The benefits are threefold: a. At every volunteer or charity event I've been to, the women have outnumbered the men (with the exception of the whiskey tasting event). b. You're not throwing away money at the bar... or at least as much money. c. You look like a real great guy - showing that you're the kind of guy who's a giver is definitely going to attract those ladies. "Oh, I simply can't go out tonight - I'm too exhausted from taking my Little Brother to the game last night." And now, for bonus item number 4: You would actually be helping people out!

I think I would like it as a way of saying to a girl (who doesn't already have a drink), "Would you like to talk for a little while longer?" I doubt it works at all as an attempt to display status, a pickup line, or buy affection, but I suppose it must, unfortunately, work sometimes as an attempt to make a woman's judgment poorer than normal. Having your own fashion adviser must be nice. :) And, yes, linens are a racket. I don’t really do the bar scene, but I assume that buying a girl a drink does work sometimes.
