"WOMEN from Perth are the cheapest dates in Scotland, a new survey has revealed.
One in ten women from the town say their dream night out is a burger at McDonald's.Fourteen per cent of women in Dundee don't blush if their new beau uses money-off coupons to pay for their meal.
Meanwhile 16 per cent of Aberdeen girls said they'd sleep with their fella after a first date."
Pic.No. Who said that romance was dead?
Read the article again. It states that not only are Perth women happy to go to McDonalds on a first date, but they say that it is their 'dream night out'. What's going on there then? How can any woman possibly feel bigged up by a Big Mac? Or maybe her date has a party piece up his sleeve; "'ere watch this. When I lob my gherkin at the window it sticks." It's just beyond comprehension.
Jeez, I just don't know what I would do if a date took me to McDonalds. Actually, thinking about it, I would probably beat him to death with a cheeseburger. And the courts would probably let me off because I would plead that it was a crime of passion caused by temporary insanity, and they would understand.
The issue of using vouchers, and sleeping with a date after the first night are slightly more contentious. To me, the use of vouchers on a first date screams of penny pinching and that is always a bad look. Sure, the guy might be careful with money, but the vouchers should be saved for when you get to know each other. Same with the sleeping with each other thingy bob. Maybe I am old fashioned, but I think that jumping into the sack on a first date is hardly retaining the air of mystery that attracts men.
Anyway I digress. I am interested in hearing your comments on bad dates that you have been on, and exactly why they were bad.

McDonalds??? Honestly, if that was my choice for taking a date...it would mean I didn't like her, and there would be no date. I haven't had a McSlider in 40 years.
I gues I am old fashioned as well. I think you need to know you love the person first...and I can't see a Big Mac as the deal maker :)
Thanks for the post.

"How can any woman possibly feel bigged up by a Big Mac?"
Bearing in mind we're talking about Scotland here, could a Big Mac actually mean a big... well, Mac?
Oh Masher you are so rude! *blush*
Hi Ron, I couldn't agree more - it has to mean that you don't like someone much if the best first date you can muster up is McDonalds. Bloody diabolical, that's what it is.
"How can any woman possibly feel bigged up by a Big Mac?"
Seriously, sweetie...if a woman's dream 1st date is going to McDisgusting then chances are real good that "big" is probably a relative term.
Sex on the first date....not so uncommon, yet I would venture to say that if someone took me on a first date to McGross my McDrink might have to find a way onto his Big Mac.
*shrug* That may just be me! =)

Apparently I need to move to Perth or Dundee :) ....lol...very interesting article indeed.
Love your blog!!
I bought a date a KFC after I slept with her!!!
I guess I'm just a modern man :)
I thought you took people to McDonalds that you wanted to KILL! Seems I'm wrong.
Ha ha Jewell - McDisgusting! Love it! It's not just you, trust me. I find it shocking that there are people out there who are happy with that!
That's well funny Colin! I can't believe you did that.. you are one smooth operator dude!
Hi Toy Couture, and welcome... it's nice to have new commenters! But [motions TC to draw close and whispers in ear], 'are you sure you want to be admitting that in public?' !!! Haha! It made me laugh
Fran, couldn't agree more. Well with one exception - the Sausage and Egg McMuffins.
McDonalds on a first date? That guy is history. After I scarf down the fries with extra salt of course, but then for sure he is history.
More surprising to me is that 16% said would sleep with the dude after a first date. Sluts. Tramps. Of course, with gay men that would be about 75% cuz there is a double standard, y'know, and men are all whores....
Lol @ Brahm :D
I wonder what the age of these 'women' was ... 16, possibly? With a hint of 'chavism' about them perhaps?
Hmm ... as much as I adore Scotland, and Scots, the news about McD's isn't so surprising; Scotland did appear to invent the deep-fried Mars Bar, after all. ;-)
Yum!
(That was most definitely tongue in cheek)
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Newly following you! I am lucky. My hubbie and I were dating since high school so I really don't have any bad date stories to tell. I would die if I had to date all over again and I certainly would not accept Mickey D's for a date!!

Money off vouchers: Well, the people in the survey were Scottish, and the Scots have a certain... reputation with regard to financial probity. Maybe the act of saving all those pennies - even on a date - is a good quality?
And *only* 16% of the female respondents would do the deed on a first date? I find that really difficult to swallow. Erm.
Brahm you are a terror! It might be 75% of gay men who sleep with each other on the same night, but at lease you don't settle with a McDonalds beforehand. That's standards that is.
Are you seriously saying that if David Beckham took you to McDonald's before a luxurious sex romp at his castle, you would hold it against him?
Not likely!
Enjoying your posts, thanks for the laughs.
