Getting tired of being a "free meal ticket" and entertainment source for indian women (not all). Do you feel the same?

​I had an experience that highlights how broken the dating scene has become in Delhi NCR, or India.

​I matched with a girl recently. I suggested keeping it simple and casual for a first meet, coffee at Blue Tokai. She immediately pushes back and suggests Olive Bar and Kitchen in Mehrauli instead. Red flag? Maybe, but I decided to give it a shot.

​The actual date felt entirely one-sided. It felt like a job interview where I was expected to be the stand-up comedian and entertainer while she just sat there hogging expensive food, offering zero humor and matching none of the energy. The entitlement of expecting the guy to be 100% of the fun while contributing nothing to the conversation is exhausting.

​When I got home, I asked what she felt. Predictably, I got the classic "I'd love to be friends." response. Look, I don't need "friendship" from dating apps since I already have a solid group of actual friends.

​In the post date haze, I forgot to ask for her share of the bill immediately since we agreed to split the bill. Two days later I realized it and decided, money is more important than her friendship so I texted her for her split. She sent the money but with a massive, passive aggressive attitude. Honestly, IDGAF about the attitude. I took that recovered money (since i thought I've been scammed), bought myself a chai and a sutta, and felt relieved.

​It feels like a massive chunk of women(not all) on these apps are just looking for free high end meals, validation and a free comedy show with zero intention of putting in effort.

​How are you guys dealing with this "KANJAR" attitude without losing your mind?
