Toxic Masculinity: Booty Calls
Empowered Femininity: Foodie Calls
"Foodie calls" is a new term describing a woman going on a date, where she's not interested in the guy, and a "study" says that one quarter to one third of women admit to doing it.
The results are in: she only wanted to try that hot new restaurant. A new study published Friday in the Society for Personality and Social Psychology journal found that a quarter to a third of heterosexual women have gone on a date with a guy they weren't interested in -- just for a free meal. "Foodie calls," can happen when money's tight, the grocery store is out of a favorite frozen meal, or a must-try entree is just too extravagant to justify -- when the tab comes out of your own bank account. Two studies, the first conducted with 820 women, and the second with 327, asked participants if they ever engaged in a plate for play: 23% of the women copped to it in the first study, 33% in the second. The researchers -- Brian Collisson, Jennifer Howell, and Trista Harig of Azusa Pacific University and UC Merced -- also noted that the woman who felt dating for food was socially acceptable were more likely to exhibit the "dark tria"” of personality traits. That's "psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and narcissism" for those without a PhD in psych.So, if I were setting up a dating service, I would set it up so that people would list activities they were interested in doing, and the other person would say which of those they'd like to do. Dinner would never be an option, because dinner forces you to talk only about yourself or ask dumb questions. but an activity gives you a safe and maybe interesting external topic to talk about. It's the hardest sort of date so why do it as the first one? There'd be a list of tickets for activities would mostly be stuff like museums, hiking (with a group), maybe a first rock-climbing class, a wine-tasting, ice-skating for an hour and a half, a walking tour of the city, etc. Stuff where you can talk about something interesting going on around you that isn't just "How many brothers do you have?" and "What do you do at your job?" I think people used to do more of that sort of gayballz activity in olden times, when "courting," and it worked better. And I'd additionally monetize it buy getting discount tickets to that sort of event and selling them through the site for a 10% profit or whatnot. Like a Love Groupon. Also, both parties would have to buy their own ticket. Site rule. To make sure that everything is very casual. I think people do better on dates when they don't have the heightened drama of the date needing to pay off for the guy (if he's shelling out money) or the woman feeling she has to pretend to be interested to justify the free meal. And then I'd be just swimming in cash. Low-stakes dating with 60% fewer awkward silences -- that's the Ace of Spades Matchmaker Service guarantee! These are my thoughts on this very important subject which I know you were just dying to hear my ideas about.

I actually just heard about this IRL. A friend told me he was talking to a 26 year old woman who admitted she only goes on dates to get free meals. And get this - her father is extremely well off and can fund his spawn's gustatorial adventures, but no, she has to mooch off some tinder shlub.

We met online. She moved into her new apartment that evening. She dropped me heavy hints that I should come and help her move in, but I refused because I'd never met her before.
I ended up waiting at the Barnes and Noble for 4 hours until she finally showed up with wet hair from a shower.

Modern women are treacherous and evil.
The reason for our current crop of Betas and soy-boys is that they take one look at the neck-tattooed, face-pierced and entitled state of femininity today and run away screaming.
I encourage young men to go to a tiny third world country find a nice girl, have her inoculated and after your "non-legal marriage" marriage, split your year between her mud hut and your apartment.

One of the young women our son took out, he knew on campus. Beautiful "Christian" Indian (dotted) girl. He took her to a somewhat pricey Italian restaurant some friends of ours co-own (no, he didn't get a discount), and she informed him she not only had a boyfriend, but she has an arranged marriage in her future. He's an Indian doctor in NYC and is paying her tuition.
Son had no clue. He'd even attended her church with her a couple of times.

But also, how does this square with modern feminist dating? I'm always told that the man shouldn't necessarily be expected to pay for the date, because women are equal and paying for them is demeaning. This would backfire badly if "free meal" was the game.

Activity dates are definitely better, but they're still bad. Ace's idea is solid, though - one of the hard things about the activity date is that one side usually has to suggest the activity. "Wanna go bowling?" "Ew, who bowls?"

