In support of a toxic comment that encouraged cancelling a date because a man couldn’t afford to buy a dress, another user added, “My dear it’s a valid reason, if you want a date with her, pay for a dress. It’s not too much to ask.” This mindset is deeply problematic. It shifts the focus of dating from genuine connection to financial obligation, promoting entitlement over partnership. Expecting someone to fund your appearance before a simple date reduces relationships to transactions. It encourages materialism, not love, and distorts expectations in modern dating. True connection isn’t built on what you demand—but on what you bring.
