The dating website WhatsYourPrice recently reported that New York City men spend only $145 on average for a first date. This puts us in 11th place as big spenders, behind D.C., Dallas, Seattle, Toronto, and Denver. While the Post took the story seriously and chastised New Yorkers for being "cheapos," the boys of Reddit found humor in the story. After the jump you'll find some of the funniest reactions:

One redditor even shared some of his favorite cheap dates:

I think it is wrong attitude of the New Yorkers people. Because of you never think about money on date. You just spend money and give your best on your first date.

It is not good that New Yorker's do not spend more on their dates. We know that date is an amazing experience of your life. You should spend more money on your date.
