Because it sends the wrong message. You take a significant other there for special occasions, or you take a date there if you're really interested/really want to get laid.

Or you take your friend there because you both like steak and wine.

Apparently, you can only eat steak with someone else if you want to get laid. Who knew? I've been propositioned so many times and didn't even know what was happening. Hope I didn't leave all my buddies hanging.

Married man 1: "Hey do you want to eat steak?"

Married man 2: "Yeah"

Married man 1: "Wanna get steak together?"

Married man 2: "Yeah"

What message does that send? I don't see where anyone is propositioning anyone else.

> special occassions

You don't celebrate special occassions with friends? Why not? Honestly, this is the saddest thing about the US. Other than romantic things, no one cares to celebrate friendship.

I get steak with my (also married) best friend, but we go get reasonably priced steaks together.
