No, I'm not "asexual". I am a heterosexual man. I like women. I've had my share of crushes. There are women I've liked. Almost none of them have liked me back. I haven't turned away relationships. However, the older I get, the more I see there were things I never knew. Because I was always single, there were things I never got into. I learned from hearing about other people's experiences and thought about how I could avoid those situations. I thought about the standards I would set. The older I got, the more I understood how much I could lose. I set my standards very high.
When I said I wasn't thirsty, I was spefically talking about that Instagram stuff. My point is that there are some things not worth the risk or the waste. If I have a wife, of course I will pay for her dinner. However, if I'm ever going to get married, I want to make sure that woman won't use me as a meal ticket. I don't want to be anyone's meal ticket.
Every relationship I've had with a woman, has been with someone I got to know from common interests or activities. We had become well-acquainted with each other, before any romance entered into it. And when that interest developed, there was no difficulty or awkwardness about engaging each other, because we were both aware of it and just naturally started doing things and going places together. That's probably the way men and women got together in ancient times, before the artificial construct of dating was invented.
Women Are Such Connivers Taking Advantage Of Men: Women Admit To Dating For Free Meals
So, all women do this?
The article of the sensational click bait headline claims “ the study” posed the question to a whopping 357 women. Of them, 118 said they might date for a meal. Another study posed a similar question to 820 women and 160 of them claim dating for a meal.
118 - 160 women out of a population of 118 million adult women is not statistically significant.
People believe anything when it seems to validate their perceptions.

We all have to be careful not to clump all women in the same category; and, conversely the same should hold true for men as well. May we all find true love w/an adoring soulmate, but, again, let's be wary of over generalization here.
Feel badly for young straight guys in today's dating world. If you didn't pick up the tab for one of these gold-digger-in-training types, you would be accused of sexual "malpractice" about 30 years later..........
160 women out of an adult population of 118 million is statistically insignificant.
Today’s dating world? Likely the number of women who did this was much higher 50+ years ago, when women typically made less than man for the same job.
No mention of the value of the meal. We might be talking about an $8 hamburger. Gold digger?
Wonder what percentage of men would own up to expecting to be rewarded after treating a woman to a meal?
Not all women do not do this. In fact most probably don't but some certainly do. I have more problems with women that latch on to a man purely for financial reason that don't really feel the way they say then take advantage of him. A few meals here and there is nothing compared to this which I have seen lead men to financial hardship, and ruin before they realized what was happening. Yes, love can be blind and DUMB.
