Hot damn, you are an asshole aspirant.
I have had friends who have regarded dates with guys they weren't interested in as "free nice dinner" or who wouldn't "date a guy whose car isn't as nice as mine." To me, that's bullshit.

You are definitely in a small minority. I think most guys would agree that they are lucky to get treated every 6 dates or so, and most of the time it's breakfast. I'm not complaining and, in fact, I like paying - all I ask is for a "reach," just so I know it's appreciated. But to go back to the original point, our dating conventions are not very different from Sebby's prostitution analysis.
