The economics of fun – The secret economics of a VIP party

Have you ever had the opportunity to utter the words “can I buy you a drink?”? It’s usually preceded by developing rapport and by the time you know the answer to the question, it’s a rhetorical question at that point.

Sure, I've had the opportunity, but as I said, I never saw the point of it.

I met my wife walking around in a park and commenting the art for display there. It was like 2PM in the afternoon, so the topic of drinks didn't really come up.

Buying a woman a drink at a bar isn't exactly the same as meeting a wife. It's quite a bit more superficial than that.

While I do agree, I still don't see the point of buying drinks in a bar when I could meet the same person in a much more relaxed and interesting setting outside of a bar instead.
