Mr. Woohoo is trying to explain, especially from an American point of view (and I'm not speaking for all Americans--just a lot of us,) that free activities such as walking around a garden are just not going to produce the type of good date that spending $20 would. From his point of view, spending $20 produces a better date than no money.

As for myself, quite honestly, if a guy took me on a first date and wanted to:
a) Take a walk around a flower garden, holding hands
b) Eat ice cream (even if it was 100F or 32C out)
and then c)Wanted to see a movie...
I would first wonder if he was perhaps, 75 years old, stuck in the 1950's, or
someone who rode the short bus for years...but I digress...
I can't imagine anyone other than a Mormon teenager actually enjoying these activities for a first date; try a concert--or the theatre, even a band in a local pub (if you are sure that they are good) would be far more entertaining than just walking around.
Those are all date activities that you have time for
later in the relationship, and I don't know too many women who would be impressed by a long walk followed by ice cream--those are things that we did as kids.
Gentlemen, up your game a little bit, spend a few bucks, do something entertaining that isn't self-propelled! As for Panamanian women, well, they tend to have lower expectations, so that whole 'let's go for ice cream!' bit might actually work!
Cheers.
