Expenses in an IRL relationship are a side effect of the relationship, not a direct price. And it depends on the person. While most people expect financial stability from their partner, some don't mind having simpler settings in dates. While it may be more expensive anyways, the payoff is a real person inerested in you, your life, and wanting to be with you. To an extent, it's like comparing living a happy life and doing drugs, because after all both of them end up translating as "dopamine in the brain".
