If you learn to cook for yourself and invest the time you can not only cook everything to YOUR specifications and create challenge dishes and recipes but you can make for yourself a constructive hobby to hone your skills and impress your friends. Restaurants count on you bringing your friends for a social gathering and convenience to make bank.
Really, a lot of businesses make bank off of social and ingroup pressure to spend collectively. Usually when I go to a restaurant it's to look at a menu and find a new dish to make.
Failing that you can just spam nachos if you're lazy.
I'm a lady who's a decent cook, but I ain't spending a whole day just to cook Japanese ramen if that's what I'm craving. I go to restaurants as a treat once in a while to have something I wouldn't make at home.
I love cooking. I like going to restaurants for the ambiance, the service, and the expert foodie-ness. You're talking like patronizing any type of resturant is a bad thing. Some of us like to get dressed up and go out because it's fun, not to impress others.
I'm not talking about McDonalds, TGIFridays, or some other chain.
