I could never feel safe on a date with someone who censors swear words in screenshotted texts on the fucking Internet.
Has this ever happened to you?

Is she hot? Because if I’m paying for the friend, too, then I’m expecting a threesome at the end.

At the very least you’re doubling your chances of somebody liking you.
Mickey7@lemmy.world 2 months ago
And that would be a good investment. Perfect way to find out if you are more sexually compatible with the “friend”.
SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Has a date where some chick brought her friend ever resulted in a good date?
Sounds like setting yourself up to create conflict in a relationship that doesn’t even exist yet.
There’s no other way to read this besides “I think you are a horrible person so I need protection on our public date, why am I going on a date with a horrible person? I wanted dinner”
That’s how it reads every single time, and men are expected to be cool with it, or they are horrible like previously assumed.

WTF are you on about, mate?
There’s no other way to read this besides “I think you are a horrible person so I need protection on our public date, why am I going on a date with a horrible person? I wanted dinner”
There absolutely is another way to read it and it’s: “there are lots of horrible people and I wanted to make sure you’re not one of them”.
I guess you reacting to this post in that way puts you bang in the middle of one of those two categories…
SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 2 months ago
What are you on about?
I just don’t think it’s healthy to assume every man is a psycho and then make them prove it, especially if you want to try dating them.
Luckily, I’m a married lesbian so i don’t have to deal with this stupid shit.

I don’t know about you, but when someone even implies I might be a terrible person I get extremely offended
BaldManGoomba@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yes. As a dude I recognize that a woman going on a date with a random person is and feels dangerous to most women. I am more than happy to go on a group date or hang out with friends she feels comfortable with for first bit of getting to know a person for like a month to first couple dates. Then once we are looking to know each other closer we can have more private dates. That being said I shouldn’t be expected to pay for anyone’s experience but my own in these dates or hangouts. Maybe my dates but even still definitely not the friends.
SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I recognize that a minority of men are assholes.
There’s no mature reason for a friend to come on the date in a public place.
The reasons stated are that men are violent animals and need to be vetted and I need physical protection from them even in public.
It’s a set of ideals rooted in misandry, and it doesn’t help women or men.

So fucking true like why the fuck do all of these damn corposhit platforms fucking hate random ass words just because advertisers are scared as fuck of having their crap advertised next to them?? I’ve actually fucking seen these cunts censor “stole” and “bullet”, what is this damn bullshit?? Shut your fucking asses up stupid corpobitches and stop fucking whining about random fucking words!! Random shitty ads that people block anyway are your fucking reason for annoying the hell out of people who happen to use these words? I will fucking kill these fucks with a fucking gun - they even censor “kill” and “gun” because advertisers are SO FUCKING FRAGILE that they cannot take any fucking mention of death or violence. The shitty enshittified shit platforms owned by billionaire shitheads are ASS and the fediverse’s war against them needs to be fucking accelerated or we won’t be allowed to say “glass” anymore because shards of glass can fucking hurt you and the jackasses will think that this means that the damn word will need censoring into oblivion. Or maybe the fragile fuckers will lobby to make using these fucking words illegal like the damn UAE has it. Fuck you corpobitches 🖕🖕🖕

She would lucky if I even showed up. NGL if there is that much distrust from the get, I’m not into it.

Mine was not a comment about the contents of the discussion, merely about the censorship of the word ASS

Wow, that would be instant end the date for me.
Why are you dating if you’re that afraid? And frankly, how did you work up enough courage to leave the house?
BlackRoseAmongThorns@slrpnk.net 2 months ago
Why are you dating if you’re that afraid? “Anxious people deserve to die alone at home” ass comment.
Honestly, having a backup friend in a date, given that I’m getting a heads-up because surprises aren’t very nice, would be a plus, i can meet a person, and their trusted friend, which is also important to understand where a person comes from, even though they’re not likely to stay for long.

If you think this is weird you probably shouldn’t date. You’re gonna see their friends at some point and it might as well be before you give too many fucks.

It looks like I’m going on a double date.
Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 2 months ago
As someone with mostly female friends, all I can think is hell yeah potentially more friends! More natural conversations with an extra body, plus first date is more about vibes than anything so if a trusted friend improves the vibes then bring that trusted friend!
HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
“Awe”?
Sibshops@lemmy.myserv.one 2 months ago
I’d agree easily. I’d even pay. Especially if her friend is single too. Doubles the odds and probably more fun conversation.
taiyang@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Not only does that sound like a better date to me, but I also make it pretty clear upfront we split the cost of the date. Like, I’m pretty good at winning over friends and they end up getting my back during a misunderstanding (speaking from experience lol).
Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
From now on your friend will always be referred to as Ed 209.

Tell me you have no concept of the day to day experience of women without telling me you have no concept of the day to day experience of women, speed run edition

Women are not fragile helpless creatures.
Going to a public place on a date is not something that you need to bring the whole crew for.
The way that he, (I’m assuming he), stated his response is inflammatory, but I agree with the concept behind it.
I cannot envision a path towards a healthy relationship that starts off with that much distrust, and if that were presented to me, I would assume that the two girls have conspired together to get free meals out of a simp rather than to actually start a relationship.
So that would be why it’s a no-go for me.
