Anyway, your reduction of human romantic relationships to "simple" financial transaction is so close to part of the incel world that difficult to see the difference.
I suspect you are trying to lump me in with a group I have no
affiliation with, so I will make it easy for you:
People sucks and uses other people as assets.
Women are people. Therefore they suck and use other people as assets.
Just as men do. Big surprise.

I did not read it that way. I have not ever met any women who are impressed by someone who cannot afford to go out anywhere and do things
You are over-thinking this. What we want - what most anyone wants - is to spend time *together*. You're the one who thinks that means going out for dinner or movies or whatever else it is you are lumping into the phrase
"go out anywhere and do things". A walk in the park is great, and doesn't cost anything! Sitting on a bench next to a lake and feeding ducks is free (except for the bread) and fun. And it can be quite entertaining because ducks are funny. (: Do you have a dog? Walking a dog together is a great
way to get some one on one time together.

How do you get to the park, or the lake? Do you own a free teleportation device? I am not overthinking anything. I speak from experience. In the early days especially, doing things that don't cost money won't get you too far. Even women friends I have and am not dating want to go out to eat or to a movie, etc... they don't want to just hang out, in public or otherwise.
The reality might be quite different in a relationship that has been going on a long time, especially one that has been made legal and is (supposedly) more difficult to disolve.

Everyone is different, and people who like the outdoors and do not need to spend money to have fun exist. You can always ask. The worst thing they can say is no. Nearly every town or cuty I've been to has a park or multiple parks, ponds, walking trails, or nature preserves outside of town. One of my favorite places is a nature preserve with trails through a wetland. They have boardwalks and elevated platforms for bird watching, photography, or just
chilling in the middle of nowhere. Rarely are there crowds in wildlife preserves. You might see an occasional geo-cacher with a gps looking for caches.

Mine has enough of those, too, but you have to spend money to get there, which was my point.

Everything in life is somewhere else. Does your date live in walking distance from you? Do you both have bicycles? Skates? A home cooked dinner sounds cool, but that means going to a store and spending money on food.

Hey now, we're talking about your situation here, not mine. But since you asked, in my youth I would've walked a half-hour each way and called that a gentle strolle. Now that I'm old, 15 minutes each way is a hell of a hike. :O

We really were not talking about my situation, either. Originally, I was on pointing out that someone else was correct when they said that it takes mone to date someone and keep them interested.
Reason I asked you is because (1) I think you are slightly younger than I
am (and therefore younger than women my age), and (2) I was pretty certain that I live farther away from all these wonderful, walkable free things than the distance you'd be willing to walk.
There is one park that I might be able to get to from here in 15 minutes walking, if I am able to catch the traffic at a major highway intersection just right. That is also the park where the junkies hang out, which does not tick you "safety" box. Plus, if I had someone with me, it'd take
longer than 15 minutes.
Any of this other wonderful free stuff is not within "free travel" distance for anyone who might be walking with me (although some of it would be in walking distance for me... 30 minutes one way is nothing unless it is Summer).

Y'know, I haven't been to a county fair since... wow, I can't even really remember! Not since my kiddos were all in single-digit ages (they are now 18, 16 and 14). I know what I want to do now!

the walking?

If only a young David Hasselhoff made an appearance as an impressionable kid, they could have tied Baywatch the same 'verse.

He told me "You can make more money, you can't make more time."
That's my opinion too.

One of my favorite hobbies is people watching. You get all types,

not realize vegetables have to planted and harvested, and animals are
the source of meat in stores.
Goths at a fair interest me. It is 100 degrees F outside, and these
kids are layered in black clothing. They all look like they're having
fun underneath their depressing surface.

Hmm... they definitely go to different schools than my kiddos did. Their schools had field trips to farms and ranches around the area, lessons in science about foods we eat and where they come from and more.

My youngest daughter is very much goth, she dies her hair black, she has naturally pale skin that she highlights. (Side note: I am Hispanic but my youngest got none of the melatonin genes. My son is naturally tan. You can tell that they are siblings in their facial shape and features, but they look like night and day versions of each other.)
She has periods where she's depressed, but for the most part she just likes the goth style.
