I was just thinking about how men on dating apps who agree to go out with me (usually below average looking/not well established anyway) suggest coffee, walks in the park, or super casual restaurants where the bill wouldn’t come out to more than 40 bucks. And still they ask to split the check 
Then my pretty friend gets messaged by handsome, tall men online who go out of their way to plan expensive and extravagant dates for her at rooftop restaurants where bills easily reach 400+ dollars. No guy has ever made her split a check before. She even had a few guys take her on shopping sprees on first dates or buy her designer items.
She always makes it seem like it’s no big deal. I ask how she doesn’t get so thrilled when she’s taken to all these extravagant places for seemingly just being pretty.
She said it’s cause the types of guys who do such things are only doing it with the goal of eventually sleeping with her, so it takes the “wow” element away. She tried to suggest maybe I’m lucky that men don’t see me as an object. I told her that men I go out with probably think they could sleep with me 95% of the time, but they assume they can do it without even spending a penny.
Whose position would you rather be in? Personally, I’d rather be spoiled even by inauthentic men than probably also treated as an object without even having a meal paid for. But I guess I at least know that any man willing to go above and beyond for me in the future (if ever) isn’t just trying to get in my pants?
