First of all - I apologize if this topic has been beaten to death, but I did a preliminary search and found nothing of value, so please bear with me.

I simply can't afford to go out 4 nights a week at $100, or even $70 a night.

Ladies are unfortunately very good at guilting men (myself included) into buying drinks for them. What are some of your best responses when girls imply that you should buy them or their friends a drink?

Some things I've heard from girls "Would you mind getting me a drink while you're up?", "You should buy us a drink to make up for [rudeness]" or "She's having a bad night you should buy her a drink". I've actually had the honor of being told how to get woman by the friend of a girl whom recently rejected me. Wanting to help me out, she started off by saying "first of all, you never bought her a drink" god fucking dammit.

Now though I am an AFC, I'm reasonably good with women, I can even occasionally convince some women to buy me a drink, and overall I am good at not offering drinks. However, when girls are forward I just collapse. I need some good comebacks that won't make me sound like a cheap asshole. I understand why I shouldn't buy a girl a drink, but I don't know how to get out of the situation without DLVing myself into the ground.

So how about it Seddit, can you help me out?

TL;DR: When girls imply that I should purchase them a drink I usually give in, what are some good comebacks that don't make me look like a cheap asshole?

Edit: I appreciate the hearty response, everyone, you're a great help
