I got a simple rule, if I invite a girl out, I pay. When you get a relationship going, sure the girl should pick up a check on occasion but this guy is kind of being a posuer dickhead.
If you think the girl is a gold digger, don't ask her out. You can generally tell what kind of a person someone is within a five minute conversation. If they ooze "floozy" move on to the next. No need to punish them for it, there are plenty of floozy worshipping guys out there to pay their tabs. Some of these girls that may appear to be gold diggers just want to be treated nice once in a while because they don't make much money. Tricking them into $300 they can't afford is just being a jerk.
"I spent over $14,000 on dates last year"
It sounds to me that this guy is an insecure prick who wants to just show off that he makes a little money and wants to point out to a couple girls that they don't. Gee, I wonder why she picked an expensive place? Probably because he spent the whole time leading up to the date talking about how great he is and how much money he makes. Someday some girl is gonna divorce him and take half.

from a girl's perspective i found this friggin HILARIOUS!!! hahahaha not to say that she "deserved" it but a WOMAN should never expect a guy to pay... all i expect is a guy to offer... but i don't feel right making him pay for the whole thing.
and it IS f*cked up that chicks purposely order the most expensive meal there is just bc they think they're gettin a free meal... it's sad but these girls are usually the ones taking the nice guys off the market for the nice girls haha!

wow, and that was posted on a BMW forum? color me shocked :/ Sounds like a master plan to never get laid, if you ask me. Guy was a prick to start with, if he went on that many dates and is still without a SO. I get a kick out of people who are obviously bitter and selfish, but complain about how other people are the problem. Why didn't he tell the girl up front she's paying half? He did tell her to get whatever she wanted, but chose to not inform her of the payment arrangements, letting the server do that for him. What a tool.

I read this funny article that said, "courting is like currency for sex". The money we spend on dinners and all that crap is money spent in the exchange for sex. I think a first date should be a place where a man and a woman can meet up. Forget going out to dinner, go out for drinks at a bar/restaurant or club. This way it costs less and you have a better chance or scoring because she will be drinking (she wont know the difference and taking her out to dinner won't get you laid as fast as buying her a few drinks). Before you leave to go out have a few drinks with some friends or at home to get a little loose before you go out. This way, at the bar, you only need 2 drinks or so to top yourself off. The both of you can take 1-2 shots to solidify the buzz and to get your date a little more loose. Also, you can gauge how far she will let you go with her by how she acts and how friendly she is. If things go well, you can invite her back to your place for another drink and close the deal. If she gets on your nerves or turns out to be lame, ditch her and try to pick up someone else. Either way, you didn't have to waste money on a dinner to figure out if it's worth it.
edit:: Oh, I almost forgot..if the girl isn't friendly with you on the first date and you don't feel it right away, trust me, neither does she. If this is the case, make the first date the last one. A woman will let you know if she is into you as soon as she can, that is their nature. The whole "I like to be friends first" or "I like to take things slow" lines are BS. When a woman says that, you may as well pack up your balls and go home. If you are friends with a woman, you shouldn't be spending money on her.

When I was doing the dating scene I had a lot of expendable cash, so it was all good, and honestly, it was easy to pick-up on those types that thought I owed them something, with those girls I just asked the waiter to separate the checks at the end (not incredibly smooth, but it worked).
What a dickhead, but nevertheless a great story!
