"I’ve got a pretty face and a pretty extensive Urban Spoon wishlist. We all know that getting what you want in life can be tough. Which is why I’ve decided to let someone else finance my dreams. My dream? To eat in pretty restaurants without costing me a penny," she writes on her personal blog. "You had me at elk tartare, lost me at chin strap. Follow me to learn who I screw over, bang and love as I navigate Toronto’s diners, drive-ins and dives."

In Washington DC, they call this “Dating for Dinner” sort of like the old “Bowling for Dollars” tv show.

she’s definitely a reason to consider masturbation - ie staying single.

Feh. She ain’t that hot. And if you look at her bikini pic at her blog, her thighs and butt are starting to show all those dinners.

TECHNOSEXUAL:

You’re ALWAYS doing it right, no diseases or risk of her being a feminist, PLUS you were going to a movie anyway, right?

On the other hand, she’s more attractive than any woman a guy on Reddit is actually going to date...

It’s gonna be great fun when she gets burned by one of her “dates”

If it were me I would find the most expensive restaurant I could. Order the most expensive wine, dinner, desert, and maybe buy the table next to me their dinner.

Then, tell her I was going to bathroom. Then leave. Then blog about it.

What goes around comes around.

.


This Women "Dating for Dinner" activity is far more wide-spread than is reported.


I personally knew a highly-educated ($ 85K salary) attractive electrical engineer (Clearwater, FL) who told me that lots of single women do this, using dating as an excuse to dine at Berns, Salt Rock Grill, Capital Grill etc.


I was astounded, since many of these professional women had the money to take themselves out to dinner.


The single life, especially with the "seasoned female grifters" in their 40s and 50s ... is a nightmare for men.


No conscience, fewer morals.

Meet just for a quick couple drinks for the first date.

I used to call this the ‘0.9 beta test.’ The first meeting is to confirm she is who she says she is and there is reason for a ‘date 1.0.’ I did have a small percentage try to turn 0.9 in to an expensive dinner and that was a tipoff.

She is in all ways a whore but one with who cheats on the product. In actuality worse than a whore, as she disrespects males, and probably a lesbian to boot as she says she also dates women.

I see it as an extension of the ‘free drinks’ scam some women learn in college. Pretty girls who get a lunkhead to buy them drinks all night in the faint (and always futile) hope she’ll go home with them.

Of course, to be fair, I know guys who think that taking a woman to the fanciest place in town is a way to “show off the peacock feathers”, so to speak. A good woman will enjoy dining at nice places, but you won’t win her heart with material flash. As you correctly say, it’s all about morals (or lack thereof).

lol

There is a website where women can “hook up” with male travelers who foot the bill. There is a website where men can “bid” on dates with women, yes as in PAY HER. Both of these sites are owned by the same guy too.

There are a lot of disgusting sites like that on the net.

She's moderately pretty on the outside, but as ugly as sin and cold as the grave on the inside.

Just scanning though her ramblings, you immediately get the sense of just how full of herself she is. She is offended when a man holds the door for her, yet feels entitled to screw over any guy she can for a free meal, then brag and laugh about it.

Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. Is it wrong to hope she falls hard, preferably on her face? In a non-literal sense, of course.

I doubt it. Most women don’t seem to have much tolerance for going on a date with a man they don’t like.

This is why the talk radio shock jock, Tom Leykis, always told his listening audience to never, ever spend more than $40 on a date.

The best part?

He told the men in his listening audience to eat a meal alone before you take her out to dinner. Once you are at a restaurant let her order whatever she wants and then you order only a salad.
