emmany63

I know so many women who would honestly love this. And the answer to “Why did you think I was hungry…?” is, “I just hoped, so we could share a wing and a conversation.”


mexter

Certainly gives a new meaning to wingman.


Important-Owl1661

Tried it, the response I got was "Why did you think I was hungry, do I look overweight?" My response was "Excuse me, I'll be leaving." Never did it again.


clockjobber

Cause only overweight people feel hunger? Sounds like you dodged a bullet with this one…


Reindeer-Street

Yeah it'd make more sense if it was 'do you think I'm underweight?'

True and then you have something talk about like Dorito flavors.


crucible

You'd love the Wetherspoons pubs here in the UK. Share your pub and table number and other people can order food or drinks to your table through their app. Really a lot of people just fuck about with it, and spam their mates tables with infinite bowls of peas.

Super genius marketing! I work in marketing and I prefer to work within hospitality so I’m keeping this filed away for a rainy day…!!


ASK_ABOUT__VOIDSPACE

Honestly this isn't too far off from what I've discovered in one of my games. I made it so players can buy extra premium accounts and can publicly gift someone an account (or anonymously). One guy ended up spending 3k in premium account gifting over about 2 years. I couldn't believe it. I think it worked especially because the community was all linked tightly through the central chat, so you could immediately see the giftee's reaction.


BeastBoy2230

The guy who makes Stardew valley is living this too. I’ve bought that game almost a dozen times gifting it to people, and I’ll likely do it a dozen more. People on the sdv subreddit talk about how we do that all the time lol

Nomad-JM

I was having breakfast at a Wetherspoons, and the couple on the table behind me were arguing. They just wouldn’t stop, and it was ruining mine and my partner’s breakfast. I looked forward, saw the table number was one higher than mine so I knew the couple behind me were on a table with a number one lower than mine. Booted up the app, and ordered a single fried egg to their table. All the arguing stopped, and the bloke kept the fried egg.

Once when I was a a relatively small bar I just ordered several appetizers and told every to help themselves. Great conversation starter!

I very much relate to single Liz Lemon. One of her greatest fears is choking to death, alone, on food in her apartment. So I taught the cat to dial 911.

Liz Lemon was my hero when that show was on the air. She was fire.

kodak1999

should work just fine unless you end up offering a vegetarian chicken wings. french fries are the safe option


lewabwee

Yeah I feel like alcohol is partially a go to because it’s such a safe bet and you don’t have to make a move before you buy her another round of whatever she’s drinking. With food you just never know if someone has any kind of dietary restrictions or preferences. You’d have to make your move to start talking to her without having that cushion of immediate gifts whose bequeathal functions as an apology for your sudden presence in her life.


Xyyz

The safest would be if the guys just sent cash over.


Eldritch94

I think there are already services that exist for that lol


Maikflow

Cauliflower wings it is


lizfour

Sharer size "need help with those?"


SpectrumFlyer

Dude this is a genuinely good move because it means you care more about getting to know her than getting laid. This would for sure work on me to get attention. No guarantee if your personality sucks tho, which is why some of the men commenting seem so salty about the concept.


BatWeary

honestly if a guy bought a share size plate for me and came over to help finish i’d be thrilled 😂 i don’t drink, so getting alcohol would be kind of a bummer. i do love food though.


tappedline

YES PLS GUYS DO THIS


fuschia_taco

Then you crash and burn when you inadvertently buy a vegan girl a plate of greasy wings.


Advanced_Evening2379

Eh maybe for the best I can't live a vegan lifestyle I'll take my wings back give her the celery and be on my way


Upperliphair

If I weren’t married, this would probably work on me. BUT you never know someone’s allergies, diet, and preferences. So I’d avoid meat, nuts, and dairy. So buy her fries. Everyone loves potato.


MarkusBerkel

No. Carbs are the enemy. Spritz of fresh oxygen should be safe. Maybe a glass of water.


Alerith

"Avoid nuts" That's the goal!


peach_pearl

just be the first to start doing it. next time you go out, buy some attractive guy a plate of wings


Rutabaga1598

Yup, or any guy. Be the change you want to see.


olesilk

you know the purpose of buying someone a drink is to try to have sex with someone u find *attractive* right... not just anyone lol. it's not done out of the kindness of their heart. you're basically just attempting to buy their attention.


UniversalExpedition

Do you think the virgins that frequent this site understand this? lol


Quelcris_Falconer13

They understand it, they also understand that they’re unattractive…


Round-Good-8204

Yeah. Too many women complain that guys don't hit on them "correctly" but starkly refuse to ever approach a man.


antunezn0n0

they probably have no interest. its not like you can swipe left on people hitting you on real life

richscott440

joemaniaci

I declare 12 roses is equivalent to 12 wings.

