazy how many women do this and don't see the connection to where we are today.

shanshu · Answer

There's no guarantee that it will be a free meal and even if it is a free meal, is it really a free meal? I mean I'm not say they pay with sex but women still have to fork out money for a date like what to wear, makeup do their hair and stuff and perfume which runs out and will cost more.

Then you have to think of the cost of travel if he's not picking you up at your place.

Or if he says "we should go Dutch" or "I forgot my wallet."

RandomGuy1030 · Answer

100% of women go on dates for free food. Hello. If someone invites me out and I have to pay, I'm not going.

annabananna · Answer

I can’t sit through a dinner with someone I didn’t like just for free food. I’d have to be literally going hungry to do that. These women are either extremely cheap or destitute.

Adam1978 · Answer

This is why the first date shouldn't cost money. They shouldn't get any other reward than your company. And if that isn't enough, she doesn't want you, she just wants the treatment.

Minahh · Answer

Nope never I can buy my own meal lmao, however if a guy offers to pay it's a green flag

Anonymous · Answer

Guys wanna get laid: which is far more evil that a free meal. It’s funny when guys get offended. Like shit. They want sex and we’re supposed to want to too? 😝
Can I have a cookie sir for some nookie, please?
They treat us so poor and expect us to cave.

Anonymous · Answer

I haven’t and wouldn’t because the free meal isn’t worth the shitshow lf first dates. I think it’s fine though considering probably 80% of men go on first dates for sex 🤷🏼‍♀️

Anonymous · Answer

Depends where she wants to go... I never take a new chick to an expensive place but if a broke girl wants to get a burger or something I'm down. If we jam maybe something happens if not I certainly am not hurt.

Littlejugs99 · Answer

If im single and a guy asks me to dinner why not. I'm giving him a shot to whoo me. It's like when you take a car for a test drive just to see what it is like but decide not to buy it.

connemara_crocodile · Answer

I've been on dates that turned out to be foodie calls. Doesn't take long to realise, I just go cold, and finish the date as soon as I can

douride2 · Answer

I have never gone on a date just for the free meal. Usually I pay my own way. Always have always will.

Date_a_Snob · Answer

I've offered to pay on a date and he's has refused. I don't like the guy to pay because I feel like he's expecting sexual favor in return

Leopard23 · Answer

Plenty of women with boyfriend's or husbands go out to get a free meal and if they like him who knows.

Mangospacho · Answer

Every guy knows this or should know this. If you waste one date on a free meal, it’s not the end of the world. I would give it a shot because sometimes the dates you don’t expect to go anywhere turn into long term relationships.

baseball_del_tuono · Answer

Is a free meal this important? Like you’re gonna get all dressed up hair make up the whole thing sit through dinner for a few hours talking to guy you’ve no interest in all for a free meal? What’s in the food that makes that worth it?

Foodie Calls are another reason to not date women. MGTOW monk for 22 years.

SolitarySolace · Answer

And women don't consider themselves privileged for being women 😂 instead they cry about not being equal to men. Yet they get special privileges all the time that men don't.

Anonymous · Answer

Exploitation of men by women are very common , either in form of meals , or help in house , studies. Men do have an intention , right , whether it's just sex or relationship but that's ambiguous. As a guy you don't know her intention but women are always clear about which men to use for free and which are to give everything for free.

I dated a girl that was a lush. She drank White Russians and they were expensive. It was a long time ago but I remember seeing a bar tab one night and almost pee my pants.

i've bought girls free drinks before and i'd assume some were just using me and it didn't really bother me much to be honest , but most were pretty good looking too so at least i got to spend some time with them at the bar

Freyke · Answer

I am not angry at the women. Just disappointed in my brothers. If that perfentage is true it's because there are men out there who fall for it and let these cheap women take their money.

LazerBean · Answer

I've never done it. I see no problem with it though considering a much higher percentage of me men go on dates for cheap sex.

Nervzgrl · Answer

I’ve totally done this before. I get teasy/flirty, get asked out, eat, and then at least give the guy a goodnight kiss and take my leftovers with me.

Kiran_Yagami · Answer

It's just another reason to either go dutch on dates or do coffee dates or walks in the park. Obviously, you cannot trust a woman you don't know. She could just be after a free meal, and my time and money are worth more than that.
