This is what grinds my gears. At no point (if this is real) did she ask them to pay for the friend. But because of their own misogyny, they're being an ass. And that's not even getting into the probability that his is ALL ragebait to play off misogyny for engagement. People getting pissed off making shit up in their head, then making others suffer for it.
Like the guy defenitely comes off as a dick but also if you check out conventional social media you will see guys who talk about being expected to pay for not just the girl but also their friend, and you will see girls talk about how if she brings a friend for protection then the guy should pay for the friend too.
So many variables exist that we don’t know but for some people there an expectation that if a girl brings a friend the guy needs to pay for both and I wouldn’t default that to just misogyny
Try and remember when you read this type of stuff that these people are the minority. These stories are not the norm and the much huger proportion of people going on dates that are more or less normal are not reporting their experiences because there's nothing notable really about them.
I’m not saying that is the norm but more so that it may not be just internal misogyny that causes the poster to reach their conclusion
I had girls bring a friend with them when I asked them out on a date and it didn't even occur to me that I would pay for them. But also I wouldn't expect the friend to hang around the entire time either, once it turned out I wasn't trying to hurt anyone they generally went away.
I mean but then that's social media. Again, like this post, how many guys posting are posting made up bullshit for engagement? How many girls are giving "tips," again for engagement? None of this is guaranteed to be real. The data stands, however: Per NBC polling, 44% of people think whoever makes more should pay, regardless of gender. 36% think it should be split, regardless of any factors. Only 20%, half of any other response, thinks it should be the one who asked (which is usually in straight relationships the man). I'm sorry, but all of this is at best a shitty date, and yet is at worst fuel for the fucking mgtow incel crowd.
Yes he was being a bit rude but it is surprisingly common for women to expect the men to pay for their friends and it is not at all unreasonable for him to put his foot down early and refuse before she even asks.
Being a little rude to a woman is not misogyny.
Nowhere in the screenshot does she ever say she expected the guy to pay for her friend.
He's getting mad about a made-up situation in his head. How do you actually deal with someone who's mad about something that hasn't happened.
The situation OP predicted wasn't the one where she asks up front.
"Its surprisingly common" OK buddy. Also yes, if you have a misogynistic belief about women, and then act on that belief, then it becomes misogynistic. Following a black person around a store isn't racist; doing so because you think their a thief makes it so.
It's cool that you haven't been online dating lately and all but your ignorance of trends is not my problem.
Yes that situation would make you racist, but that's also not even remotely comparable in any way so it's pointless to bring up. Go touch grass.
Your right! I don't have to, I have a wife and kid. The first of whom I met, you guessed it, online dating almost a decade ago, when this old-ass misogynistic meme was made. I guess that's the difference between us: You deal with online dating, I actually talk to and love a real woman. Sucks to suck I guess.
She NEVER said that she didn't expect him to pay, she just ignored it, and kept justifying why it was okay to bring her friend. She fully expected him to pay for dinner and drinks for both.
These girls are predators, and they tried to treat him like a chump, and people are pissed because he showed some self-respect.
You've been successfully baited by a fake screenshot and are displaying misogyny.
It's not misogyny to recognize and acknowledge that women can be bad people, just like men can be. In fact, recognizing that women are just regular people, is the opposite of misogyny.
I don't think all women are perfect (and never said such), but this post is 100% a fake screenshot that's misogynistic rage bait.
