What do you think of this list of "places you should never take a woman on a first date"?

[Anonymous]

I read through it. It's sad. Looks like it was written by a female Incel, with severe narcissism.. It's sad. Cause where I live some of these are the only restaurants available.

Not only would a woman who follows this list rate as a huge red flag of entitlement, she is literally only out for a free expensive meal... A pump and dump at best.

[jennifer_bloom]

My main thing is, I don't care if the meal is only $12 but I don't want to eat food that has grease and chemicals and fat and artificial chemicals and processed additives. A sandwich at a hospital cafeteria is a perfectly good meal for a date but I don't want to eat fatty food on a date cause I want to live a long and healthy life. So a tuna sandwich is a great meal for a date, but a greasy meat loaf is not a good meal for a date.

[Asker]

Nothing wrong with that.

[VanityFair888]

Okay, I don't know some of those places but church? Sport event? 😂 but tbh I dom't see anything wrong with coffee or ice cream dates.

[VanityFair888]

Gym date is a nice idea too

[Asker]

Me either. My first date with my wife was ice cream then a concert.

[Asker]

I just saw that list and was like wtf man.

[VanityFair888]

My first date with my husband was a music concert and I absolutely loved it. Depends on a person I guess

[VanityFair888]

Yea tbh this was my reaction too, also there are so many places listed that it makes you wonder like where tf am I suppose to take her then?

[Asker]

Right! And I live in a small town. We literally only have places that are on that list. We have no independent restaurants in my town, and no way in hell am I driving an hour to go to some place that isn't on that list.

[VanityFair888]

The list also said no long drives so 😂😂😂😂

[Asker]

Right!!

[BCA6010]

I think this was put together by a vapid loser who doesn't get asked out much, or she's completely insufferable to be around. I think your assessment is pretty much spot on.

Some of them are legitimately not good choices for a first date.

[Asker]

No disagreement here.

[TheSpaceGnome]

If she says no to 3. 4. 7. 9. 11. or 21, I'm not dating her.
If she expects me to pay her half of the bill for eating out, I'm not dating her.
If I didn't know her for years beforehand as friends, I'm not dating her.

[AviatorTom]

That's one heck of a list. You left off Strip Club and Adult Theater... or maybe you intentionally did that?

[Asker]

It's definitely not my list.

[Apple1996]

It's a good list. I wouldn't allow a man to take me any of those places besides maybe the movies or bowling

[Apple1996]

Just to add in. My first date with my husband was to the mall and we walked around and talked

[Asker]

After reading your other response I actually agree with you, about the low key part. I would rather do the same. The list was made by someone who insists the man spend a minimum of 500 to 1000 dollars on the first date.

[Apple1996]

Thats crazy lol. It's not about the money it's about getting to know each other. I just like the list cause it's mostly food places and I hate eating on dates

[Asker]

You and me both. I'd prefer something simple and quiet so I can actually talk to her.

[Anonymous]

I saw that list recently and I've decided to always take first dates to one of the places on the list to weed out the shallow, entitled and self-important ones right up front. If they decide they don't want a second date with me, they've done me a big favor.

[loveslongnails]

I don't see what's wrong with a coffee date if it's someplace comfortable and quiet, no obviously not Starbucks. Nothing wrong with going for a drink to a really UPSCALE bar that would be quiet as well.

[LiamJHayden]

This screams, "High Maintenance / food wh*re."

[Asker]

Agreed

[Astarlessnightsky]

First thought 50% if these aren't even in my country.

Second thought, where does she wants to be taken?

[zagor]

These generally aren't places I would choose for a first date anyway, except maybe Starbucks. But add "expensive fancy restaurant" to the list.

[007kingifrit]

this seems like its asking multiple women and they are all bad answers for someone, but the overlap here is from the fact that different women want different things

[AmeerX]

Gym, and sports events are stupid but everything else seems alright for me. Oh yeah long drive is also bit too much

[Fireguy17]

not a bad list, in certain areas it will limit some or many of the available choices.
Not everyone lives in the big city, esp if you are doing a lunch date.

[goldenboybradyjr]

I'd take a woman to the rodeo if she's a cowgirl sort, but not to a dive bar or "greasy spoon" diner.

[exitseven]

didn't we just see this question?

[Asker]

Dunno not from me though.

[Evelyn99]

I like it.

[Asker]

Lol funny. Most women aren't worth more than the places on that list, you included based on attitude.

[Apple1996]

I don't think it's about being worth it. Those places are too much. I'd rather do something more low key like a walk in the park
