That woman was looking for a free meal. Plain and simple. She was very rude.

Think this is the first time I’ve seen people talk about who should pay for first dates and NOT piss me off lol

[jasromero]

no matter what... i as a female will always pay for my own food. the reason: i appreciate them giving me their time and offering to pay but i feel better paying for myself.

99.999% of the time it's the guy asking a girl out on a date. Unless you look like Brad Pitt or something. So the rule of whoever asks pays usually means that the guy pays for the first date every time. And then if she doesn't offer to pay the 2nd or 3rd date you dump her. The exception is if you know she is having a hard time financially right now with school or some other reason.

Corey was raised right. The principle is to KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GETTING IN TO. Don't just take anyone out. Know who you date. Not just cause something looks good.

Who 99% of the times invites for the first date? Men... You already know who's paying for first dates 99% of the times.

Please people

"bossy" on her necklace, bam straight to the back of the line

Woah. The black guys thought process on "having fun" after spending 400 bucks is the reason the "Me Too" movement is a thing.

[holdupnow]

Well the guy should have said NO while she was ordering. Stop taking women to restaurants that you can not AFFORD.

[teenindustry]

Splitting the bill is fine. People are equal

[alexandraritch]

If you don't want to pay a lot on your first date, don't take her to an expensive place. It's ridiculous to take a girl to a fine restaurant and have her order only coffe and cookies. Or worse, expect her to pay for everything. Who is taking out who? If you invite, you pay. You don't invite and expect your date to pay for it. Some men just have no common sense. They make it so obvious that they are not a good choice for the responsibilities and level head that a marriage requires.

[khngjay]

It's also expected for a man to ask a woman on a date, therefor making men always pay for dates. What a coincidence

[amypiliposian]

Shit I’ll go to in n out on the first date!!!! That’s the best place to be lol

[lmfao]

Women NEVER ask men OUT.

Of course they all _agree_ the person who asked should pay. 🙄

[butterlord]

I understand both sides of this argument, and both have valid points. But what it really comes down to is if you initiate the date you should be a man and get the check. And if establishing a relationship with that person is not worth the price of a meal then perhaps you shouldn't be dating. That being said, if it becomes apparent that she's taking advantage like in this video that's a *major red flag* from the start, she doesn't respect you and you need to call her out on on her BS. If she doesn't show sincerity and offer to help pay you should request separate checks and be done with her. Be a gentleman but not a cuck.

Uhh... I paid for both my bf and i on our first date. And ladies if you wanna order the whole menu best believe you should pay for yourself.

[ron.insight]

Wow hearing Alex Thomas tell that story about him and is wife is very relatable because I had a woman do the same exact thing and I was very impressed by that 😩😩

[j.inkstv]

Pay for your own shit until you know what the other person is worth to you. Its not that complicated. The whole "whoever invites out" argument is garbage because women still expect men to be the ones to apporach. Thats a catch 22 and women say this shit all the time because they know they're not the ones asking.

[whocares]

Unpopular opinion: I don’t think women should be “life coaches” or “relationship coaches”.

[benjerry]

Men taking care of all the bills is such a thing in the past. Women can have job now. Men can helps with house chore and taking care of kids. Do women actually prefer to go back to what it was? Do women want to be financially dependent on men and not having freedom to work? NO, right?

If women want feminism, then they should expect all the responsibilities that comes with it.
