This is the definition of humanity
I take a sip of tea for you (literally)
I want us all to conquer our teamons
🙏🏻
I too take a sip of tea for you (not the most expensive one)
"Brewmanity" was right there.
And then "Bromanity", because bro code.
I want to have some tea with you but you’re paying and I want the most expensive tea…
Sipping tea and leveling up against our inner teamons
I'm gonna make a cuppa right now
I talked to this women for a month before we met for a date. When we met, I didn’t recognize her because all her photos were from over a decade ago and, it had been a rough couple years.
During the date I found out that she had 3 kids, was currently married, and her husband was currently in prison for attempted murder of the last guy she cheated with.
That’s the definition of actually dodging a bullet
Live a long life man, you’re doing great
Ohh my wife LOVES that story. When my kids are older I’ll tell them
It gets better.
Nothing is forever. Sometimes you gets dates with loons. It takes one date with a winner
Other than that, how was the date?
So how did it go?
I paid for her dinner, gave her a hug, immediately blocked her
Damn that generous? I would’ve been gone the second she said she was married.
The money for the date was spent the minute I left the door.
Being polite cost me nothing.
And I invested in my education because I learned a lesson
And because you are happy to be alive. You played it so cool. You could have made a big deal act all bothered and walked out. Then Jesse calls Cooter from prison hears all about Daisey’s date and next thing you know you get shanked walking Fido.
Exactly
yo if she ever messages again, just reply “tell your husband i said hi 😭” then block her before the FBI shows up
Yeah.... But did you pay for the entire dinner?
Not all heroes wear capes.
Sometimes, nothing at all.
Stupid sexy heroes
Helldivers do!
DEMOCRACY NEEDS ME!!!
I'd immediately ask for split checks
Split cheeks you say 🤭
I could imagine that he brings only a check for the guys portion of the food. Then as they leave, he confront the woman about paying for hers
That sounds like a funny conversation
"What's the most expensive thing on the menu?"
"We have a 20 year old white wine blend made with the freshest minerals and imported from Europe."
"Perfect, I'll take that"
"Yeah we're out of those."
if I took a woman out and she immediately asked for "the most expensive" X not even asking for it by name, I'm ending the date.
I was gonna post basically the same thing, but then I saw this. Ty.
That's a red flag with little red flags attached to it.
Not a date moment, but when I was in high-school we were on a class trip. In groups of four with chaperones (all volunteer parents).
Our chaperone decided to take us out to red lobster. In NYC. I was beyond grateful, but this one girl in our group started going on about how we should all order the most expensive thing just because.
I'm proud to say that me and the other two girls looked at her like she was out of her mind and told her that we would never respect her if she did that dumbass shit, and we should be grateful and choose something reasonable to eat. She looked so embarrassed lol she really thought she was gonna do something that night.
I hate the attitude of "oh you're paying? I'm getting the most expensive thing." To the point where my stepmother has to encourage me to order more pricey dishes when she invites me out to eat, god bless her heart.
"oh so you are doing a good deed? Let me teach u a lesson"
Wtf is wrong with that mentality
right??
"oh you're being kind to me so let me take full advantage, rather than being reasonable and thinking of ways to repay you for the free meal."
Makes no fucking sense to me. It's borderline antisocial behavior, imhuo (in my honest unprofessional opinion)
It’s narcissistic behaviour, with zero consideration or empathy for other people.
What if the most expensive meal is something you don't like? Buckle up and order it anyway? Is it about maximizing your own needs at the expense of others, or is it about getting satisfaction that others are hurting the most they can by your doings?
And does that tie in to narcissism, or is it sadism? Are the concepts related? I'm sincerely confused.
If you don't even know what their most expensive item is, how do you know you want it? "Eh, I'm not paying for it."
Girl once let me wait for a solid 1 1/2 hours, me sitting already at the table and getting asked by a waiter if I wanted to order food already every 15 minutes.
She arrives, and then proceeds to order a rather expensive meal.
She was very surprised when I split the check, and later told me very crankily that she was mad for me not paying, and that she "couldn't really afford such an expensive meal".
Needless to say she had two kids which she revealed rather late in the dating process.
Had a date that was going pretty good. We started talking about work and I told her what I do, she asked what I make and if I make over six figures.
Kinda taken aback I asked her what she did and what she made. Teacher, respectable right?
She then told me how she only dated men that made over six figures. I told her I made triple her yearly income and she like…lit up. Eyes wide and bright and so enthusiastic.
I ghosted her for a few days after that. My last text was that she didn’t make enough to match my lifestyle lol.
At a house party I met a co-worker of a friend. Both are school teachers. Call her up to ask her out
She says that i will have to pay for everything in the relationship because she is a school teacher and makes very little
We didn't go out. Years later, at another party, I see she is married and hear that the guy is miserable with her
I was on a first date with this girl and two or three times throughout the date she'd be mid-story and just go "I'm just kidding I made all that up." Once was weird. More than once I wondered what was going through this psycho's head.
