A woman has sparked a viral debate online after revealing that she expects a man to spend at least $200 on a first date for her “presence”. .
Dating etiquette has changed over the years and is not always as clear-cut as it used to be. Who should text first, who should pay for the first date, and where the first date will lead are all questions with no exact answers.
Instead, modern dating is all about getting to know your own wants and needs, being frank and open, and communicating well. But this can lead to conflicting expectations.
This was exactly the case after TikTok account ‘thedesirabletruth’ interviewed a woman while she was out for a night with a friend. When asked how much a man should spend on a first date, her answer sparked a viral debate online.
Self-described as “The Voice of the People,” this dreamer is known for taking to the streets at night and asking questions of passersby.
After stopping two young girls, the TikToker asked: “How much money should men spend on a first date?”
“I feel like if I’m going to get ready and use all of my products on a date with you, I need a minimum of $200,” one of the women replied, prompting her friend to startled look. .
When asked “what the man will receive in return”, the woman did not hesitate to answer: “My presence”. And despite other questions, she wasn’t willing to budge, listing expensive makeup and skin care products as the reason.
However, viewers were not impressed by the high price and quickly jumped online to share their thoughts.
One person wrote: “Women like it [this] absolutely terrible; the date is just for her. The fact that she said ‘He had my presence’ and didn’t acknowledge that he was there too is crazy. Don’t forget he also has to get ready, he has to pay for the car to get there, he [had] to pay for gas, etc.”
Another said, “What’s up with just having some coffee, lunch, or a drink or two on a first date?”
However, there are also people who agree with her; “If he can’t invest in a date then he’s unlikely to invest in a potential relationship, family with dependents.”