As for dates, hubby took me shooting M-16's in the Kuwaiti desert after Gulf War I. He brought the guns, ammo and humvee, while I made a huge picnic of fried chicken, potato salad, biscuits and chocolate chip cookies. And beer. Apparently he decided to marry me shortly after that. We both did pretty okay.

Expecting consistency from feminists? The universe laughs at you.
There was this article a couple of years ago in some well-known publication where a feminist was all like, I'm so awesome and independent and powerful and I need a man who will appreciate me, but even though I make good money, my date should pay for my meal because wage Gap. She was roundly mocked in the comment section.

In grad school it was common (in the Bay Area) to be treated to a thorough feminist ear-banging throughout dinner, for which you then had to pay.
I used to joke that only two words would shut up a feminist: "Check, please!" Blessed silence would ensue until you'd paid the tab. Then back to the ear-banging.

Oooh, Feminist Tinder is TIGHT!
Posted by: Movie Executive Guy at June 24, 2019 04:29 PM (PbpT7)
Advantages of Bumble:
1. Female must signal interest first, so if she's interested, YOU KNOW she's interested.
2. Leftist women tend to signal themselves early, making left swiping easy.
Drawbacks of it:
1. Chock full of leftist women, relative to other services
2. Very brief description section, length of a Twitter tweet if not shorter, so must be terse.
Posted by: Curmudgeon at June 24, 2019 04:32 PM (ujg0T)
Sounds like you're just going to set up a rerun of that old dating show from TV where they sent the couples out on these very busy "activity" dates ... I can't remember the name of it - Love Connection or Blind Date or something. I think it was Blind Date. Actually, it was a fun show in the beginning but then it devolved into all the dates being the exact same bullshit.

Yup. This is where the absurdity of the "pink tax" came from. "I'm empowered and independent and so now men don't always pay on the date because we spent a couple of decades telling them not to. Being taken out is really nice, though, and I enjoy it, and I want it to keep happening. So I need to square the circle and figure out how to make being taken out a sign of feminist-empowerment."
The "pink tax" serves many masters, depending on situation. It is used to give the feminist empowered woman all kinds of special treatment, from dinners out to free medical care to subsidies to whatever else they think up.

The reason for our current crop of Betas and soy-boys is that they take one look at the neck-tattooed, face-pierced and entitled state of femininity today and run away screaming.
I encourage young men to go to a tiny third world country find a nice girl, have her inoculated and after your "non-legal marriage" marriage, split your year between her mud hut and your apartment.

Agreed on first dates being better as activities. Unfortunately, a lot of activities are expensive these days. Even going to the zoo (as someone mentioned above) is $25 apiece now. I think putt-putt is still affordable - looks like $7 each for one game.

Again in grad school, when dating another grad student, I once (after a good feminist ear-banging, which had led to conclude that this was our first and last date) asked her if she thought it was fair that I pick up the tab, when we're both making exactly the same pay. I was then treated to a feminist rant about how women had been exploited for generations, and so now they were entitled, etc.
I pointed out that she hadn't experienced any such exploitation, and hence was not entitled to anything.
As I said, I'd already determined that this was going to be our first and last date, but I was curious as to how she's rationalize sitting on her hands when the check came.
But I didn't really mind this. My reasoning was that bad news early is good news. It's like seeing Miss Sweetness and Light turn savage on a waiter or waitress, then turn back to Miss Sweetness and Light. I viewed that as a preview of coming attractions if I stuck around, which I didn't.

nah. We are talking about completely random dates here, not asking out a girl you've already met and know you might be interested in.
online dating is different from real dating or fix-ups through friends.
I know people who date online, and there are 20 misses for ever one maybe-hit. that's a lot of cash to shell out.
A friend of mine goes on one or two of these completely random matchmaking site dates a week. It's expensive.
And look, 90% of the time the guy knows if he's interested or not in one to five minutes, and the woman knows in one to twenty seconds.
Subsequent dates, sure, guy pays. but these almost-always-miss random online dates? Nah, brah.

