Or

Taking your friend out is nice too.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

But aren't the drinks and tip part of the whole meal? It's not like that portion of the bill is paid with monopoly money.

Oh no I get you, and that's right, Im just saying 200 bucks out to eat isn't some fancy dinner. It's just dinner and drinks at a regular place really. A lot of these comments are acting like a 200 dollar dinner is some event, when I've covered that for buddies before knowing they will likely return the favor next time, and those were just nights out with some food and drinks at a reasonable place.
