I know some hot girls and they will just go on dates with guys they don't even care about just to get free food. It honestly baffles me, i ask them why they do it. Im like how do you sit across someone for an extended period of time you have no interest in.

I personally think theres a culmination of reasons. The first and foremost, attention. Women THRIVE off this shit, even if they're not into you.

Second lack of self esteem/ self reliance to make themselves happy, they need the external validation.

There was some more i wanted to add but i totally forgot lol, hopefully if you get my drift you can carry on where i left off.
