    She went on a first date and the thing that stood out the most as a positive is that he was willing to spend money on her?

    Fuck that. Youre not hyping up the man, you’re hyping up his wallet (on contributing to the ongoing commodification and transactional nature of relationships)

      Wow, /relationship_advice much? They should get divorced, lawyer up and hit the gym.

      I’m not installing twiXter to read the whole story. But let’s flip this - what if he paid with the expectation to get laid?

      Still jumping on the “after his wallet” bandwagon?

      Or, maybe, try this on for size: They’re both decent people, he surprise paid for the books as a very kind gesture without any expectations on either of their parts. And it would be a surprise to have someone do that, so maybe she makes a surprised comment about it?

        I would be on your side but…

        He might tried to pay for sex, we don’t know. She certainly posted what she posted. We can’t judge him as we know nothing. We can judge her for what she said. 2 people can be bad/good people while we only have data on 1 of them.

        The reason why some people aren’t happy with her post.

        I would never hype up a man

        Sounds a bit hostile. Like why go on a date with a man when your attitude is kind of hostile even while retelling the positive experience with that man?

        Then she “hypes him up” by pointing at the money that he spent on her. Nothing else.

        So she doesn’t want to hype a man but when he provide her with wealth.

        That is what she said.

        He might be a incel… who knows. We don’t and we don’t need to know how judge her.
