Summary

Who do you think should pay for the first date? There’s a viral TikTok at the moment causing a bit of a stir, all about this very question.  Listen in to this episode to hear Rob’s thoughts! Tiny.cc/robsubs KEY TAKEAWAYS  According to the American Lawyer on TikTok, the first date is a great way to test whether someone is marriage material for you. She believes the man should at least offer to pay for the first date and pay attention to the way a woman responds to this. If the woman doesn’t even offer to pay some, then they are probably going to feel entitled in future marriage.   Rob believes that a man should not pay for the first date for many reasons. One of them being that chivalry is old fashioned and it doesn’t demonstrate equality. One fair way of doing things is that the invitee pays for the date. You can then take it in turns going forward. Many people also simply split the bill, as this is straight forward. BEST MOMENTS  “This question has troubled many people, for centuries” “Many women expect the man to pay for the first date, but why should they?” “If we want equality than surely we have to behave equally” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team  ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.
