A male friend recently mentioned his experiences and it was pretty shocking, so I’m just curious to hear if it’s common.

  2. What was the shocking one?

    Unacceptable is a weird way to phrase it.

    Outrageous maybe.
    For me it was to a place in Queenstown NZ called Skyline.
    First off a 4 hour drive each way, $109 each for the gondola up and lunch, then another $50 odd each for luge rides.
    Excluding the petrol, any drinks or snacks etc…

    So all up wanted me to drive 750 odd km, so $125 on petrol, the. $318 odd on the actual date.
    Would have been a 12-13 hour day

  3. Hawaii. I gave some thought and we ended up going there for a week. She was pleasantly surprised and impressed.

  4. Umm…. I can’t say that I’ve ever had a woman ask me to go someplace unacceptable? I mean, was your friend’s GF into scat and wanted to tour the local sewage treatment plant or….??

  5. Women making the suggestions for the date are so incredibly rare that I’m just happy they were willing to do the leg work. It’d have to be a truly atrocious idea for me to criticize them putting in the tiniest amount of effort.

    At that point, I’d most likely assume they were just pushing me to see how far they could go.

    Note: ^((I said rare, not never. Just went on a date a couple nights ago that she suggested and organized and it was *amazing*; am definitely seeing her again)^)

  6. I went out with a woman thru a dating app and she insisted that we start pillow fights with random people on the streets. After many questions to gauge her seriousness about this, apparently this is something she has fun doing on occasion. Crazy bells were going off in my head so I doubled down on more info. She was dead serious and kept insisting we do it.

    Thankfully I insisted we didn’t and she thought I was boring the rest of the date. I’m cool with that.

  7. honestly, the worst suggestion I had was from an alarmingly keen woman to meet at her place for the first time, and she would cook. Even 1 date later that would be awesome, but as a first date, where we’re meeting for the very first time? No way. Why is she not even slightly worried I could be a lunatic? At best, because she’s got terrible judgement and no sense of self preservation, at worst, it’s because she’s the lunatic.
