Men Buying Women Drinks

“If at first you don’t succeed, buy her another drink,” or so I’m told the saying goes.
Just wondering:
If you’re a woman who happens to have a particularly high tolerance for alcohol, is it acceptable to allow a man to ply you with alcohol and to then enjoy watching him attempt to conceal disappointment as he empties his wallet while you remain completely unfazed?
Is it self deprecatory? You know he sees you as nothing but a sex object and you’ve decided in some weird way that you’re going to (literally) make him pay for it by allowing him to treat you as just that.
Is it incredibly arrogant to do so? Who are you kidding: you know that you think the guy is scum for not being able to see anything in you beyond the superficial.
Is it self destructive? Honestly, can you retain your self respect if you stoop low enough to allow your own conduct to be dictated by motives as reproachable as those of the other person involved?
