These women who do this know they can get away with it, because most of the guys they meet are going to have some level desparation that will make them weak enough to fall for this type of trick (not me, I was just naive, but not anymore).
There are plenty women like this that exist and it is not just limited to dinners... Many (but not all of course) women will go on many dates with anyone and everyone just to get freebies.

What SmartGXL said is very true and not cynical at all.

Mamama Mia is your daughter still single? Send her pic my way.

I am sorry to hear that there are women who are out for freebies. It's sad, really.
My 25 year old is an amazing, beautiful (of course!) single woman. She lives just off of Southport and she and her roommates frequent Schuba's and other neighborhood hangouts. She would kill me if I ever tried to "set her up."

Show some musical sophistication... piano, jazz or blues bar and sip on a dirty martini.

Or a My Bloody Valentine show.

Hey I live in Lake View and I am in the area around Schuba's often. If she is as pretty as you say I am sure I have set eyes on her before.

I can only dream!

Haha, I saw MBV when they rolled through. If you can imagine sticking your head inside the jet engine of a NASA space shuttle at takeoff for 90 sustained minutes, you begin to understand what their live experience is like. Theres a reason they hand out free earplugs. Once I find a girl whos down with that kind of thing, I think I'm set for life

Steve, maybe it's generational or maybe I'm just cynical, but a carriage ride would be a HUGE turn off to me.

How'd it go G? How'd it go??? So curious!