Inside you there are 2 wolfes...
My wife and I are separating and tomorrow is her birthday.
Last friday I went into a boxing gym to get her 5 sessions as a birthday gift, and I told the guy that my wife and I are separating and it was her birthday coming up. He said "I hope it works out for you"
Not only did he give me 50% off boxing sessions gift card, he doubled the card to 10...
Yeah... I dont have much money these days but it was the first time in my life I cried due to the act of a total stranger at nearly 40 years old.
What do you mean by ‘separating’? This story confuses me.
You're getting a divorce and buying your ex a birthday present?
Not everyone hates each other when they divorce.
Even her terms of separating are confusing to me. I asked if it was a divorce too and she would never say it was...
I had a girl yank my atm receipt out of my hand to check my balance. She saw a number bigger than she'd ever seen before and freaked out. We never made it to dinner. It was only like $28k, I was fresh off a deployment from Iraq. I really wish I would have invested all that money....
Pro tip: two checking accounts. One has all your money in it and you never take the debit card out of your house, you just pay bills from it directly. The other has under $500 in it and that's the debit card you carry around for ATM withdrawals. Keeps your money safe from thieves and also from girls like this apparently.
Fortunately I no longer need to date but it def seems smart against theft
Hindsight is 20/20. Also, screw her. Glad you left lol
It's literally the only thing they tell these kids... Do not blow it in stupid shit like a fucking car. 99.999% of them blow it on a car.
You have fresh, just graduated basic enlistees making $30k a year, driving $90k luxury cars. It's absolutely insane.
Some of these kids get life changing amounts for reenlisting too... $50k, $100k... And then blow it on YOLO BB calls and $5k strip club visits.
Seen it too many times. My only big purchase was my s2000 for $25k. I just wasted it on trips and partying.
My best friend wasted a good amount of his deployment cash on just taking friends out to drink.
My personal take, as someone who's never served and will probably never earn that amount of cash in my life? It was yours to spend. The fucking US government barely values yalls life at $20k, why shouldn't you have some fucking drinks.
I guess if you were my kid I'd probably encourage you to do differently and invest. But even then, I wouldn't judge. How could I? I haven't served.
Because every single one of these kids is in a position to positively change the rest of their life... Or get a few dope nights out and some stories to tell.
You're right, they earn that enlistment bonus. But it's a massive national disservice to hand that kind of cash to an 18-25yo (most of which come from economically challenged backgrounds) and just say "good luck, don't spend it all in one night".
The amount of financial literacy education they give is near zero... So instead of coming out of the service and being setup for life, they come out of the service just as broke as they went in. Absolute fucking disgrace that we basically do this to them. Every freaking base has a load of car dealerships practically right across the street ...
I did plenty of that taking your broke ass civilian friends out drinking when were young. You want to have a good time and your buddies can't go unless you pay.
I don't even want to imagine how much I wasted on these adventures. They were fun though and I never had to DD.
You simply put a 25k deposit down on that s2k. You can cash out for nearly the same price years from now if you want.
It's literally the only thing they tell these kids...
Who is the "they" that's telling them this? As far as I know, US gov doesn't offer financial guidance to their recruits.
Do not blow it in stupid shit like a fucking car. 99.999% of them blow it on a car.
Agreed tbh. Or at least just make it a crappy used car to get you from A to B. You don't need a damned Charger lol
You have fresh, just graduated basic enlistees making $30k a year, driving $90k luxury cars
Isn't this a bit of an argument for why we should raise the enlistment age? I've had friends who joined at 18 and friends who joined at 30. Guess which ones had a plan for their money and who didn't.
But is that really our fault for overpaying literal children to be cannon fodder? Idk, I'm not sure.
Some of these kids get life changing amounts for reenlisting too... $50k, $100k... And then blow it on YOLO BB calls and $5k strip club visits.
Again, can't argue. I've seen some wild spending from dudes who got back from deployment. I'm sure the girls are just as bad, too.
But. They're dealing with really weird layers of trauma. Like, layers that average civilians can't imagine. My personal belief is that if they were all given proper mental healthcare at anytime, either enlisted or otherwise, they'd be much better off. From my tangential experience, they're not even allowed to ask for mental healthcare while they're serving.
Can you blame em for coming home and blasting money everywhere? I can't.
Sounds like he did both!
Went on a date with this girl, picked her up, took her to a decent restaurant. Everything is going good, until I made a joke about something, I don't even remember what, this was almost 15 years ago. She started lecturing me, I apologized and we moved on. She went back to it and started harping on it again, I said I get it, you didn't like the joke, I apologized, it's done, let it be. She wouldn't and kept returning to the joke. Eventually I said, "OK, that's it. I'm not gonna sit here and listen to this any longer" and I stood up, pulled out my wallet, she said "I'm not leaving until I'm done eating" I looked at her in the eyes "I didn't say you were coming with me. This will cover the bill plus a nice tip" and set the cash on the table and walked off.
