If decently socializing with you requires me to spent extra money, you definitely are a snooze to be around.

People like to drive outside the city to hike, travel, go to restaurants, movies, bars, ballgames, museums etc...

You don’t need to spend a huge amount on social stuff, but if you are only willing to do completely free activities, you are vastly limiting your social circle.

This was pretty much my point. If you have some spending money, and almost never are willing to spend it on things like this, then you shouldn't be surprised about significantly reduced social activity. Anyone who thinks hiking is free probably hasn't gone further or higher than their neighbourhood park.

Decently socializing with me would require a modicum of effort on each of our parts to engage in stuff. If the activities tend to cost something, and you choose only to conserve your money, then you wouldn't really be doing that would you?

If all the activities were costly, and I didn't put effort in to do other cheaper/free stuff to socialize with you, then I'd be the asshole.
