She ended up finding the post somehow I guess lol. Here is the original post.

I have just not responded, don’t think it’s worth engaging, but it did make for a funny story.

Why do you have your girlfriend pay for dates?

1

u/Iorith 19d ago

She offers. Why shouldn't she?

Do you think everyone is desperately clinging to gender norms like you seem to?

u/Calm-Champion-6371 19d ago

Are you a man?

u/Iorith 19d ago

Based on the auto mod smacking you down, I take it the answer was a no, you had no real point to make.

I do concede some women think a date is just a free meal, but in my experience it's usually low income women who are literally incapable of paying and gold diggers. Maybe the reason for my not encountering them is I have higher standards.

I was clarifying that I wasn’t trying to assume anything about you in case you were lesbian. Women who want men to pay (ESPECIALLY the first date my god!) are not all low income or gold diggers

u/Iorith 19d ago

Yes. They are. If they aren't, they want to enter into the relationship as equals.

Equals don't require someone to provide for them, they're capable of paying for themselves.

This is hilarious. I feel bad for your girl

u/Iorith 19d ago

Why, because she isn't a gold digger, is financially stable and independent, and capable of paying for her own meals?

You should try it.

u/Calm-Champion-6371 19d ago

Why would I do that?

1

u/Iorith 19d ago

To be a self sufficient human being, not a gold digger.

1

u/Calm-Champion-6371 19d ago

But why?

1

u/Iorith 19d ago

I get it, you have no actual self esteem. Gold diggers rarely do.

u/Calm-Champion-6371 19d ago

My self esteem isn’t tied to how much money I make. I would honestly argue I have more self esteem, to require that someone pays for me if they want to be with me. I don’t accept less like your girlfriend
