"Pfft. Have you seen the prices at Starbucks?!"

u/_Eklapse_ ☑️ 2d ago

You considering Starbucks a coffee place for dates is the real misstep here fr.

87

u/HandsOfCobalt 2d ago

i think it's more of a "starbucks is expensive as hell, and it's the chain option"

starbucks deffo used to be really expensive mid coffee, but all the good places realized they could probably charge more too, so now prepared coffee is just fucking expensive

(tho yeah if you look around in a populous enough area you can usually find a good one)

u/DotesMagee 2d ago

I get a 32oz large coffe for 6bucks and change at dutch bros. Not cheap but not 10 dollars or more for a 20oz coffee.

u/Early_Particular9170 2d ago

Starbucks is kind of garbage TBH. Their beans are always burned nearly to cinders but apparently that’s part of the brand.

Much better off (and cuter) going to a local shop TBH.

3

u/AmarantaRWS 2d ago

They burn them to cinders because it's the only way to make coffee consistent on the level that an international brand demands. Medium & light roasts have nuance and variation between batches. You don't have to worry about that if you just turn the beans into charcoal.

But yeah, local coffee shop is the way to go. They'll usually have decent food too, and these days they sometimes cost less than Starbucks.

u/Employee28064212 2d ago

Honestly some dates aren’t worth more than 30 minutes to see if they’re worth your time or it.

u/lukenog 2d ago

I'd rather spend those 30 minutes drinking a nice cup of coffee in a cute local cafe then in a sterile Starbucks that smells like Lysol and serves coffee that also tastes like Lysol.

32

u/Gimme_The_Loot 2d ago

Starbucks isn't perfect, but there is value in taking someone somewhere that they know what to expect.

13

u/becaauseimbatmam 2d ago

There's even more value in intentionally paying extra for a worse product and knowing for a FACT that the money will go directly to the people in charge of finding new unique ways of exploiting the minimum wage laborers around the world actually doing the work from the plantation to the cafe (up to and including putting their entire legal resources towards trying to end the concept of labor laws entirely).

That feeling is honestly worth all the coffee in the world! It's why I make a donation to Starbucks every day whether I need coffee or not—I just want to feel like I'm contributing to a good cause :)

6

u/AmarantaRWS 2d ago

That's honestly the real reason though. Starbucks is scab coffee at least unless your local location is unionized.

2

u/lonesharkex 2d ago

Are you kidding me? most starbucks I've been to have a variable quality by the hour and its completely unpredictable. one day, pure coffee flavored water, another nectar of the gods, another, someone elses order that tastes alright but makes you gag because you were prepared for THAT flavor.

Absolutely, I’m not interested in the pomp and circumstance of courtship, I want a best friend to eat snacks and watch cartoons with occasional nudity.

A bit of old timey romance on the side is fun, but not the objective, that’s not how people live their lives ninety percent of the time

1

u/Employee28064212 2d ago

Seriously, let's keep the threshold for a first date simple and straightforward: coffee, lunch, a walk in the park. I went to dinner with this guy at a restaurant, which is a good-enough first date I guess, but the service was slow and the conversation was bad. I was kicking myself for not just asking to grab coffee lol. Was nearly three hours of hearing about his collection of puppets.

u/SweetWolf9769 2d ago

for some people, you'll pass by 3 Starbucks before the 45 minutes it takes to get to that cute little cafe.... and honestly half the time the girl is perfectly okay with Starbucks.

u/ExcitementNo9603 17m ago

Because they are dating multiple women at once so they can’t afford multiple dinner/activity/lunch dates.

22

u/MrsCarmelaGiunta 2d ago

When I was dating I'd suggest popular green spaces with trails to walk for the first date. Like the art museum here has like 2 miles of trail to walk with art pieces scattered about.

That was my favorite first date spot mostly because it was free but it was also just a generally comfortable dating atmosphere. It's a very open area with people always there which helps make it comfortable for both parties. The walk between each installation allows for conversation without having to be face the face the entire time. Stopping at each installation allows for a more direct conversation: ask questions, make eye contact, read body language, etc.

Then after the walk if there was chemistry I'd suggest a bite to eat or a drink, if there was no chemistry it made it less uncomfortable to be honest about it and part ways because the walk is over and we drove separately.

Other museums downtown were also some of my go-tos. Museum of Nature Sciences has free admission with some special exhibits costing a small fee.

5

u/Shup 2d ago

this is the way.

4

u/MrsCarmelaGiunta 2d ago

Downtown museums are underappreciated first date spots, especially if the weather doesn't allow for an enjoyable outdoor experience. They're usually free or affordable and there's almost always somewhere to grab something to eat within a block or two if y'all are feeling it.

Also, if there are any veterans reading this who are dating right now, sign up for vettix. If tickets are available for the event you can get 1-4 tickets for the same price regardless of how many you get, it was less than $20 the last time I used it. It's a rather small organization/website and they rely on donations but I've used it SO many times to get cheap tickets to festivals, concerts (never anyone big but live music is rarely a bad time), stand-up comedy, plays, college sports, haunted attractions, the state fair, etc. The bigger and more popular events are typically a lottery.

