You aren't getting my point. Gold digging is gold digging, period. It's about intentions.

I would feel the same about a headline "Study find some men just date women for sex."

In other news, water is wet.
Yeah how do people feel about this? Is this another classic example of men can do what they want but when a woman tries the same, we yell at her and call her names?

There's something known as the thirst. It is why men send money to Instagram and Twitch girls who look hot. There is no rationale, they will never meet them or touch them. At least with the dinner date, there is real contact even if it is just sitting down having a meal and talking.

The internet is used by women luring lonely men to send them money and gifts, so how is getting one meal any worse.... it's all bad because it is dishonest, but there will always be users. How is a man really to know if a real girl accepting a date is a user. How is a woman to know a man isn't just out for sex and lying to her... It's a tough world but we've been weathering this dance as long as men and women have dated. Almost all of us get hurt and disappointed at some point if we put ourselves out there.

So it's a dumb study, because, duh people can be jerks.

You have your opinion, I have mine. I'm not going to get all worked up and call people names over a chicken dinner.

Well, I'm not thirsty. I don't send money to anyone on Instagram. I might send my favorite Youtuber a "superchat" if I like the content that said youtuber is producing. However, as for that thirst, a woman could be "hot" or "stunning" and I won't send money. Half the time I'm wondering if said woman got implants or what kind of woman she is. I know I will never meet her. I know I can never get anything from her. I know she can get as much male attention as she wants. For that reason, I don't waste my time or my money. Not worth it.

The internet has revealed so much evil in the world. The internet might expose you to alot of people. You never know what you're getting though.

Well, this is how I see it. Being a gold digger is the wrong way to be. It's not about the chicken dinner. It is about intentions. If the only reason a woman is dating you is for a free me, she likely has a gold digger's mentality and is only interested in using people. It is disturbing to me because I don't want to be used.

Because he offered hoping to get a date out of it, or at least getting to know me better. Since he did not appeal to me, to take him up on the offer would have been using him. IMO, of course.
