$200 for her “presence” on a first date? A woman’s revelation that she demands a man to pay at least $200 for her “presence” on a first date has ignited a heated internet debate. Dating etiquette isn’t always as rigid as it once was because it has evolved throughout time. There’s no right or wrong response to topics like who pays for the first date, who should text first, and where the evening is supposed to go. It can be difficult to date in the modern world. Finding love doesn’t appear to be as easy these days, as it seems like a new app comes out every other week.
Woman Expects Men To Pay $200 For Her ‘Presence’ On First Date
Following an interview with a woman conducted by the TikTok account “thedesirabletruth” when she was out with a buddy. Her response to a question about how much a man should spend on a first date went viral online. The Desirable Truth, who bills itself as “The voice of the people,” is well-known for roaming the streets at night and posing questions to onlookers.
“What’s the most a man should spend on a first date?” the TikToker questioned after stopping two young ladies. One of them said, “I feel like if I’m going to get ready and I’m going to use all my products to come out with you, I need like a minimum of $200.” She expressed her position without hesitation, stating the “minimum” amount a man ought to spend on her.
The woman immediately said, “My presence,” in response to the question of what “the man gets in return.” And when pressed further, she refused to back down, citing high-priced skincare and makeup as justification. She went on to justify her spending by citing the price of her skincare products: her eye cream ($300), moisturiser ($400), serum ($300), and makeup ($300).
Reactions On Woman Asking Men To Spend $200 On First Date
The expensive price tag, however, did not impress viewers, who immediately took to the internet to voice their opinions. It goes without saying that the video created quite a stir in the comments.
One person wrote, “Women like this are absolutely terrible; the date is about only her. The fact she said ‘He gets my presence’ and fails to acknowledge that he’s also there is crazy. Let’s not forget he also had to get ready, he had to pay for his car to get there, he had to pay for his gas, etc.”
Another said, “Whatever happened to just grabbing some coffee, or lunch, or a drink or two as a first date?
One person also said,
“My aim is to get to know if I’m compatible with a person. We could go to McDonald’s for all I care.”
A second person added:
“I wanna hear what her friend’s answers would be. She looks embarrassed by this girl’s answers.”
Someone also said:
“Guys get ready too and use the product. They also bring their presence. Guess she should be dropping $200 too.”
A few people pointed out the reaction of her friend, with one person writing:
“Her friend knows she is crazy.”
Meanwhile, one person wrote:
“He’s dating you, not the product you use.”
Another commented:
“Me and my wife’s first date was at chipotle & we are nine years strong.”
A third individual made the observation that she would most likely wear the same makeup on a night out with her pals but would not expect them to foot the bill.
She was not alone, though, in having supporters. A single reply read:
“That’s her standards idk why people make other peoples standards their problem.”
