I don't look at it this way at all. How is it a scam if you offer to take a woman to dinner, and she accepts?

As with anyone else I do business with, friendships sometimes develop with providers. I don't pay my friends to eat dinner with me. And if someone's not my friend, I typically don't dine with them.

(OTOH, if you don't know a provider, and want to have dinner with her, you should certainly expect to pay her for her time.)

I agree DP.

I don't want a Provider GF (been there, done that.....one good one, one disaster)

But unlike dh, from time to time I do want something more than a simple F&G.

And I don't see it as a scam either; that is just more nonsense.
