Just spent about $100 taking the guy I'm seeing for our Valentine's date... It was expensive but well worth it because it was fun seeing him get excited about it.
That was after years of people just wanting hookups. It takes a while to find anything worthwhile and a lot of it comes from the fact that men are taught to be sexual and woman are taught to not be sexual. So, straight men have to cater to that, whereas gay men do not...
Isn't Grindr just for casual hook ups though? I guess it is way harder for gay men to meet other guys in real life but I am sure you could also find someone to take you on a date and everything. What about websites which are more for dates than sex?
Guys take girls out because that's what it takes for a lot of straight guys to get laid. A lot of gay guys have no problem dropping to their knees in the nearest alley
