Don't Discount Dating with Coupons!

Would you take offense if your date used a groupon? That's the topic at the table in Tuesday's Girl Chat. Check out a teaser of the convo, and be sure to tune in tomorrow for more!

I love coupons. My husband used to think is was tacky and cheap. Now we laugh and smile about all the 💵💵💵 were saving.

[mayalicious]

a "real man" doesn't use coupons? wtf kinda logic is that.

[lianet]

People.. money ISNT everything.. one day we will die, and that money will no longer matter. What we should be focused on is whether we're walking that right path towards salvation.. trust me.. money isn't worth going to hell over

[KLB]

If my husband pulled out a coupon, I'd think he smart, financial savvy and not cheap just cause he's using a coupon. These broads are tripping.

[jewelthompson]

Men pick apart women just as much. Maybe not about money/finance but other areas like looks/behavior. We do it to each other.

[jenaedunn]

Using coupons just shows me that you are money smart and you care about saving your money. That is a turn on for me. First date 2nd 50th i don't care I like it

[Brandy_j]

I would prefer to wait till the 2nd date to use a coupon.. the only way I would be okay with him using a coupon in our first date is if we have a really good connection and/or I got to know him prior to the first date.

[ritz_essence]

For the first date the coupon is a no-no. Adrienne brought up a good point in saying that a guy saving is a great quality to have in the long run. Save it for date 3 though...

[shaslifewithra]

I think what Loni kinda meant to say is "not too many men carry coupons." Love you Loni.

[thatssojunior]

if a person pulled out a coupon on our date... they getting some 😉😂

[aicha]

the funny this is, if the woman was the one who should pay for a date and not the man... they all would be saying that you should use coupons lol..

[kaykraziimhad]

he paid for the meal. it doesn't matter how 😒

[a.williams]

It doesn't matter! Its the same thing as buying something on sale.
I'll take a 2 for 1 groupon date over a $100 dinner any day

[lamoskgr]

They used to be really judgemental on Tamar for being a like "Money-liker" but they don't want broke guys even if they are good people. Remember when Tamera said she wouldn't date a guy who doesn't have a car? I'm with Jeannie 100%, she doesn't give 2 shits about a man not having money.

[winxclubfairiesrule]

fr, I can see why some woul think this is cheap, but then again as long as it's paid for, is a coupon of any sort used to pay for dinner really that bad??

like if a guy did that on the first date, I might feel so type of way, but then just explain to me why you want to use a coupon and then I'm good because if it's the first date and you use a coupon it seems like you don't want to spend money on us, but like I said just explain and I'll be good. I don't really think using coupons are cheap or anything, just another way to save money and still get as much as you can with the limited amount of money you may have on you or on your card.

[stephaniebaileyc.g.i]

What if it's a college student, on a budget? (17😕

[raiisthename]

Loni and her real man logic. Like enough with the gender stereotypes. Like guys can't use coupons otherwise they're not real men?

[MajesticMyronn]

Well for me if I know I want to pursue a second date or future references I will make sure I save up not because I want to be a baller shot caller but make sure I don't give off a bad impression and let the woman know I'm interested... there are a lot of woman who think a man that uses a groupon is cheap and consider it a turn off... I call it being a gentleman but if you're really into the relationship then you guys could possibly go Dutch !

[KAYELLEK]

I get so mad at my boyfriend for never saving money. I'm pretty wealthy and value my money. He isn't and doesn't care to blow it all. It makes no sense

[chronicles]

I think that we should not equate money to a first impression, too many people think that if a man pays for dinner than he is the one, not really the first impression should be something that stems from how a man looks at you, talks to you, treat you and respects you. also if someone uses a coupon on a date you should not care because you are not paying for It. I have realized that the only reason why some women have a problem with men using coupons is that they don't want to be embarrassed in front of other people. once again women need to stop caring what other people think about them and their relationships if your man uses a coupon ohwell it means there is more money in your household and as long as he is saving money then that means he has more money to pay all of your bills and that is all that really matters.
