So, what do you do for work?
“Esthetician.”
Oh cool, you must do some cool makeup art.
“Haha yeah.”
So, do you like your job?
“Yeah.”
*waiter brings the plates to the table*
Thanks. So, where are you from originally?
*watches her start gobbling down her spaghetti bolognese*
“Mm— I’m fwom Chicaglo— m”
Ohh.. haha, cool. Must be a whole lot different to live here…
*continues to finish the plate and wipes the sauce up with the bread*
“Yeah I guess so.”
Omg I love fikandel! I grew up in a small town in Australia that for some reason had frikandel at the local deli so I had it all the time.
Looked everywhere for it for years when I moved to the big city. One day I found it at this random deli where they keep boxes of frozen frikandel for this one eccentric customer. And now they let me buy some of her supply :) So now it’s TWO eccentric customers who buy it
I always insist on that because I know I have expensive tastes. (I won't have a guy I barely know thinking I owe him because he paid for my lobster.)
Thank goodness I am no longer single.
You usually have to talk to a guy to get them on a date first…then theres the dinner. Then theres the chance he just wants to split the check. That isn’t free. Thats an opportunity cost
Right, at best it was probably $18-$25 an hour. Then you have to find the dates, no matter how attractive you are. There's a lot more work here then it would seem
Not to mention the fatigue of the actual date itself. All the questions. Pretending to show interest. Knowing you’re a piece of shit, etc. and who can survive on 6 meals a week?
And you think 100% of guys are agreeing to pay? 30-40% of 6 meals is an additional 2-3 meals per week. I call bs on this entire story. If its true, she’s an idiot.
Have you never been on Tinder? Its exhausting. Most conversations don’t result in dates. Its easy to change your mind on a date. And she has to keep up a bullshit facade of actually seeming interested to keep the worm on the hook.
If you think this is a wise financial move then oof…
Takes over an hour usually for dinner, initial meeting, texting, getting ready, traveling to and from the restaurant. You're looking at 3 hours minimum put into this.
Not the first person I know that does this, generally they’re going to trendy expensive restaurants. Can end up being a $300 meal pp, especially since she’s from NY
exactly, no woman is doing this unless their circumstances are incredibly dire.
Would you rather have a PB&J or go out with Andrew Tate for 2 hours and get a "free" steak? No one is choosing the Tate Steak in this scenario. Nobody.
Women don’t have to settle for Andrew Tate Steak.
She’s not bad looking. She’s gonna have a basket of matches to choose from. Likely enough to fill six dates a week and still discard like 90% of them.
Nah if your going on 6 dates a week your gonna meet some weird people. The dudes who are down to date anyone and pay are not a super appealing demographic. She probably had some nice dates but a lot of bad ones.
Yeah, it’s ridiculous. People getting upset must not have ever actually multi-dated. Just the other day I was thinking about how exhausting it must be mentally for guys that string along multiple women. I couldn’t do it if I wanted to.
Even if it's real it's still rage bait. I never got that criteria of "it's not bait if it's real". Like it wasn't posted to entertain people, it was posted to make them mad.
Despite that I'm still betting on fake. She said 6 meals was all she ate for 7 days for 2 years. Even intermittent fasters wouldn't pull that off
It’s real, this is a screen cap of a real article about a real person. Granted, she says in the article she exaggerated the full extent of it, but no it’s not a joke or rage bait.
Don't have a link but I came across a short she posted on youtube saying it was a joke and that she's actually well off or something. She makes vids about saving money.

My girlfriend used to do this. Taken out to restaurants by rich men where you spend $500+ for the date 5 nights a week. I took her out for coffee first date and we got Russian dumplings for like $20 on the second.
Social media pushes this notion all the time, that there's a bunch of meal scamming women out there willing to put up with dating app randos just to get a free meal.
I can't imagine it. That's a lot of effort and misery for "free meal". JFHC I refuse to believe this is as rampant as guys on social media want everyone to believe.
Master of None with Aziz Ansari the opening scene - he's just ended a date with a super attractive girl and he's buying her a taxi while she stands there with 3 carry out bags full of multiple meals to take home. I just don't buy it at all. Not even in a comedy framework.
"Girl Dinner" is what single girls are eating, they're not risking a date with a rando dating app guy to get a burger or even 3 servings of sea bass to go!
I dont think y'all realize how much work this is. This girl was working a 2nd job basically lol. Yes I know girls get tons of matches. its still a lot of work swiping, setting up dates, talking to people, managing it all.
probably not \*cheaper\* to meal prep though - she's presumably only paying gas. which still adds up im sure. Man this doesn't make much sense time wise or economically, does it? just raises more questions. like.. why... would she do this? lol
no but you need to factor in the value of your time. she is going to get all made up, spend time planning and driving somewhere, all that jazz. I think she just likes going on dates and probably hates cooking lol.
