Only 33% of women ADMIT they date someone for food, not interest.
Given that women only consider 20% of men attractive to date, versus men consider about 50% of women attractive, the number of women going on dates just for a meal is considerably higher than 33% of women.
I never pay when out with a gentleman....date or otherwise. Never has been an issue. Could be said the company you to choose to keep matters in the equation.