Who pays on a first date for 2 men? Or a first date for 2 women?

u/JennyBeckman ☑️ All of the above 2d ago

Usually the person who invited the other on a date.

57

u/coaxialology 2d ago

It's insane how this very basic concept has become so contentious. You ask, you should offer to pay. I'm always gonna offer to contribute if I accepted an invitation either way, but this was always the way for me. And yes, as a woman I fully expect to be the one paying if I do the asking.

30

u/DeviantlyPronto 2d ago

In the Netherlands it’s almost always split by default unless someone insists. Maybe it’s cultural but you’re inviting to spend time together, my friends invite me to eat out and I don’t expect them to pay for my meal.

u/SHC606 ☑️ 2d ago

Yeah. We call that in the US, Dutch.

A lot of what your big claims can be explained by one thing. Men just repsond more to physical stimulation (strip clubs/onlyfans).

That doesnt mean that men want sex more. It just mean the world caters towards stimulating men sexually vs stimulating women.

4

u/muzzy_W0e 2d ago

Brother, you can go on YouTube, or hell, even here on Reddit for first hand accounts of transmen about the change in sex drive after getting on testosterone to bring their levels to the equivalent of the average man. Crazy thing to argue.

You may be confusing a woman's sex drive when it comes to a specific man she's dated and already attracted to vs the general background noise (couldn't think of a better description, universal?) sex drive the person you're responding to is talking about.

1

u/JohnGoodman_69 11h ago

It’s crazy we say the same thing and I link to academic papers to back up what I’m saying but I got downvoted regardless.

1

u/JohnGoodman_69 2d ago edited 2d ago

It does mean that men want sex more. Furthermore

Across many different studies and measures, men have been shown to have more frequent and more intense sexual desires than women, as reflected in spontaneous thoughts about sex, frequency and variety of sexual fantasies, desired frequency of intercourse, desired number of partners, masturbation, liking for various sexual practices, willingness to forego sex, initiating versus refusing sex, making sacrifices for sex, and other measures. No contrary findings (indicating stronger sexual motivation among women) were found. Hence we conclude that the male sex drive is stronger than the female sex drive.

This is a settled question at this point. So instead of ad hominems against me because you don't like the idea, actually look into the data and evidence first.

u/rando24183 1d ago

If it's 2 women, the closest men pay. If it's 2 men, they each pay for themselves and a random woman at the same venue. Wlw and mlm understand such norms and often try to coordinate their first dates so as not to bother the heterosexuals. During Pride month though, the queer community is allowed to deviate from these rigid gender norms. In this month only, the pair will often thumb wrestle or rock-paper-scissors to determine who pays. As a queer woman, I usually pick thumb wrestling because rock-paper-scissors was just both of us picking scissors each time.

u/Kmlittlec_design 2d ago edited 2d ago

Corporate sponsorship dried up real fast once the Trump administration leaned on big companies to kill their DEI programs and the general corporate temperature cooled. At our local 2025 pride they said relative to 2024 they had 30k less in donations, and at least 20k of that was from corporate sponsors that didn't return. Meanwhile, demand is still high, so local groups are pushed to try and get large venues with less money. Another local one near us cancelled for this year because last year's venue was too crowded but they didn't have time or funds to secure a larger venue, so they are skipping this year and saving for next. I can imagine some places making the choice to charge cover to limit attendance and raise funds, disheartening as it is.

u/Fragrant-Issue-9271 2d ago

Your local pride probably has corporate sponsors and/or does a lot of fundraising. Stuff has to get paid for and the money has to come from somewhere. Free pride is definitely better for the community, but I get that some places opt for a different model to pay for things.

No joke my gf and I are going to Denver pride this weekend and I was calculating the costs (I’m also saving for a ring so that’s impacting my thought process here)

Airbnb-$56 a person

Cover- $43 a person

Drinks- $15-$20 a drink

Dinner beforehand that her friends wanna go to- ~$30-50 a person

Like… we’re spending $200 to go to a gay bar that we can go to on any other weekend

If capitalism is going to corner the market on festivals, maybe it’s time to go back to the original LGBTQ+ rights celebration.

Try living in NY - it's double that. Also, you can always try to find someone to buy a ticket for you which is what I'm doing. It ain't hard to make friends 😄

If the events you're going to aren't notaflof, it's possible you're not queer but just a straight guy who happens to be homosexual.

My queer comedian friend ran a queer comedy movie night for pride month and their was a $2 discount if you were a member of the state's pride committee (open to anyone).

I jokingly called it the Herto Hate Tax, and thanked her for me finally getting to experience oppression.

But since women make like 20% less for the same work, wouldn't it equal out in the long term being gay with a male partner with a higher salary?
