There is a new scam brewing on the internet. It’s called an ice cream date.

This is very stupid considering that it takes fifteen minutes or less to eat ice cream. It has to be consumed quickly because it literally loses it’s consistency after a short time. It’s often purchased and taken to a different location. If you meet someone for an ice cream date what exactly can you establish about a person in those fifteen minutes?

The man is likely meeting many women from an app and wants to invest as little as possible. He is basically holding auditions to be a part of his vagina pool. (I want to emphasize man and woman and not teenaged boy and girl) In a brief interaction men can establish what a woman looks like in the flesh which is their objective. Since men are concerned about being cat fished with old pictures and filters they should get off apps and approach women in person. But again that’s too much of an investment.

A woman has nothing to gain from this kind date. A woman is making herself available to be looked over by a strange man like a piece of merchandise on Facebook Marketplace. The woman has a lot to lose by meeting up with a stranger with no real plans. Gray areas can be dangerous for women.

I’m not convinced that this is a real conversation. The man that posted it said he’s not Vance. I’m fairly convinced that very little that trends on social media does so organically anymore. I think most things that are put in front of social media users are there to bait people into sex trafficking or at least to make themselves available to strangers for sex. I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the dating apps made this trend.

I’m very disappointed at all of the middle aged women that think an ice cream date is a good idea. They may be sheltered by a long marriage which is great. If that’s the case they should stay out of modern dating conversations. Women need to be more discerning and value themselves and their time more. Feminist values have made women naive. Women are lacking wisdom, are not basing their lives in reality and are acting as pick mes.

It’s not likely that a woman will be harmed on an ice cream date but it’s a big gamble. All it takes is one encounter with the wrong person and that could change your life and the lives of everyone that knows you forever.

Furthermore, this woman just didn’t want to go on an ice cream date. She didn’t want to go and she stated that clearly. An ice cream date isn’t a part of her vision. These are strangers that likely met on an app so there isn’t likely to be an emotional investment. I think it’s better to look for reasons to not go on a date than there is to go on a date.

Aside from the safety risk I don’t see a reason to get ready for a date and drive to an ice cream parlor to eat ice cream for fifteen minutes and then have a conversation with a stranger about what to do next. Women are being suckers if they don’t think that man already has an end game and best case scenario in mind. A woman would be on defense the entire time on a date like that. Meeting at a restaurant is a slower pace and a more structured environment.

Spending money on dates seems to be a big issue for people. There is a restaurant chain that caters to any budget so a first date isn’t really a large expense unless the couple decide to make it elaborate.

Men online seem to be concerned that they are being taken for advantage of and used for food. I recommend that they be more selective in who they ask out on dates as opposed to trying to link up with any woman on an app that will give them the time of day. If being used for a meal at a family restaurant is a concern I recommend meeting up at a library. No one has to spend a dime.

Some libraries have meeting rooms where you can speak privately. That clears everything up and it’s not a fake date where a man can pretend to be offering anything to a woman. A meet up at a library can be long or short. It’s a safer environment with some structure. There is no fake date activity so you and your suitor can get to the point.

If you reserve a meeting room you need to check in at the service desk so there is a witness and there are surveillance cameras. Many libraries have security. This protect everyone’s interests. I love ice cream but I don’t feel the need to go there on a date. Ice cream runs are to be done in basketball shorts and a t shirt with flip flops. It’s a solitary activity or something you do with whoever is near you. Ice cream dates are not a good first date or meet up activity.
