I just saw a woman explain why she doesnt do 50/50 on dates and her reasoning gagged me.
She said : if i go alone id be paying for my meal, and if go on a date and pay 50/50 id still be paying for my meal so why would i want to get dressed up, spend energy on emotional labor, holding conversations, entertaining my date, if im just gonna pay for my own food anyway? Id rather wear my yoga set and scroll uninterrupted.
And couldnt have said that any better!!!
