I think you are excluding a lot more connections with women of all sorts of backgrounds, maturity levels, and financial statuses, than you are "protecting yourself" from freeloaders.
Again as I said, I figure if a guy is too jaded or goes on so many dates he has to worry about how he will hedge his costs he's not the right person for me.
Some men still believe in tradition, being a provider. But more and more men, it seems, don't want to step up--they almost expect that the woman should be paying for the date.
If it makes me a Neanderthal, so be it. If it means I'm living in the past, too bad.
Is that really the impression you want to make when you are meeting a beautiful woman for the first time? Someone whom may potentially be your future wife?
again, the implication is that she is beautiful, attractive whatever... when dating offline for the first time this may not turn out to be true. If the guy likes her then yes he should spend money to impress her, I do not disagree at all. If he doesn't like her then why should he spend, makes no sense.
For example, when I invite guests over for dinner, I am seeking the pleasure of their company and I sincerely enjoy the experience of entertaining them and sharing what I have to offer.
I would not throw aprons on them, insist they help me in the kitchen, and accuse them of using me for a free meal because they accepted my invitation.
Inviting a women on a date and then accusing her of using you for a free dinner is sort of the same thing. I just don't get men at all.

This thread is not about that...it's about inviting her for drinks and then her extending the scope of that invitation into a dinner without the host's consent

Then why can't the GUY say no? He probably doesn't find her attractive anyhow so why can't he just say, NO to further spending and leave?
Say no! You don't like her enough to buy her dinner so okay, be a man and speak up and say "I don't want to buy dinner or let's go dutch this first time or something!!'
Don't be a victim. And don't call the woman a b*tch or a mooch.
What do you care if she's offended? You'll never see her again.

So if she had kept it to drinks that entire time, you wouldn't have had a problem with it?

Drinks can be more expensive than dinner--at $3 or $4 a pop.