Women are supposed to know if they're going to fuck a guy within 20
seconds of meeting them. Which makes spending any money on her dumb.
Either she wants to fuck you, and will do it, regardless how much you
spend. Or she doesn't want to fuck you and all the money in the world
won't change her mind.
The whole notion of spending money on dates, always struck me as
weird. Even in high school, my attitude was fuck this shit, I'm not
spending money to get laid. In college, I'd buy **A** drink, maybe.

No, I don't want to do a brewery fun run followed by drinking. No, I don't want to go for a five mile hike, or rock climbing. Movies and bars are too loud. Salsa dancing is usually too loud, and often too crowded for my liking.
Meanwhile, my interests are somewhat esoteric, and personal. Taking a girl tango dancing doesn't work until she knows how to dance, which usually means a couple of lessons. Fencing class? Nah.

The worst one was a trip to a grocery store to buy fixins for dinner. When I paid for the groceries, the gal scooped up my change (which was considerable, the better part of $20, quite a bit of money back then), and pocketed it. I didn't say anything, waiting to see what she'd do. Throughout dinner she could only talk about how broke she was.

She was a pretty decent looking lady. Italian. But the cult thing threw me, and she was really insistent about it.
Finally, just to shut her up, I said "Fine, I'll go to a meeting of your cult."
I went to the meeting, and declined to join the cult. I had to decline like fifty people pressing me to join before I could hurry away while none were looking.
But it was downhill from there. It was pretty much "join the cult, or this won't work." So, no more dating her.

Good advice. Golden retriever puppies are chick magnets. Hell, they're people magnets. Anyone who doesn't like golden retriever puppies is a hard pass, IMO, and probably a serial killer.

- You get what you pay for. If the site is free, expect low quality selections.
- If all her profile pictures are facial closeups from odd angles, she's at least fat and probably morbidly obese.
- Avoid women with these self-descriptive terms: "foodie, artsy, love to travel, open-minded"; they are who the post is warning about. They want you to pay. For everything. Sometimes they want you to pay for everything and you not be there for it.
- Pay attention to what's in the background of photos, you can eliminate slobs, or at least the ones too dumb to realize they're slobs and that they shouldn't post pics to a dating site of their disgusting house.
All of these things I have learned from personal experience.

Several years ago, I was visiting Boy BFF and his then girlfriend (now wife) and we went to a winery to do the tour the vineyards and then totally be up scale and expand our palates not get sloshed on free wine samples, nope, nope.
There were a bunch of people there, mainly mid 30's and up and it was fun. There was also a couple there who were obviously only a first or second date. Bless their hearts, I hope they didn't notice how keenly everyone was watching them. Consensus was that the guy was a good guy (held open doors for everyone, was nice to the staff, very conspicuously looking only at the date and not other women, etc.) and that the girl should give him a chance.
I always thought that was a good date idea. Outside and low key and other stuff to talk about and FREE BOOZE. If it goes well, hey, you want to stop for dinner on the way back?

you're thinking of Real Life Dating where you've already seen the person several times and have interacted lightly with them or might even know them.
That is not internet dating, which is a numbers game, because most of the time, the picture does not look like the person and the person might be a psychopath or just so completely wrong for you it's pointless to go much further than "Nice to meet you."
But very few people are going to leave at that point, so that forces all this waste of time and money.

As it must be. The more a woman makes/the more high-powered her job, the smaller the pool of acceptable men. Women generally want to marry up. If she's already high, there is much less "up" available. I imagine the dating pool narrows considerably, and it will keep doing so as women continue to outperform men in education and increasingly in earnings.

A snarling pit bull says one thing, but a golden retriever, especially a puppy, says quite another.
I got married relatively late in life, and my wife said, "As soon as I saw you with the puppy, I KNEW you'd be fine with kids." Because to zeroth order, a puppy is like a kid in so many ways.

