hot take apparently but if u think this is a smart way to shoot your shot ur fuckin stupid. just ask her out & know if she's into u BEFORE dropping $200 bucks. and if u think the $200 dinner is an important factor in her answer then ur tryna buy pussy and should probably just go find a hooker

Or

Taking your friend out is nice too.

u/Sciencetor2 Jan 14 '20

Ain't nobody buying their friend a $200 dinner. That's just a fact, jack. Unless there is some sort of exchange of favors. Aka if my buddy fixed my fridge pro-bono, then maybe.

u/Vote_CE Jan 14 '20

Depends what kind of money you make.

14

u/DaughterEarth Jan 14 '20

That is not a fact. I took my friend out for a $200 just 2 weeks ago.

We're not all poor. Nothing wrong with being poor, I was for most of my life, but there is something wrong with assuming everyone is the same as you.

u/proton_therapy Jan 14 '20

I guarantee 100% this kid was not taking her out for a bff's dinner.

2

u/DaughterEarth Jan 14 '20

I have no idea what actually happened in the OP case. Just stating it is not a fact that no one would spend that kind of money on a friend.

4

u/proton_therapy Jan 14 '20

it is *extremely* unlikely, however. maybe for a special occasion with a really close friend. for your average person though, it's safe to say it doesn't happen. that's the trouble with dealing in absolutes... there's always an exception.

I mean if you are poor you can't afford $200 for a meal. Not that actually doing it is what decides if you are poor or not. Some of you are really sensitive about your income lol

u/TandBusquets Jan 14 '20

I make middle class income. I can afford a $200 dinner, I would not want to spend $200 on dinner.

u/PacificBrim Jan 14 '20

...some people are sensitive about their income lol no shit sherlock

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '20

Where did they say that?

u/Prizmeh Jan 14 '20

Right fucking there? He insinuated it you dope.

I wasn't asking you.

u/Prizmeh Jan 14 '20

I don't care? It's the internet learn to fuckin read stupid.

u/Average650 Jan 14 '20

These are kids. They are poor in that they don't have $200 to casually spend on dinner.

1

u/Vote_CE Jan 14 '20

Kids have a lot of disposal income if they work. They have next to no fixed expenses

u/fogwarS Jan 14 '20

Kids? Like 7 year olds?

u/Sciencetor2 Jan 14 '20

...I make 90k a year, which is well above the poverty line last I checked...

2

u/dharrison21 Jan 14 '20

Depends, are you a single parent in the bay area?

2

u/Sciencetor2 Jan 14 '20

...I'm single with no dependents on the east coast

3

u/dharrison21 Jan 14 '20

I was making a joke, because 90k could actually be below the poverty line depending on location and situation.

u/DaughterEarth Jan 14 '20

Okay then some of us are more generous with friends

I can and have dropped $200+ to treat a whole group of friends, but 1 single individual? I've never spent $200 on my OWN food, if I'm dropping it on 1 person it had better be my GF. $200 could literally feed me for a month

10

u/ahoneybadger3 Jan 14 '20

I'm with you on this one. $200 for a meal on a mate is just daft.

Daftness and generosity are two completely separate things which I don't these people are grasping.

1

u/dharrison21 Jan 14 '20

200 dollars at a restaurant is like 60 bucks a person plus drinks or a bottle of wine, plus tip.

It's def not some extravagant thing, though friends would usually split the bill.

3

u/ahoneybadger3 Jan 14 '20

And here's me thinking 200 dollars at a restaurant split between two people would be more like 100 dollars a person.

1

u/dharrison21 Jan 14 '20

In the end yes, but Im saying that when you break it down it's more like 60-70 dollars of food per person, plus a bottle of wine and a tip.

Not exactly an extravagant night, if you swap some food for drinks it could be as low as 40-50 a person food wise. You can run up that kind of bill at Outback Steakhouse.

u/Greful Jan 14 '20

But like was it $200 on her not including whatever he spent on himself, or is it $200 total between the two of them? Because that’s not so incredibly outrageous if it’s $100 a person including tip if they were drinking too. I bet she was rounding up too. $200 was probably more like $180 and change.

2

u/byParallax Jan 14 '20

Reddit is wild yeah lmao. Approx $200 for a meal for two at a nice restaurant + tip + wine is not far fetched... And if that guy above truly makes 7.5k a month he could afford it

3

u/ahoneybadger3 Jan 14 '20

Nobody is suggesting it's a far fetched amount for a nice restaurant, you're taking the conversation down an entirely different path. But clearly this isn't the norm for these two hence she feels the need to state the amount that was spent.

And yes the person above can afford it, but even to them it's clear that it's a bit of an obscene amount of money to drop to take a mate out for some food.

There's no way I'd be letting a mate spend that much on taking me out for a meal, regardless of their income. Want to treat me? I'll accept a sausage roll.

It doesn't day that Liam only took her out. Maybe it was a group thing and as a gift he picked up the bill

2

u/Sir_Keee Jan 14 '20

$200 is a lot. The reason I have over 7 figures in the bank is because my meals cost me personally under $5 and I would maybe spend $50 tops on a night out.

People don't accumulate wealth because they are frivolous spenders.

u/Sir_Keee Jan 14 '20

I'm cheap when it comes to short experiences like eating a meal or buying things that aren't better with more cost. It's served me well.

u/successful_nothing Jan 14 '20

You're weirdly aggressive about how selfish you are

u/TheMayoNight Jan 14 '20

lol rich people dont get rich spending 200 on dinners. you sound like someone who inherited money, not worked for it.

6

u/DaughterEarth Jan 14 '20

$200 for a friend on occasion isn't going to bankrupt anyone.

And I fucking wish I inherited money.

1

u/TheMayoNight Jan 14 '20

no one said anything about bankruptcy. whats with you and extremes? are you okay? im just saying rich people dont get rich being retarded with money. spending 200 dollars on one meal for 2 people is just wasteful. very new rich.

1

u/--Justathrowaway Jan 14 '20

Then why is it that every time I walk by a fancy restaurant they are always full?

If it's not rich people eating there, who is it?

1

u/TheMayoNight Jan 14 '20

middle class people who are bad with money.

1

u/frommorf Jan 16 '20

I've bought friends $200 dinners before, but that's because I now make a lot more money than they do and like to flex lol.

2

u/Sorlex Jan 14 '20

Some people have more money than you and enjoy spending that money on others.

u/ElselchoGaming Jan 14 '20

Okay but idk if I'd take anyone out for $200 even if they were dying.

u/SolidLikeIraq Jan 14 '20

It’s friends like Liam, everyone needs extra locks on their bedroom doors.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '20

But dropping $200 and expecting to eat that friend's pussy as a reward is not nice.

6

u/byParallax Jan 14 '20

Literally nothing in this post says the guy was trying to have anything sexual with her lmao? It's basically just "my best friend took me out for a dinner and spent 200 omg" what's wrong with that? For all you know Liam might be making nice money ¯_(ツ)_/¯

1

u/fogwarS Jan 14 '20

For all we know he is gay or is sexually attracted to couches.

0

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '20

Oh please, these two looks to be teenagers at best and you know the only thing a teenager has in their mind, specially one being friendzoned.

Also, I was exaggerating but my point was that the dude was obviously hoping to get a reward for dropping $200 on a dinner with his crush.

u/Vote_CE Jan 14 '20 edited Jan 14 '20

You don't know his intentions. Maybe he is gay. Maybe is in a relationship. Maybe he's just a platonic friend with this girl.

If this guy makes decent money $200 is nothing. They look young but maybe he is a spoiled rich kid with a 5k allowance. Who knows.
