    Cuckmaxxing grindset. Gotta respect the hustle and finding opportunities in unexpected places, such as becoming your girlfriend’s pimp

      She doesn’t have to go on the dates. They’ll spend enough on drinks, appetizers and service just waiting for her not to show. And then of course they would probably cross her off their list.

        Pimping out your girlfriend could make them come back later. Gotta keep the line going up, have that growth mindset

          I learned that a pimpslap is a cost-effective method of encouraging productivity that completely sidelines the necessity of a HR dept.

        and love the appetizers so much they make it a regular date night spot. GENUIS

    Huh. Throw out the cheating angle and what you have is a restaurant business development plan for 5 or 6 ladies you know who’d like to eat for free every night. I guess the bill comes due when they need to shake the dude loose at the end of the night and then deal with his phone calls for weeks or worse.

          There are plenty of services that let you use burner numbers. Hushed and Burner are some popular ones, or MySudo if you want several whole profiles (phone number, email, etc).

          Or if you’re insane like me you can self-host a custom frontend for Telnyx.

        I matched with two women recently who weren’t using their real name on the dating app, just first initials, A and Z. For A, I didn’t get her number until the end of our first date. For Z, she gave me her number before she gave me her real name and we still haven’t had our first date yet, busy schedules.

          I find that fascinating. I just wouldn’t turn up to an internet date who wouldn’t give me their number. If safety is an issue then get a burner number.

          I married an internet date and our kids are nearly teens now. 🤷‍♀️

        Back when I was still using online dating, it was part of the process of eliminating/reducing scammers, as well as disqualifying anyone who wanted to move to whatsapp. No idea even what portion of scammers vs legit people I eliminated that way. Eventually I was jaded enough by the whole thing that I had trouble engaging at all and just gave up on online dating.

      Throw out the cheating angle

      At this point, it’s less “cheating” and more “being trafficked by your boyfriend”

    What’s the practical difference between a “mandatory service fee” and a price increase?

      I’d rather them just increase the prices I see on the menu instead of unexpected charges at the end. I should be able to calculate what my bill will be based on what I order on the menu.

      Only reason I can think of to have a “mandatory service fee” that might make sense is if the place has live entertainment and you’re just a sitting there only ordering the free water.

      You probably still pay the service fee even if you only had water to drink and didn’t buy food.

      If my memory is correct, this was used by a number of restaurants in Japan that it got enough attention for a news story.