What happened to the three date rule? Am I getting that old.
Posted by: WisRich at June 24, 2019 04:53 PM (G0vdT)
I had something like this happen early in my dating career.
A very pretty girl in some of my high school classes kept "running into" me.
So, you know I thought she was interested.
I think we went out on like 3-4 dates each ending in a rather chaste kiss at the door.
The next date I tried to take things a little, and I do mean a little, further and she said,
"Oh, i can't. I have a boyfriend in college and that wouldn't be right for him. But, I really like you and like going out with you. But, I have a boyfriend.'
So, I was a little bit shocked by this insight into girl behavior and said,
"Oh....well....I guess I'm not interested. Good night."
Couldn't quite leave it at that and said as I turned to go, "Let me know if you break up." And so spoiled an almost perfect exit.
Anyway, I got better at screening girls. so, I'm glad I had that experience early.

Not personally (I avoided office relationships), but in one of my old firm's branch offices, the eternal story played out:
1) Boy worker meets girl worker
2) They fall in love
3) Boy worker gets tired of girl worker
4) Boy worker breaks up with girl worker
5) Girl worker sues boy worker, the firm, and files sexual harassment complaints with the appropriate state agencies
It was expensive to defend, and it pissed us off - we thought that we were basically innocent bystanders in a relationship gone bad. (Neither of the two people involved supervised the other.)

That's when the guy stands up, drops enough cash on the table to cover his order, and leaves.
As for Ace's idea, I think it's a good one. An interesting twist would be that each person signs up individually, then is matched with another person who's signed up for that event. The twist would be that they pay for the event only when they've agreed to be matched with the other person: no match, no charge (apart from the usual sign-up fees).

Couldn't quite leave it at that and said as I turned to go, "Let me know if you break up." And so spoiled an almost perfect exit.

What happened to the three date rule? Am I getting that old.
Posted by: WisRich at June 24, 2019 04:53 PM (G0vdT)
No idea about the current timeline, but the 3 date rule is just negotiating timeline.
Girls know if you're a 1 or 0 pretty quick. Even if you're a 1 it doesn't always mean they're DTF on the first or second date.
There's a lot of anti-slut defenses a girl puts up to avoid seeming 'easy', or there were. So you have to work to either compressed perceived time (by bar hopping or otherwise traveling together) or use other dark magic. Or drugs. Drugs work, but I don't like them.

This is actually an area of particular interest to me. Yeah, pretty girl, but check out the posters on her wall? That's a European outlet. The textbooks in the back are in Russian. Americans don't use those hanging mesh storage thingies, we have room in our buildings. Man, that bathroom needs cleaning.
I think they simply run out of ideas on what to write about. How many ways can you say the same 10 things.
That, too. So you get contradictory lists like "10 ways a man with a beard is a terrible lover" and "10 ways a man with a bear is the best lover" in sequential issues.
Other than fashions and celebrity news its all the same thing over and over, and how many times can you say the same thing? I think that's part of what drives Teen Vogue other than a deliberate Satanic attempt to corrupt girls.

I told my sons that. If she likes you, you'd have to work hard at it to screw things up. You could swing a chandelier flinging poo and she'd just think it was charmingly iconoclastic (kidding here, obviously).
Conversely, if she doesn't like you, there's nothing you can possibly do that will change that. No amount of wining, dining, serenading, moving her shit, doing other favors, etc. will make the slightest difference. So just accept that, cut your losses, and move on right away.
Another principle: accept the fact that as a man, you're probably repellent to 99% of the opposite sex. You just have to find one of the 1% who finds you charming.

When I went to college, the college was 60% male/40% female.
Now, the college is 40% female/60% male. That completely changes the social dynamics of the place, and helps explain the level of female rage that manifests itself in questionable sexual assault complaints.
And quite a few colleges are quietly practicing affirmative action for men - the belief is that most women don't want to go to a school that is less than 40% male.

they're already getting set up with other prep school guys in high school. it's kind of sickening.

very best line I ever used.
was getting very romantic with some young lady in the library. leaned into her and asked "so, you want to screw?" then when the wave of shock was over a second or two later I opened my hand to offer her a 5 inch wood screw.
we were back at her place in less than 20 mins.