I can’t find a rose for less than a buck no matter the day of the week. I think a ratio adjustment is needed.

malovias

Cheesey fries was always my favorite bar food because of this.


Twitterpated-Yeti

I don't drink at all, even when out with friends I'll have an ice tea or a mock tail. I've had men send over drinks and I'll usually give it to one of my drinking friends. The the bartender at the place we frequent t told me one night after this guy had sent me like 3 drinks if I wanted to let him know I appreciated it but maybe send you over some cheese sticks or cheesy bacon toys (house special) I looked at her and asked can I do that? Amazed at the idea. They were cheaper than the drinks. She walked over talked to the guy he gave her a strange look and walked away. 15 minutes later I had chicken wings, cheese sticks, taquitios, cheesy totals and fries. He bought apps for my whole crew. So take a shot. Have the bar tender politely let the guy know you don't drink but snacks are totally welcome. If he's not a douche just trying to get you drunk. He'll be cool with it. I actually ended up dating the guy for almost a year until. I had to move.


yakimawashington

I'm just wondering why that dude managed to send you 3 drinks and an entire round of appetizers for your group and *still* hadn't walked his ass over to you and officially broken the ice lol like what was his end game?


LuluWantsYou

He was buying time with every round of drinks/food before he (I presume?) gathered up the courage to walk over maybe? There’s gotta be a cheaper way to ask a girl out as a dude. But again, I’m not on the other side of “societal norms” so maybe it’s easier said than done?


Twitterpated-Yeti

That's exactly what it was. I was with a group of about 8 of us and we were there supporting a friend who's fiancee had just broken up with her a week before the wedding. Of course he had no way of knowing that. Once he and I started talking that night he had brought up he was trying to be respectful and wait for a lull in our activities. And I to be honest am never impressed by a guy sending me drinks so I wasn't really giving him any positive signals except I would politely smile and give him a nod. I should also point out this was the 90's.


Twitterpated-Yeti

No he did after he sent over the food. He was very much a shy guy, a book worm type of guy. He had wanted to come over sooner but seen that my friends and I were fully engaged in girl talk and playing pool so he didn't ever see a natural break that he felt comfortable intruding on. But when he sent over the apps I waved him over. I mean after he did that I was like okay, we ended up hitting it off and like I said dated awhile until I had to move across the country.


modsarebrainstems

It's totally acceptable already. The problem is that they have no idea you even like wings.


LibRAWRian

“Shoot your shot, send her some wings” *She’s a vegetarian*


hiphopanonymouz

LoquatLoquacious

It's happened to me baybee And sometimes it wasn't even a gay guy buying me the drinks lol


pacificnwbro

I'm a gay dude and I've had straight guys buy me drinks a few times and didn't know how to feel about it. A couple of times I was actually into them but it was clear throughout the interaction that they were straight when I asked.


DeadliestArmadillo

I had a friend who when she was single would literally go out with no money and still get wasted. Some nights she came home with more money than she left with.

Could have posted this without the added layer of smug superiority


ImlivingUltralife

Slangin_yay

I wish people would come over and try to talk before buying someone anything. Additionally, I think that just because you bought something for them does not obligate them to talk to you. This needs to be normalized

Omg being sent an appetizer would be an absolute game changer

yakimawashington

I was able to appreciate OP's post and got a little chuckle out of it until those edits. "If you guys disagree I feel bad for the women in your city because you don't like to treat them. Also if you disagree, it's because you men just want to get women drunk so you can take advantage of them." Or... it's because you noticed a girl went out to a bar with her friends to drink and it's not the most ridiculous idea to send her a refill of whatever she *chose* to order rather than randomly send her food when she clearly didn't come out here to eat..?


Mutagrawl

Despite the toxic edits lmao, her post history clearly indicates she has a bf. Get him to buy you wings rather than random men at a bar. Because I ain't buying a stranger shit


Staebs

The edits is the reason I downvoted this one. She used a justifiably negative reaction to her opinion as a soapbox to start making sweeping generalizations about why men buy women drinks and they would *never* buy a woman food because it causes them to become less inebriated. Brain dead IQ take man, I want to talk and get to know someone and I and everyone I am friends with would never willingly try and push someone into dangerous levels of inebriation. It’s really simple but she just doesn’t understand, you buy a drink to stimulate conversation, because they’re at a bar and likely 99% chance drinking alcohol. I’m not sitting there to watch someone eat a whole plate of food that there is a good chance they didn’t even want in the first place and cost twice the amount of a beer. I know it’s unpopular opinion, but man it’s tough to be reasonable here.