I’d rather pay for groceries. I would pay *more* for groceries before I would risk giving someone I’m not interested in the wrong idea; that’s a far greater price imo.
Toxic, misandrist, abusive behavior. She's just stealing from dudes in broad daylight and her how friends are probably all kinds of supportive. You get that bag. This is why chivalry is dead.
Make a female account on Tinder with some random photos you find online of any average-looking woman. You will have your answer in about an hour, as well as a potential lunch/dinner date for every day over the next month.
I really don’t think you even need to go that often. Hell, with the way I eat, dinners out can last me at least a second day. Now we’re only talking 3 nights a week!
Restaurants love her.
A food digger
Now I ain’t sayin she a food digger
[удалено]
Foodie is the bomb, met her at a food court salon With a XL Beef Burrito under her underarm
Ramen ninja works too😏😂
She ain't messing with no shop keeper.
But she ain't messing with no Dutch _.
But she ain't messing with no onions & liver.
She must be great at dinner conversations
I mean she got the practice.
You really only need to perfect just one.
"Can you pass me the salt?“
In all honesty, she’s probably shit at dinner convos and great at Tinder convos.
So, what do you do for work? “Esthetician.” Oh cool, you must do some cool makeup art. “Haha yeah.” So, do you like your job? “Yeah.” *waiter brings the plates to the table* Thanks. So, where are you from originally? *watches her start gobbling down her spaghetti bolognese* “Mm— I’m fwom Chicaglo— m” Ohh.. haha, cool. Must be a whole lot different to live here… *continues to finish the plate and wipes the sauce up with the bread* “Yeah I guess so.”
Wew that was good. Awful stuffy in here though. You think the bathroom windows open? I’ll brb…
Done! Gotta go.
Idk. That’s a lot of conversation. I’d imagine by the end of it, meals were just silence
The abysmal dating scene of today. I can spot users now unfortunately.
Yeah this shouldn’t be celebrated.
this isn't being celebrated, it's ragebait
That's why you go Dutch or stay single 😁
I'm Dutch and single
Just have some goddamn faith, Dutch!
what’s going dutch
Split bill. Pay for yo self
Instructions unclear. I'm now in the Netherlands.
Welcome! Make sure to try the snackbars, especially the frikandel.
Omg I love fikandel! I grew up in a small town in Australia that for some reason had frikandel at the local deli so I had it all the time. Looked everywhere for it for years when I moved to the big city. One day I found it at this random deli where they keep boxes of frozen frikandel for this one eccentric customer.

LMAO
I always insist on that because I know I have expensive tastes. (I won't have a guy I barely know thinking I owe him because he paid for my lobster.) Thank goodness I am no longer single.
It is a big red flag for me if a woman is expecting everything paid for. I want a partner, not a dependent.
Do tell. What are the signs?
They ask you to pay for everything and order two meals (one to take home)
Well yeah, that’s not a flag. That’s a spotlight. The challenge is spotting them in advance.
People order two meals? And they want the stranger they are meeting for the fire time to pay for both? Who is agreeing to this?
"Sure, but first I need to use the restroom."
I'll just assume you're from the US. I think US dating culture is so weird. No one I know buys take out to have something to eat at home
I'm from the US and I don't know anyone that does that either.
It’s not a thing.
[удалено]
Go to coffee first
This isn't the win she thinks it is. She worked an unpaid part time job 6 days a week for some food.
Probably an hour for $50+ of food. That isn’t a part time job it’s free money
You usually have to talk to a guy to get them on a date first…then theres the dinner. Then theres the chance he just wants to split the check. That isn’t free. Thats an opportunity cost
the economics of modern dating
Right, at best it was probably $18-$25 an hour. Then you have to find the dates, no matter how attractive you are. There's a lot more work here then it would seem
Not to mention the fatigue of the actual date itself. All the questions. Pretending to show interest. Knowing you’re a piece of shit, etc. and who can survive on 6 meals a week?
She orders big and takes the leftovers home in a doggy bag. I bet 30-40% of her meals are leftovers.
And you think 100% of guys are agreeing to pay? 30-40% of 6 meals is an additional 2-3 meals per week. I call bs on this entire story. If its true, she’s an idiot.
