Not really. It’s just a different take on dating strategy. A lot of her points are completely valid about guys investments in dating.

6 months into dating, yeah... I’d expect some emotional investment too. Otherwise why should I continue wasting time on you? Nobody wants to tread water forever.

Her take just didn’t allow for early dating, or blind dates, or young person/student dating, etc. So, I disagree 100% that there is no place for a “coffee date". That doesn’t mean I disagree 100% that her points about men being cheap and being low effort are wrong are misplaced. There are plenty of guys like that out there. We just have different ways of interpreting and dealing with that scenario.
