My advice is to stop being desperate. You care too much about looking like a "stingy" douchebag. I mean, when you go out to bars, it really isnt a societal norm to buy a women a drink to start talking to her. Shits outdated. Once shits rolling and it seems like you're going to at the very least get a date/number, that's when you can buy them a drink.
This happened to me.
Some women came up to me and were like "want to take a shot with us?" And I said uhhh OK, but then realized they didn't have the shot yet and were passing the bill off to me and expecting me to put it on my tab.
I said "wait, you don't already have the shot? Pretty sure when you ask someone for a drink, you gift it to them" ... Turned around and continued to talk go my friends.
Maintain your self worth and understand when people are using you for your money. Im well off, but still. Maintain your principles and don't give a fuck what strangers think of you, no matter how hot they are.
Sure, I could've bought a round for them and maybe gotten them to talk go our group, but my friends didn't think twice. Fuck people that want free things from you. Not how I operate.

Thanks for this, yeah I’ve felt an utter lack of desperation in general especially compared to how I used to be with girls, but I think that mindset manifested when I was faced with that decision and I didn’t stand my ground

I wouldn't told them sure, told them what I wanted and waited for them to oder it.. no F way I wouldn't paid either.

Embrace being the stingy douchebag. Don’t allow yourself to be shamed into what you don’t want to do. Whether you had the money or not you’re it obligated to buy anyone anything let alone strangers.
So for next time, whenever a girls like, “Do X for me or else you’re a Z” your response should be along the lines of “Shit…I guess I’m a Z then” and laugh it off.

Or just call the girls a Z, or some broke ass bitches

I’d punk them. Order a beer or whatever for yourself and then ask the bartender for 3 shots of water. Give them the shots and walk away.

What if bartender gives them overpriced Fiji water?
[–]PracticeTerrible8660 9 points10 points11 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I would’ve said “you buy ME a drink” then say “ladies first” if she responds by telling you that you need to buy her one
[–]Sultmaker_9000 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
"How about you buy me a drink first, then you."
It really depends on your social calibration in these situations, some girls are just pros at rinsing men like this all night, in which case use the line above , and it almost certainly won't work either.
If they aren't professional attention seekers, and just being a bit cheeky, you can try a halfway house, and make her jump through a hoop first. Get one to do something like go a quick spin, taker her hand under your arm, and then chat to them for a minute, and tell them that they're worth a drink now. After that turn your body language away to the side of them, like you now have no interest in them and speak sideways to them, or something like that.
[–]Alex_O7 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Just say no. I assure you they will like your douchebag attitude 😉
Also don't care, if the girls moved away from you after you refusing buying them the shots they will probably do the same after the shots. They are seeing you only as a credit card, so stop being someone else credit card.
[–]PuroPincheGains 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Well $6/shot is cheap so you might need to slow your roll if you're hurting financially lol. Other than that, just turn it around on them. "Nah you buy me a drink." If not, then just get your own and that's that. There's no secret technique or wisdom for this, but you should know that caring so much about what some strange girls think of you is bad for two reasons; these people's opinions affect you in no way, and these people do not have your best interest at heart. They are very much using you for free drinks, you have nothing to gain.

They’re kind of in my social circle so they’re not strangers, but you’re right
[–]TheSunshineMan 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Doesn't matter.. they asked you.. to me.. that's them offering to buy you shots..
Otherwise F them.. why have girls like that in your life/social circle.
[–]Business-Purpose-724 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah you’re right
[–]Papa_Musk 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I say sorry I only buy drinks for my friends.
[–]Narcan9 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It's fairly common for some women to brag that they can go out and not spend a penny all night. Fuck that don't be a sucker.
A little social experiment. I dare you to flip the script one night. Go out with the intention of not buying yourself a single drink. See how many women you can hustle into buying you a drink. Tell them you accidentally left your money at home.
If you managed to convince any women, I bet half of them will just get a guy friend to buy for you. 🥴
[–]j2bbt238 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
lmao just say no
[–]ricoconyo 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Shouldve just owned being a “douche bag” like its nothing “Id rather be a douche bag” or something along those lines. Basically you shouldnt have folded regardless of the situation and carried about your business as if nothing happened.
[–]Graynal 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
don't worry about being the douche bag. they are being douches to you first; expecting you to buy them drinks because they are girls? seriously? It seems you already knew you they weren't into you other than to grab a free drink so you can even go a step further on the douche bag scale and look them up and down and say "I only buy shots for attractive girls"
[–]Sweet-Palpitation473 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
That's when you laugh at them
[–]Remarkable_Tree_1703 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
By saying no
[–]Kommoncents1 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Lmao I remember in my early 20s when a good night out at the bar just meant I spent no money. The great nights were spending no money and bringing home a girl.
Make it a game where you try to pick up chicks without spending any money doing it. It forces you to find other ways to initiate and keep their attention. Learned a ton in the years I was broke, and got me to stop feeling uncomfortable being clear about things like splitting bills and Uber’s.

"Can you buy us drinks?"
Sure, would you like lemon with your waters?

"No thanks, but you can buy one for me"...with a kinda cocky, playful tone. If they're bitches about you joking around, send them packing politely.
[–]Otec_Fedor 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
No is a complete sentence
[–]OrganicBafoonery 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
If I was so broke, I wouldn't be out at a bar...
[–]suWooWoo2 points 4 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
i'd have just said no. personally i don't mind complete strangers thinking i'm stingy, if i don't want to buy shit for you i wont buy anything for you.
[–]ejgil93 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Just say "no financio a comebolsas" and continue your night with other kind of people
[–]xxyxxyyyx 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I mean as long as you don't pretend to be a successful money guy then the funny "i am so broke i am drinking water" is very funny and positive, i have more success going full into the i am broke and i don't care about anything else and just enjoy myself then when i pretend to be successful and handle life well

If you're not feeding girls tequila shots, what are you really doing?
[–]HiramNinja 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
...just tell them you'll buy the second round...makes them buy the first.
[–]ORIONFULL23 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
That kind of girl is gonna take advantage of you, they know that guys will invite drinks in hopes to escalate things, dont be that guy
[–]aviator122 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I flip the script. Put them on the spot for bringing it up as if they are buying you a drink
[–]andrei_89 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Unpopular opinion. You should be able to say 'no, I'm broke' with a smile on your face and let it go. Why does it have to bother you? What are the social expectations where you live? Is everyone expected to be rich or what?
[–]IamLegendz 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
If you’re broke you really shouldn’t be out at a bar. You should be focused on getting that guap . If you feel like just saying “no” was rude (its not its very concise) just tell them im not that type of guy if these girls are trying to put the squeeze on you probably not worth your time tbh.
[–]muff_marauder 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I turn down women by claiming to be gay or by claiming that my girlfriend "would kill me" if she found out I was buying shots for other women.
"Nope. (confused somewhat turned off smirk) I'm the prize here, you should be buying me a drink."
Said in an ultra confident I'm the most desirable man in the world way..
Turn around and go back to what you're doing.
Some girls will get turned off by this, good.
You can't be boring Mr. Nice Guy with no backbone and get lots of girls.
But a lot of girls have never been told something like that before and you'll turn them on, intrigue them, and then want to figure out what you're all about.
They'll chase.
If that's too out of your comfort zone then go with:
"I think you have me confused with every other guy you've ever met." "No."
OR
"Is that your pickup line?"

Not give a shit. Plain and simple. If they disagree with the way you think, who cares?