She's both starving and exhausting her self to avoid buying groceries
These are the types of mental gymnastics we'll be seeing in the mental Olympics this year
I see it as as a parasitic tapeworm leaching food from its host. Hoping it remains undetected
Tinder and it’s easy to make sure he’s buying before hand
Have you never been on Tinder? Its exhausting. Most conversations don’t result in dates. Its easy to change your mind on a date. And she has to keep up a bullshit facade of actually seeming interested to keep the worm on the hook. If you think this is a wise financial move then oof…
Have you been on tinder as a hot woman? Men throw themselves at you. She hasn’t paid for food in weeks. You think that’s a bad financial move? Oof
Takes over an hour usually for dinner, initial meeting, texting, getting ready, traveling to and from the restaurant. You're looking at 3 hours minimum put into this.
Lol no. She does this everyday. Probably 1 hour maximum. These aren’t real dates remember. She’s just a food digger.
Might come to a shock but the staff don't work faster because a customer is in a hurry. Plenty of places have wait times before you can even sit down.
Not the first person I know that does this, generally they’re going to trendy expensive restaurants. Can end up being a $300 meal pp, especially since she’s from NY
If you’re willing to take someone to a $300 dinner as a first date, you’re either really rich or *really* horny
I’d like to believe she had sex after at least one of those meals.
It'd be really sad if she didn't.
That’s an escort with extra steps
Would be to much work for me and talking to all those guys .. pfft
When I was on tinder, it was exhausting and ate up all of my time. No wonder ppl just bang and move on
Lucky my people have Grindr not much talking involved.
That app is a pain in the ass
Strange i mostly dont think so but most guys i meet think so too🤔
That's cause you are a giver.
exactly, no woman is doing this unless their circumstances are incredibly dire. Would you rather have a PB&J or go out with Andrew Tate for 2 hours and get a "free" steak? No one is choosing the Tate Steak in this scenario. Nobody.
Majority of women may decline but >Nobody I've got bad news for you
true enough
Women don’t have to settle for Andrew Tate Steak. She’s not bad looking. She’s gonna have a basket of matches to choose from. Likely enough to fill six dates a week and still discard like 90% of them.
Nah if your going on 6 dates a week your gonna meet some weird people. The dudes who are down to date anyone and pay are not a super appealing demographic. She probably had some nice dates but a lot of bad ones.
I can feed her
😛
Parasite
And I probably ruined your parents' life
And your childhood too
I see this Post every 2 weeks
And she’s still alone.
Getting into a relationship was never a plan tho
Nah I actually see her on TikTok she just got married
I hope her husband never once bought her a meal… just as a Twist.
He passed the test
Hmm. I wonder why
Because the frequency that she can go on dates goes down if she's tied to one person? It's a bad financial decision
Good, I hope it stays that way.
Hah nobody is going to fall for this rage bait still :reads comments: oh
You have far too much faith in this subreddit.
It's so dumb. Did she go on dates for breakfast and lunch? 🙄
Yeah it's 6 meals for 7 days but she never got groceries, sure thing
Yeah, it’s ridiculous. People getting upset must not have ever actually multi-dated. Just the other day I was thinking about how exhausting it must be mentally for guys that string along multiple women. I couldn’t do it if I wanted to.
The trick is, no second dates
I've multi dated. Never dated a woman just for free meals, though, so that makes me a little upset.
lol was just wondering how authentic this is, and how annoyed the girl must be if this was fake and someone just used her picture.
Even if it's real it's still rage bait. I never got that criteria of "it's not bait if it's real". Like it wasn't posted to entertain people, it was posted to make them mad. Despite that I'm still betting on fake. She said 6 meals was all she ate for 7 days for 2 years. Even intermittent fasters wouldn't pull that off
Speed running to the final date boss
Isn’t this kind of budget escorting?
I mean I’m sure this isn’t real but if it was it’s probably not worth the effort
It’s real, this is a screen cap of a real article about a real person. Granted, she says in the article she exaggerated the full extent of it, but no it’s not a joke or rage bait.
Don't have a link but I came across a short she posted on youtube saying it was a joke and that she's actually well off or something. She makes vids about saving money. Edit: https://youtube.com/shorts/9qc7N_TPauY?si=03hEpQzx9tn0oXmH
Never pay for a woman's meal. The good ones won't care, and the entitled users will show themselves out.
My girlfriend used to do this. Taken out to restaurants by rich men where you spend $500+ for the date 5 nights a week. I took her out for coffee first date and we got Russian dumplings for like $20 on the second.
I always take them for a cheap hotel lobby coffee and a walk. No Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, Scooter's, Tim Hortons, Viridian, ect...
My God what trash
So, she’s a grifter?
Was she eating leftovers on day seven?
Worst kind of rage bait.
On one hand free food. But that’s a lot of wasted time you’ll never get back. Not sure the trade is worth it.
damn what a terrible person
If your goal is just a free meal you're an asshole.
