I don't think much of anything of n these people or those kinds of dating guru advice, which tend to regard women as monolithic, which is not true at all
I'm down to spend three days in Miami, eat at the Gucci bistro in Beverly Hills, or fly to NY just to eat at a place I have reservations for. I probably do more of that than most people I know, regardless of gender, and adjusted for socioeconomics standards. And, yes that can be a selling point, but if it's genuine, as in I am going to to do this stuff anyway, I'm just extending an invite, it makes a lot more authentic than some kind of charade to attract women.
The other counter is I put in effort to do those things. You have to get the reservations, show up on time, dress for the occasion, I really did fly to NYC for a week to go to 11 Madison. Was like 5k at least! And I ended up going with someone who was already in NY, because no one I asked, could really step up.
A lot of people aren't willing/or able to make that effort, especially, and this is great insight I had to learn, for someone they aren't in a "real relationship" with. Because to them, THAT'S what matters. I would think, well, what are you dong tonight that's better than what I am inviting you to? And that is sometimes the wrong equation.