My Daughter was saying that when she went to a ritzy college, she expected to meet an Ivy league rich guy to marry. Instead she married a college drop out.... Nicest man you will ever meet....She brought this up to him when they were talking about their daughter , my Grand Daughter... Said to him "see, you can't count on that, I got you." It was a joke and they laughed... Luckily Grand Daughter is a beauty, brain and Conservative

Had been dating Pooky for 2-3 years when he took me to an airsoft gun-battle with his cousin and his friends. So there I am, hiding in the bush, trying to figure out a strategy, when Pooky SHOOTS ME IN THE FACE from 15-20 feet away. (He later said he could tell it was me by the squeak of pain.) I wasn't super happy with him, but he reminded me that all's fair in love and war. Plus, he went on to get a perfect Marskman score and ribbon in the USAF, so I guess I was target practice?

Hannity radio is bad, he has 3 hours.
But there is one way to watch Hannity TV show.
DVR it.
Then fast forward every time he is alone on the screen. The sound goes away, and the background keeps changing the graphic or picture every few seconds, and you the viewer knows the general topic at hand.
Once in a while, a live person appears, so stop the fast forward and listen to the interview, usually somebody with something to say, and continue until Hannity cuts them off mid-sentence one too many times.
Then hit fast forward again. It takes me about 10 to 20 minutes to watch a complete Hannity show.
Try it, it works!

I told my sons that. If she likes you, you'd have to work hard at it to screw things up. You could swing a chandelier flinging poo and she'd just think it was charmingly iconoclastic (kidding here, obviously).
Conversely, if she doesn't like you, there's nothing you can possibly do that will change that. No amount of wining, dining, serenading, moving her shit, doing other favors, etc. will make the slightest difference. So just accept that, cut your losses, and move on right away.
This is about right.
Like the fried chicken dinner up thread.
If a girl is interested, really interested, they make sure you know that they're not just bringing a pretty face and/or body to the party,
they're the whole deal.
It's how the delightful and beautiful Mrs naturalfake won me over.
She just kept getting better and better.
At some point, you just surrender to the inevitability of SHE.

On the flip side, men who are a "no" don't even register as people of the opposite sex except in the technical sense. So it's not that they don't exist, it's that when she thinks of dating... they don't exist.
One of the unintentionally funniest things I've ever read is an article by a feminist that said "when I reached a certain age, men started to look through me like I'm not even there." And she got hundreds of responses that said something to the effect of "welcome to life as a man knows it".
The part that made it golden is she had written, some years before, an article complaining about the amount of attention she received from men. That one always seemed like a humblebrag.

True, but he did make a pretty unique sound of it that lots and lots of people really like. It might not take any virtuosity but it sounds really good - which is far more important.
Of course, he's a lefty douchebag but that just goes with the territory.

The women was leaving the country for a few weeks early the next morning. Thus, I got to dispose of the dear departed. That was, different, for a first dinner date.

can't tell you how many wimmenz I know who got married just after declaring that they were so over men and would never get married.
that's how I wound up with Mrs. Chronda; the guy she wanted got married to someone else.
weirdest one, though, is a friend of mine who went to Hawaii with her newly exboyfriend to celebrate their breakup. they just sent their second daughter off to college.

On my first date with my (then future) wife, my (future) mother-in-law called the local sheriff and told them I'd abducted her.

There's no such thing as a "he-whore". It's a silly term that the lefties made up to try and make some sort of contrived parity between men and women. It doesn't exist.

Re: Flynn
Based on the DOJ ignoring the Court order to file the Russian Ambassador call transcript - I'm assuming they didn't provide it to Flynn's team.
That could also be a violation of the Court's discovery order (linked below).

In grad school it was common (in the Bay Area) to be treated to a thorough feminist ear-banging throughout dinner, for which you then had to pay.
I used to joke that only two words would shut up a feminist: "Check, please!" Blessed silence would ensue until you'd paid the tab. Then back to the ear-banging.
That remains an unexplored orifice in my neck of the woods. But I am willing to give it a try. However, not in the middle of a restaurant.
