As hard as it may be to believe, the vast majority of people, male or female aren't obsessed with credit cards like most of us are and don't know the difference between one card and another.  Just be sure to pick one with enough credit limit to pay for the meal and go with it.

The only difference is Amex, people know about Amex.  If you pull out a CSP and an Amex Green, I'd bet my life that a person would be more intrigued by the Green.

That is true, although the realty is that CSP is better than AMEX Green. I have CSP and AMEX BCE, and the CSP is much more stunning. I think the CSP is more stunning visually and even more stunning when you hold it in your hands. Also, I think BCE is kinda cheap looking and doesn't look like an AMEX

OP: just don't use a Hooters card. lol. Unless she's that kinda girl that like it bahahaha
