I mean come on, four days is enough to trust some to start paying for their child care and food right? Who knows, by the third date your paying for school supplies and putting their child in a private school! What fun! I could be spending all my money all someone else? Wow, that sure sounds like fun. "Hey honey, can you take me to the doctor to get a lobotomy? Before you ask why, I want to limit my critical thinking skills to make you happy.
First of all, let's calm it down with this IQ talk. Don't get ahead of yourself. You taking a simple statement and extrapolating all this private school and lobotomy hyperbole really belies this claim.
Second of all, you should look up this concept called nuance. The ability to recognize nuance is a classic mark of the aforementioned IQ that you prematurely boasted about.
Third, there is a major difference between throwing your money away to random strangers (your strawman) and a woman saying that part of taking her out is providing a babysitter for her kids, who will need to be watched if she is to leave the house. If $20 is too much for you, you can decline. I fail to see how that is holding anyone hostage or scamming anyone. Just like it isn't a scam for a woman to ask for this, likewise it isn't immoral for the suitor to decline to accept the terms. If you don't want to provide said childcare, then don't, and don't go out on a date with said woman. Easy peasy.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