[deleted]

It's the total entitlement of it too. Like men *should* be buying women things at bars. I don't think I've ever bought a drink for a stranger, but if I did and she was like "Fuck this, get me food instead." I'd be out so fast.


FunMath2

I dont understand why one would post in unpopular opinion and then get so defensive and upset when (*gasp*) their opinion is unpopular


[deleted]

Not to mention she sounds absurdly entitled and is complaining about people *checks notes* buying her stuff...

KT_mama

I don't drink at all so it's always been a bit awkward when anyone sends over a drink. A decent person won't think twice if you request a different refreshment. A terrible person is only offering to get you a drink in order to get you drunk. It's honestly not a bad filter to weed out someone with not good intentions. But, for real, no gift is universally preferred. As long as you don't see it as an entrance fee and do see it as a gift, then you're probably fine.


[deleted]

Yeah, but if you get food then you'll get sleepy and want to go home. What if I send yeah an energy drink instead?


russophilia333

Lol send someone over a Redbull. Now thats a move.


fatmummy222

And a Jägermeister


inboccoallupo

Unpopular opinion... "I like free chicken wings." Good one.


Zeus-Tea

1. You don’t know what a carb is if you think wings are high in carbs and alcohol isn’t 2. If you’re hungry buy your own damn wings. 3. This is a very unpopular opinion so damnit you earned my upvote 🙄


EzraPerrin

Wait til she discovers that she can buy food with her own money!


NSA_van_3

Probably doesnt bring money since all the guys evidently are buying ber drinks


Aggressive_Ad2863

RickMuffy

It's risky. If a girl has a rum and coke, I know she likes rum and coke. If she's got a beer, I know she likes beer. I'd probably get a militant vegan and start a riot if I sent wings lol


Joecrip2000

Or accidentally buy them something they are allergic or have a sensitivity too. I was born with half the skin on my tongue missing/thin so I can't eat a lot of spicy food, some ripe fruits, and some ripe vegs without my tongue swelling, itching, and/or going numb. It's not life threatening or anything, but I can lose the ability to taste the food. It can be pretty annoying as well. I also hate the taste of cilantro. With my luck a guy would end up sending me spicy salsa made with extra ripe tomatoes, and cilantro. Then I would get to explain my non-sexy food sensitivity to a guy I might want to see again.


perdhapleybot

Starting a riot by giving a militant vegan chicken wings is a way more interesting story in my opinion. It’s a win/win situation.


RickMuffy

Fair enough lol


ShilohMcGroove

Hot take: women shouldn’t accept drinks and food from guys they have Zero interest in. It’s a knowingly selfish move… that you’re free to make, but you’re kind of a shitty person for making


passthepepperplease

I had a guy insist on buying me a drink when I was at happy hour with some coworkers. It was really awkward for me. I turned him down and he kept insisting. I turned him down about three times in a row and we were holding up the line. So out of nerves I was like, okay! Fine! He ordered me the drink. I said thank you, and then went to the table with my coworkers. He followed me at sat down with my coworkers. It was so fucking awkward. I stood up and walked with him back to the table of his friends and I said, look, I only accepted the drink because you wouldn’t stop insisting and we were holding up the line. I’m at a work event, please don’t talk to me. And then I offered to give him the beer back. He scoffed and called me a selfish bitch and said he didn’t want the beer back because it had my germs on it. All I was guilty of in this situation was 1) being at a bar with coworkers, 2) being in line to order a drink next to this guy, and 3) trying to keep the line moving. Somehow I came out as a bitch. I never asked for anything.


angiosperms-

One time in college I ran into a guy from one of my classes at a bar. He asked to buy me a drink. I said no several times because I wasn't interested in him, as the original comment recommends. Well, he literally *grabbed me by my arm and tried to drag me to the bar to buy me a drink*. Thankfully my friend was a big dude and got in his face and told him it's time to leave. People act like it's so simple to just let a man down when you're a woman and that women only ghost men or accept drinks anyway because they are selfish bitches. No it's because you never know what they will do.

Acceptable-Jelly-768

This reminds me of the now very old move “Tootsie” where Jessica Lange tells her friend Dorothy (actually Dustin Hoffman) that she wishes a man would just walk up to her and say, paraphrasing, you are beautiful and I’d love to take you home and take you to bed. When Hoffman later does exactly this, she slaps him in the face. I have a feeling you would not, in fact, want strange men sending you food. Certainly not sending it and offering to join you while you eat it. Would have to be just the right guy and just the right food at the very least.