Im surprised u still paid for it all
I would let her choose whatever she wants. Then ask for separate bills.
Exactly. Came here to ask "Wait, do you really pay for her on the first date?!", and you kinda answered my question....
Had a chick tell me she wants me to buy her fake boobs so she can get a rich man after me.
😑
she was obv joking you are sensitive
First date, my wife says “double single malt, neat”
Concise, to the point. Married 20 years.
BRO CODE. ALWAYS.
I went on a blind date with someone that was not my normal type. She was older than me and didn’t have the look I was normally attracted to. She wanted to drive so she picked me up. We decided to go to a bar and when we arrived I noted my crazy ex’s car there. I mentioned to her that we probably shouldn’t go in because my ex was crazy. This woman lost her mind and started yelling at me about not being interested in dating someone who lets their ex control their life. This literally was within 5 min of meeting. I told her that this was a waste of time and told her to drop me off at my home. Never saw her again.
I probably would've taken a taxi. By how you explained, she's not the type of person I'd let drive me home.
Small midwest town 20 yrs ago. No taxi’s and uber wasn’t a thing. I’ll be real, I should have walked but I was really overweight then and didn’t want to walk.
"really overweight", i dont think she was being uninterested just cause you mentioned your ex
Bwahahha. As a fat dude I had no problem getting dates. You understand that not only are there women who genuinely love fat guys but there are women who have been burned by ripped dudes and realized that fat guys don’t have that same ego. It always made me smile when I would see in shape dudes jealous. The problem with big guys is that many are depressed and don’t take care of themselves. They don’t have nice clothes, shower regularly, or know how to communicate. I pride myself on my cleanliness and style. My cologne probably costs more than the shoes on your feet. I have always known that dating is typically harder when you are big so you have to get the leg up if you stand a chance. But hey, you were there and saw the interaction with her right? 😂
If she orders the most expensive drink, I’m not fucking paying. Period.
Can we tell stories here?
I met up with this older woman. Tinder date. Maybe 5 years ago.
She was sexy. Not 25 year old sexy. But older woman sexy. But she was a bit dim. Definitely dumb girl energy. Kinda rude to wait staff. Probably cheating on her husband.
Anyways. We meet at this down town craft beer place. $80 for 2 drinks and some thin ass pizza and meat/cheese thing. Fine.
We to cheesecake factory after. I've never been. She said she would pay.
When it comes down to payment, her cards dont work.
I wait like an hour trying to get her to pay. She said she would, after all.
By this time it's 10 or 11pm and I have work tomorrow on top of a drive home. I no longer want her to come over and she looses it. Storms off another direction after we exit the doors
I'm thinking "cool, problem solved"
As soon as I get to my car, she yells lol.
5 minutes or so of her blah blah and I tell her she can get a ride to her car (still at the other place) or she can walk there.
She gets in, and somehow "drops her ring" between the seats and shifter. Takes me 3 seconds to get it.
I drop her off and I would think she would warm her car up like a normal person. Nope. She pulls up next to me on a 45mph 2 lane highway thing. Eyes red. Crying. Yelling at me.
She probably caused a fight with her husband and needed a place to stay that night, lol.
Let her order it. Split check when the waiter asks.
What a GigaChad. Chin bone cuts DIAMONDS
The first, and the last date.
Bro code forever.
Toxic femininity
For me, the girl called her mother during the date and invited me there to know her parents I confirmed later she was a crazy, but had a good guess at that moment
Top tier trashy date
Good people are hard to find. Dump the girl and find a good one.
Sounds like she just wants it purely based on the principle that she must have something expensive.
Tacky af, I’d have just walked out.
This is one of those memes that gets populair every few months
Girl worked in a urology office and IMMEDIATELY started going into the nastiest shit she'd seen while having no filter at all. Btw, I never asked about any of it, it was like she was using me to vent while also being enthusiastic about it. Never been more turned off in my life.
I might be interested in her, actually
“tell me more about the guy who had the glass sounding rod crumble while still inside!?!?!”
Can I have her number?
I'd take those stories over retarded tiktok/instagram stuff of today. At least they are genuine.
Pay it forward
That’s pretty bad
Tea for all on me
I was silly and ordered weird drinks not knowing the price a couple of times. I don't think I've ever directly asked for the most expensive drink. Usually pick on flavor and or silly name.
Bro code strong, damn. Waiter's a legend.
And people say male friendship is dead
When it happens just say "Wow, I wish I could afford it one day!" loud enough for the bartender to hear.
A true “i did not do it for the money” bro
If someone clearly shows that little respect on a date, if you have any self respect get the fuck outa there!
😏
Can't imagine wanting to be with a girl who sees you as her wallet lol
At the moment you know there will be no second date, so let her order whatever she wants and at the end tell that everyone pays their own bill. pay yours and leave.
If some random girl on a date said that I would literally just get up and drive home
That guy's mindset is kinda sad. So he's saying if that waiter didn't play along he'd have just let himself get used like an atm. If that's the case he's just as bad as the woman in his own way.
