And the most desperate single men in the country reside in ...

[Dick Whitman]

Indianapolis!

Willing to spend more than $226 on a first date, more than any other city at some site that apparently auctions off first dates.

Knowing how cheap people in Indiana are, I find this hard to believe.

They're willing to pay $300 if the Indy date brings her own chewing tobacco.

Desperate or classy?

I'm guessing most of us have had those first dates where we've dropped a similar amount of money... I had one in my mid 20s where I brought $200 in cash along and ended up having to pull out the credit card late in the date since she ordered a $70 bottle of wine at dinner.

 

[Humungus]

you were allowed to put her tip on a credit card?

I'm sure my first date with my wife was up there, and it wasn't too extravagent. We went to a concert. This was 12 years ago, so probably $50 a piece for the tickets? So that's $100. (I think I paid for hers. Can't quite remember.) I know we ate at McDonald's on the way. So just like $10 there. I bought her a T-shirt. And me, too. So another $50. Alcohol was probably in the $40-50 range between us. So that's right around $200, if you count my stuff. I remember I bought her one of those glow bracelets or necklaces that little kids have at Fourth of July festivals, as well.

I think dinner was $150. We went to a baseball game and then to a bar. By the time we got to the bar, I was out of cash thanks to her wine order.

I dated her for a year, so it wasn't a total waste, but she was definitely not a cheap date.

I don't understand any of that. After she makes you wait for an hour... after she takes the flowers you bought and throws them on the counter without a sniff... after she makes a snide remark about the restaurant you picked.... THEN you double down to find the most expensive restaurant in town? It makes no sense at all.

I'm thinking that story doesn't belong on that site. Nothing in that story makes me think the guy was a douchebag or the girl was particularly hot.

It's a fictional story inspired by the picture, fellas. Just that writer's opinion of what a first date with the girl would be like. Probably based on some regrettably expensive first dates where he got in over his head whilst chasing the siren song of an attractive woman.

Guessing a few St Elmo's visits helps skew the Indy numbers higher.

Yeah but at least that date was with your wife.

The return on investment was fairly substantial, yes.

And, as is the case with a lot of these, we didn't realize it was a date at the time. Hence the McDonald's.

This is not the poll I want to see. I want to see the poll for the city in which the most desperate single women reside in.

I took my wife to a New Britain Red Sox game and we had beer and peanuts. I'm a firm believer in setting the bar low.

Good grief!!! Guess some people never have to live on a budget. I'd be terrified of marrying someone like that.

I bet Jerry Gergich spent at least $500 on his first date to land Christie Brinkley.
