I used to go out to NYC restaurants frequently and I don’t think I’ve ever spent $100 per person, including drinks. There are some very expensive restaurants out there but unless you’re deliberately looking for them, even relatively nice places will have food for $20 to $40 and cocktails for $10 to $15.
(I don’t go to the sort of restaurants where you have to dress formally, but then again neither does almost anyone going on a date, unless they’re either rich or a celebrity.)
My favorite Thai restaurant has nothing on the menu over $40. Or how about this nice vegan place with nothing over $25? And nothing over $30 at my favorite place in Brighton Beach. I could make a long list - I used to go out to eat two or three times a week. But really, if you walk into pretty much any restaurant where men aren’t wearing suits, those are the prices you’ll see.
add drinks, app an appetizer, add desset, add tax, serivice fees, and tip. Where I live taxes, fees, and tips add 30-35% on top of every meal cost. So a $100 bill becomes $135. 20% tip, 8% meal tax and 5-8% ‘service fee’
all these places will run you $150-200. that is what a proper date is. it’s three course meal with alcohol
It’s not two meals for $50. You are really out of touch.
Who are these women who can eat three course restaurant meals and don’t weigh 300lbs? If I ate that much on a date, you’d better not expect me to get undressed after that. Lol this whole thread is insane.
have you ever gone to a nice restaurant? like fancy hotel or michelin star place?
the more money you pay, the less food you get. when you go to a $1000 tasting menu place w/ 10 courses, each course is like 20-40 calories, it’s like two bites per course. you are not paying for the food, you are paying for the presentation and the exclusivity.
you are thinking of cheap places and poor people. the women in my dating pool are all eating avocado toast and doing yoga/pilates and either rail thin, or they go to the gym and they are very fit and well muscled. they aren’t packing way pizzas and hamburgers, they are eating all organic diets and a lot of them are vegetarian or vegan. their biggest caloric indulgence is their starbucks skinny vanilla latte.

I cannot imagine being that rich and going to Starbucks. The drip coffee I have at home is better.
