This actually works really well because a woman who is superficial and isn't genuinely interested in a man will have a problem with paying for her own food, because she thinks very highly of herself. Unfortunately most men know that if they don't pay, they probably won't get a second date, or get laid, and so they just pay.

Some men have even come to believe that their role in life is to provide for women, and if a woman insists on getting separate orders, they feel like less of a man. This is all because of social programming that tells men that their purpose in life is to be a provider, even though women a capable of providing for themselves, and they can work and make their own money now (atleast in the west), unlike 100 years ago.

Women shit test men all the time in all kinds of ways, so the smart thing for men to do is to also test women, but not in a negative way. All you have to do is just get separate orders on dates, and see how she reacts and deals with that. If she has no problem with it (like an adult) then you know she's probably genuinely interested. If she has a problem with it, then she's not actually interested in you as a person then, is she? It seems obvious.

This approach has saved me alot of time, money, and energy.
