It’s the downturned eyebrows and the slightly wider mouth. It’s the “I’m showing my teeth because that’s what a grin is supposed to look like, but I’m not smiling with my cheeks” look. Because smiling with your cheeks is involuntary, and causes the outside edge of the mouth to pull up slightly more into a “sharper” smile.

Pretty sure it's about conspicuous consumption and how many people live above their means.
In practice, there's many rich people who understand that flaunting wealth is seen as crass, and many who don't want to be known as well-to-do. There are definitely wealthy people who also understand how wealth can taint their interpersonal relationships, and aren't excited to share how wealthy they are initially with a new partner, because they want the partner to like them for who they are, not for their wealth.
The first man appears wealthy, but in actuality has very little money, because he has spent his money on things that make him look wealthy. He flaunts his "wealth" only for it to be a sham.
The second man appears poor, but in actuality has a decent amount of money, because he has spent his money on things that actually provide value, while limiting conspicuous consumption. He would prefer to initially hide his wealth from a new partner.
This isn't meant to be a defense of the rich. By and large, most rich people are all too happy to commit to conspicuous consumption and let their interpersonal relationships be tainted by money. The handful of rich who understand how money twists things I do not think are properly representative of the whole.
Obviously it means that it you want to open a restaurant, you have to own a bike first
I've determined it means that people who ride bikes are smart and rich.
Based.
The Dutch.
Only exception.
This is all I can think of:
I gotta admit, the artist really nailed that "Oh my god what did I get myself into" - nervous fake smile in the fourth panel

I am sure they saw it frequently
I think the moral is that love is transactional?

(I think you mean second man in the second last paragraph)
Edited, thank you.
Why would you hang the opening day picture in the women’s bathroom?
This feels like something he does all the time.
To impress the women he brings to his fast food franchise on a date.
That's the door to the bathroom.
Ahhhh this makes much more sense.
Looks like a Dharman video Plot lol
If you try hard enough you can trick yourself into thinking it's loss
Eating sushi will break your pants and eating fast food will make you go to the bathroom. (Also please don't point at people with chopsticks.)
That woman owns only one dress.
Imagine taking someone out to the McDonald’s location you own as a first date. Couldn’t they afford someplace nicer if they own a restaurant?
They could but if they spent money like that, they wouldn't be so well-to-do. Gotta be a fuckin miser to make it!
And likely born to wealth, since rags to riches is statically improbable.
and even when it happens it caps out at like, millionaire.
you just cannot get musk level money without being born into it and severely exploiting people
People who flex their wealth are vain and selfish
