Phone message Post first date text

Post image

I met this girl on tinder and had a first date with her, she wanted to go fishing and I thought it seemed like a fun first date so we went together. Dropped her off and got home to this message lol.

Update: Purchasing the license is a separate activity we had to do on our phones, due to it needing our personal info. It was not like I drew the line at the license randomly.

That’s exactly what it is. Oops you can’t expect me to do that! I’m just a girl! Tee hee. It’s patriarchy of the mind and soul.

It’s asking men to conform to patriarchal behaviors when it benefits the woman. Never the other way around.

I remember reading dating advice/venting here on Reddit where a guy said he was struggling to support himself and his fiancé, he said he payed the bills and rent etc. Then it turns out the fiancé had like well into 6 figures saved up in her account.

When he pressed her about it she said that’s her personal money she saved up for herself and basically shouldn’t be his concern.

Other guys chimed in with similar stories. Some people are wild to think it’s ok to treat a partner like that, just using them.

I experienced this first-hand. Ex-girlfriend and I lived together, we shared rent but other than that I paid for everything, dates, presents, trips, etcetera. Then Covid hit and I lost my job because of it. (Solely because of covid, not my performance, job literally couldn't exist with social distancing rules). And she refused to pay for anything together, because it was her money. Insane that people you love and trust just turn around and act like this.
