How bad is modern dating? This bad...

This gets super-toxic when modern women try to charge a man 'date preparation expenses' as the 'cost' of her just showing up to go out with him.

I actually had a woman try this with me about 3 yrs ago - I cancelled the arrangement straight away. She probably ended up getting the high-value man she craved who will simp all over her, but it wasn't going to be me.
