I mean, at the end of the day you have your own set of standards. Even people who are upset about not having opportunities don't mean they would literally go for any person who would approach them. Really the crux of my point here is just that you can make that choice. No reason to force it and you aren't a weirdo for not doing it.
I think you're taking Bacon's statement a little too literally. All he is saying and by extension all I am saying is "its not a big deal fuck it, just roll with it sometimes broskis". I don't think anyone really cares deeply if people do otherwise.
I don't really think it's overblowing anything. It's kind of just the nature of a debate on the internet that we have these long back and forth posts but in practice this sort of thing wouldn't even be on your mind for the rest of the night.
Fam, I hope its understood its just discussion haha. I dont think anyone is actually heated :P
At least it shouldn't be. There's plenty of people out there that it's not a big deal whether you spend the $5 or keep it. Again my only issue was the insistence that you had to do things one way or you were wrong.
I've turned down girls wanting drinks before. It was less the idea you shouldnt and more the idea that the money and the precedent are bad.
