First of all, before I comment on this part, I want to say how much I have enjoyed your responses. I think buying a woman a bunch of drinks (as opposed to one or two rounds) as flirtatious gesture is a bad idea. Particularly for the woman who is the target of the gesture. I believe that men that do this are really expecting something in return. That's why the scenario is worded in a way that represents the man as the victim. It might even be worse than that, they deliberately are trying to get her drunk. If you a woman, you should be wary of a strange man who spends a lot of money buying drinks as a flirtatious gesture. Don't get drunk with strange men. I'm not trying to victim blame, be safe.
