1:46
SPEAKER_02: We went to Hush and the bill was it was up there, you know?
1:50
SPEAKER_02: And I said, let's just split it.
1:52
SPEAKER_02: We weren't really committed at that point.
1:54
SPEAKER_02: It was just still like it was preliminary dating, if you will.
1:57
SPEAKER_01: Sure, sure.
1:58
SPEAKER_01: And and I I can't.
1:59
SPEAKER_01: And this is not premeditated though.
2:01
SPEAKER_01: You guys were just out having a good time and doing it.
2:05
SPEAKER_01: No, there are people that literally walk in with the mindset of I'm going to get a free meal.
2:12
SPEAKER_02: Yes, but what I'm saying is I I just cannot do that.
2:15
SPEAKER_02: I it's just not in me to do it.
2:17
SPEAKER_01: I understand.
2:18
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I'm glad that you can't because I feel that makes you better.
2:20
SPEAKER_01: Oh, wait, I'm sorry.
2:21
SPEAKER_01: Go ahead.
2:22
SPEAKER_01: What did you have?
2:22
SPEAKER_00: Well, it depends.
2:23
SPEAKER_00: Did you like the person before you went for the free meal or not?
2:27
SPEAKER_00: If you did not like the person a little gray area there.
2:32
SPEAKER_00: If you like the person but then found out you didn't, then nope, that's fine, because you at least gave it a shot.
2:37
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
2:38
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I like food.
2:39
SPEAKER_00: I probably would not turn it down and be like, okay, sure.
2:43
SPEAKER_00: As long as you're not a jerk about it and you're grateful and you just thank them at least at the end of the meal.
2:51
SPEAKER_01: I think no.
2:52
SPEAKER_01: If you like them or think you like them, and and let them pay, then that's okay.
2:57
SPEAKER_02: Because I'm in my mind, I'm thinking this is going to go to another date and I'll pay down the line.
3:02
SPEAKER_02: That's what I think.
3:03
SPEAKER_01: All right, you're thinking further out with it.
3:05
SPEAKER_01: Yes, exactly.
3:06
SPEAKER_02: And I'm not always thinking further out, but then with like for instance, we went to a very fancy restaurant on Friday, and Zach paid.
3:14
SPEAKER_02: And it was, I mean, and believe me, I wasn't skimping.
3:17
SPEAKER_02: I was like, mussels, steak, tiramisu, bottle of wine.
3:22
SPEAKER_02: And he goes, I've had you for six months.
3:24
SPEAKER_02: I just gotta make sure we we stick together for at least another six more.
3:28
SPEAKER_02: So I gotta, I gotta take care of you.
3:30
SPEAKER_01: I'm like, All right, okay.
3:31
SPEAKER_01: Sounds very nice.
3:32
SPEAKER_02: Yes, absolutely.
3:33
SPEAKER_02: But at the beginning, if I don't like you, I don't know why I could not get a free meal out of you.
3:38
SPEAKER_01: Because I I think that makes you a better person, to be totally honest with you.
3:42
SPEAKER_01: I think that uh, you know, I know that it's not a majority.
3:47
SPEAKER_01: I hope it's not a majority of people.
3:49
SPEAKER_01: See, like, guys can't get away with this.
3:51
SPEAKER_01: Guy, this is not something that a guy can easily pull off.
3:55
SPEAKER_02: It's not, and I think that it happens more in big cities because I could I there's such a big pool that you're dating so much more.
4:05
SPEAKER_02: You're going out to dinner at eight o'clock on a Tuesday.
4:08
SPEAKER_02: Something that I don't know, does anyone here in your 20s, if you're like on Tinder or Bumble or Hinge, are you really going out to dinner on a Tuesday?
4:17
SPEAKER_01: Likely not as much.
4:19
SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
4:19
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
4:20
SPEAKER_02: Are you like heading up the cellar on a Tuesday on a first date?
4:23
SPEAKER_02: I'm just glad to know.
4:24
SPEAKER_01: And and I don't know, maybe it is the dynamic of the larger city versus a smaller city.
4:29
SPEAKER_01: It's good to know you can't walk in premeditated going, I'm really not into this person, but I'm gonna take their meal.
4:36
SPEAKER_02: It's so weird though, although I always think like, oh, it's a small community, you can't get away with it here.
4:40
SPEAKER_02: Well, you could.
4:41
SPEAKER_02: Well, exactly.
4:43
SPEAKER_02: When my friend was visiting and he got on Tinder and I and we were swiping together, because of course I just had to Couldn't stop yourself having to take a look.
4:50
SPEAKER_02: Exactly, exactly.
4:51
SPEAKER_02: And I thought, man, I don't know any of these people.
4:54
SPEAKER_02: See?
4:55
SPEAKER_02: And also, like the most gorgeous people I've seen.
4:58
SPEAKER_02: I was like, what?
4:59
SPEAKER_02: I've never seen this girl before in my life.
5:02
SPEAKER_02: So so I think that you could honestly get away with it because I think that I know everyone.
5:07
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but let's not promote you could get away with it.
5:10
SPEAKER_01: What I'm getting at is it's not the right thing to do.
5:14
SPEAKER_01: I mean, that's that's taking advantage in a way that, well, you have certain goods that a lot of guys can't say no to.
5:20
SPEAKER_02: I have a let me throw in.
5:21
SPEAKER_01: That's a weird compliment, but anyway.
5:23
SPEAKER_02: Let me throw in a little caveat here.
5:25
SPEAKER_02: What if you knew he made a lot of money?
5:27
SPEAKER_02: Would it make you feel less icky doing it?
5:30
SPEAKER_01: No.
5:30
SPEAKER_01: I mean, well, again, I mean, if I was a woman and I I couldn't do it either, just for the free meal.
5:35
SPEAKER_01: I'm I'm sorry.
5:36
SPEAKER_01: I just, you know, Right.
5:38
SPEAKER_01: Unless I was like the the even it's even though it's a minor lead on, it's a lead on.
5:43
SPEAKER_02: Except for unless I was like eight days away from payday.
5:48
SPEAKER_02: Oh my God.
