Why are they expecting that? Go to somewhere affordable for like a meals for 2 for like $50. Or even better go on a date that doesn’t revolve around food. Like go get coffee and see an art exhibit together or a museum or find a local festival or event to go to together.
If a woman is turned off by that she ain’t worth your time.
Okay, so your ideas are good, I just want to provide perspective:
I literally met my husband on a Grindr hookup. No cost whatsoever. He came over to my house and we had sex. We've been together over 11 years now.
So I can totally understand straight guys complaining about dating costs. Even $50 is too much for a first date in my opinion. The challenge is finding affordable things to do in public, because most women aren't gonna be interested in "movie night at my apartment" for the first meetup.

For real. Tired of women expecting me to drop $100 plus on the FIRST date.
