Guys usually travel for dates and pick the tab.
I know people who spend over $12k on dates till they got married.

And not every guy has a 'list of girls' to choose from
Guys don't usually travel as far as I know. Unless your talking about close by. And for the most part guys do have lists of girls names. Maybe they don't have 10 names but they likely wil let 3 or 4 at a time.

How long does it take a guy to get ready for a date versus the girl?

Usually longer. Take your average date where guy is in Lakewood and girl is in Flatbush. 7:00 date.

What time does each start getting ready? What time does each get home?

The reason it was setup this way is that allegedly guys can take rejection better. If he says yes and the girl says no before even dating, he's supposed to be able to handle it. I dint know if this is so true nowadays.

And when does the girl find that out about him? Once they're married?

Make your argument stronger by changing it to monsey. But so you know, not everyone here dated from lakewood

Personally, I'd rather drive than iron my hair.

Nope.
I have racked up thousands of miles while dating (including back and forth to Toronto but that's a long story)

Or guy from brooklyn, girl from monsey. Guy takes public transportation from lakewood to brkln to get dressed and let his mother fuss over him. Then drives the family's car to monsey to get the girl. Then drives to manhattan for date. Then back to monsey to drop her off. Then drives to brooklyn to give them back the car. Then public transportation back to lakewood.

That's nuts. He should borrow his chavrusah's car, and cut his mother out of it.

Not from monsey but my brother lives there so I sometimes stay with him when I come out to date. It's annoying and out of the way for sure!