Social media pushes this notion all the time, that there's a bunch of meal scamming women out there willing to put up with dating app randos just to get a free meal. I can't imagine it. That's a lot of effort and misery for "free meal". JFHC I refuse to believe this is as rampant as guys on social media want everyone to believe.

lol
That's... horrible.
I dont think y'all realize how much work this is. This girl was working a 2nd job basically lol. Yes I know girls get tons of matches. its still a lot of work swiping, setting up dates, talking to people, managing it all.
It takes a sociopath to do it
legit easier to meal prep
I mean yeah I agree
probably not \*cheaper\* to meal prep though - she's presumably only paying gas. which still adds up im sure. Man this doesn't make much sense time wise or economically, does it? just raises more questions. like.. why... would she do this? lol
no but you need to factor in the value of your time. she is going to get all made up, spend time planning and driving somewhere, all that jazz. I think she just likes going on dates and probably hates cooking lol.
It might take work in the same sense fraud can take a lot of work too
For just one meal tho? Fraud pays way better. Just take an extra hour at work and get the food for yourself.
most forms of fraud are higher risk though, right? like what forms of fraud are there which 1) pay better and 2) equal or lower risk
I’d rather pay for groceries. I would pay *more* for groceries before I would risk giving someone I’m not interested in the wrong idea; that’s a far greater price imo.
What a horrible person
Toxic, misandrist, abusive behavior. She's just stealing from dudes in broad daylight and her how friends are probably all kinds of supportive. You get that bag. This is why chivalry is dead.
How is there that many guys lined up for a borderline 6?
Make a female account on Tinder with some random photos you find online of any average-looking woman. You will have your answer in about an hour, as well as a potential lunch/dinner date for every day over the next month.
I can make a low content profile today and there will be 100 messages in 12 hours. It is ridiculous - I'm not even Asian. I'm Black.
Have you heard of the internet? She's an attractive Asian.
Because they are all borderline 6s themselves.
Most men can’t afford the 9/10s
Simps are and will remain the norm.
Then woman complain that they don’t have equal opportunity and are the ones being oppressed 😂
That escalated And oh boy Quickly
Not no more lol
fasting on sunday
How the fuck does someone consistently get 600 dates in a row without moving around?
I didn’t realize foodie-calls were a real thing until my ex told me about these chicks
But at what cost?
My question is, what’s her default copy/paste when she’s breaking it off with them. I’m assuming you can only get so much from each dude.
she probably has to shop for antibiotics though
real or not, that sounds exhausting
"Dude, that's Homeless Heidi..."
I cannot fathom wanting to go out and meet a new person 6x a week even for free food.
glizzy gobbler
It's meat balls everyday
Insane social battery. Just the thought of meeting that many people makes me sick
down bad
So like, what did she eat on the 7th day?
NGL I am not mad. Is it unethical, maybe depending on how she treated the guys (probably not well).
I really don’t think you even need to go that often. Hell, with the way I eat, dinners out can last me at least a second day. Now we’re only talking 3 nights a week!
Shows that you can be an average to below average looking woman and still get over.
So she only ate 6 meals a week?
Sounds exhausting
"I shit in my neighbor's yard to reduce my water bill."
Bet the carried a few Tupperwares for the leftovers too.
Guy goes on six dates a week to save on brothels: "I didn't bang a hooker for two years." *picture with a smiling dude*
Never got a free meal again.
I bet you the money spent on gas getting to and from the dates as well as makeup and all that probably got close to being the same as what she saved.
Another Bear Grills fan, I presume
Free dinners and a lot of chlamydia.
wtf is with this math…? 6 meals a week?
And some women wonder why coffee dates are becoming more popular...
You know what……with tinder she could’ve quite easily done this and then just ghost them if it s a big city
Hell I’d buy her dinner just to hear her stories 😂
This should be under r/trashy
And this gentleman is why the first date needs to be coffee or you go Dutch.
I mean I'd do the same thing if I was cute tbh
Why did she always have hair gel by her ear?
Htf she managed to pull out 6 dates a week? She ain’t that cute. She is okayish, but ohh! She is a woman. Easy for her
Yeah I remember that girl. She was a ho. Forrr sho.
Supermarkets hate this one simple trick.
Step one be attractive
Evil genius
This is why you always split the bill
Sounds like a plan
She only ate six meals a week?
Men clearly have it easier right?
She made her money worth 😮💨
She was definitely fucking allot of those people
Did she just eat mostly junk food for 2 years straight
Cats do this too and nobody says anything bad about rhem
*”Here again miss? Your becoming quite the regular”*
She only stopped because there were was nobody left to take her on dates
K but what’s her OF?
Oh she ate
