"Look how beautiful she is!" said Paul, as the waitress seated the couple. Then, loud enough for everyone to hear, he boomed: "I don't deserve to be with her! She's so gorgeous!" Paul edged his seat closer to hers, then got to work on the menu. Moon said he ordered: "A salad, chicken, fish, and two lobster tails on the side." When Paul finished, he summoned two more lobster tails. After rounding off the meal with a devilish chocolate souffl, Paul declared that he wanted to date Moon "exclusively," then stepped outside to make a phone call. "A few minutes in, I had a funny feeling," she said. He never came back.

Hot with embarrassment, Moon told the matre d' she'd been ditched. She had never experienced anything like this. Soon the waitress was sitting in her date's empty chair, crying. "I wish I could take care of your bill," she sobbed. "I'm so sorry." But Moon had no tears to cry. She paid the $250 bill and marched out, imagining the cost of the meal in emergency room hours.

Online, Gonzales sparked a national conversation fueled by gender politics. Some people argued that for decades women have done the same thing to men by expecting them to pick up the check.

What do you think? Crime? Not a Crime?

I'm going to need to see a receipt or something. Extra lobster tails seems way over the top. If that actually happened, the date should be thinking it was some kind of prank before he ever bolted.

But supposing it's true and wading into the whole gender norm debate that the story is baiting, what's the standard these days when you meet someone you've never met at an expensive restaurant as for who pays?

Oh, it's real. He did it to 13 different women, and was arrested. It's all in the link.

He looks gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that (being gay, not skipping out on the bill).

If one of,the women has several brothers, he needs a settlement visit.

Jerk move, but I think there's a kind of unspoken routine that we accept is normal and only anything outside that is surprising.

Generally, the guy knows it is a calculated risk. He's purchasing the woman's time with an offer of entertainment, an opportunity to display his worthiness for wherever it may lead. The woman pretty much uses his willingness to spend and indulge, plus measure of enjoyability to be around in her own calculations.

When this traditional formula is violated, people get really bent out of shape. No guy wants to be known as a worthless freeloader or cheapskate. In the age of social media, that reputation could really get around fast.

In that case, it seems like a hobby, he must be trying to top his high score.

Like any challenging pursuit, it gets more difficult as you progress, he's got to go full Dirty Rotten Scoundrels soon.

Four ****ing lobster tails? No chance in hell I would wait around for the bill if my wife ordered four lobster tails, much less some ****** on a first date.

My first date rules:
If it is an online first date, I am going Dutch regardless.

If it is a blind date, odds are I am going Dutch, unless the person that set us up is a good friend that would be upset if I didn't.

If I meet you socially and I asked you out or if you make vastly less money then I do, I will pay.

If we meet socially and you ask me out, you pay, unless I am just completely blown away by how awesome of a human being you are.

That's a pretty high percentage. I would have guessed it wouldn't have been more than 1872%.

What were the charges?

If I take your mom out for a nice seafood dinner and she doesn't put out, like that would happen, but hypothetically... can I go after her for her portion of the meal?

2 felonies for extortion, believe it or not. They were trying to give this guy 13 years. The guy is definitely a scum bag, but that's way overboard IMO.

I think he was doing it for all the men victimized by women.

I don't think in today's world where women and men are equal that you can assume that members of one sex are always responsible for the check.


I can understand that but ordering the two extra lobster tails? That's going just a little too far.

She should have been tipped off way before that.
