A dating site dedicated to food lovers sounds pretty cool, but
HiDine seems to have gotten it all wrong. The site launched in November, promising women they'll be taken to dine at their favorite restaurants by presumably wealthy men who will pick up the bill.
HiDine's tagline is "Chivalry is Alive," specifying that men will pay, suggesting that the lady only has to show up and look pretty (sugar daddy much?). HiDine explains:
At HiDine, we believe in old-fashioned chivalry. Men pay for first dates. You spend enough time and money on clothes, shoes, hair styling, and beauty products. Before you even sit down at the table with a guy, you have made an investment in the date in order to look your best. Any guy should appreciate that. And the last thing you should worry about is who is going to pick up the bill.
It makes you wonder if
Erin Wotherspoon had anything to do with the concept of the site. The whole thing seems antiquated and transactional.
