Like I said I wouldn't just flat out end the date but for you to say he's got something wrong with him because he chose to?

If he ended it because he felt like he was being singled out as a potential rapist, then yes there is something wrong with him.

No there isn't that's called "feelings". I know daddy taught you that big strong men can't have those but they do.

What the woman did was unnecessary. Message your mom/friends check up his social media. Don't take a pic of his fucking plate.

Again there are multiple reasons he might have decided to say fuck it. And again you don't get to decide there's something wrong with someone just cause they took offense.

You sound ridiculous. I know I'm repeating myself but it remains true.

In what universe is being labeled a potential rapist not offensive? Be cautious but do it in a way that is appropriate and discreet.

Chick was dumb. I wouldn't date her either.

You DO realize that every woman that goes on a date with a stranger has to take that into consideration, right?


What if her reason for taking that picture was because he is (hypothetically) a Muslim? I mean it's just a precaution and she doesn't know for sure that he's not a radical, right?

Yes, it's hard to empathize with a guy that out of touch with reality.

>Goes on date
>Girl gives first impression: I wanna take a pic of your license plate in case you assault me
>Ends date immediately
>Is out of touch with reality

????

Why is this rhetoric so violent against a dude who jsut didn't want to go on a date with a girl whose first act was to put the idea of him as a potential sexual assaulter in his mind?

Because apparently all men are expected to be unfeeling stones, and if one just so happens to be made a little uncomfortable its justified for a news site to kickstart a witch hunt on him.

But oh no, apparently its all "hurr durr victim complex".

I just mean they'd be fine with it, none of us actually have a list. I don't think in terms of normal or not normal, I think in terms of whether they're acting in good faith or whether their actions fit the situation.


I dunno, man. You're making this kind of sanctimonious when it really doesn't have to be. It's not about thinking in terms of normal or not normal, it's whether something seems off-putting which isn't a logical thing.

Like if you were really about actions fitting the situation and good faith, why haven't pushed back on my farting metaphor? Your date should be able to rip a huge one in front of you, shouldn't she? That doesn't show bad faith, and the only thing making it inappropriate is that it's not something you typically do in front of polite company.

but for some reason there seems to be a general acceptance from all quarters that, yeah, farting in front of your date probably isn't a good idea.



I'm not trying to sanctimonious here, so I apologize if I am coming across that way. You're one of the best posters on this board. But there's a difference between doing something everyone actually knows is unacceptable and serves no purpose vs. choosing a marginally acceptable way to do something valid and with an important purpose.

(Sigh) that would be offensive, but that's not what happened here. If he thought that's what she was doing then he's mentally unstable and should seek help.

Cause you say so.

You can't grasp different thoughts or reactions and leap to absurd judgements then repeat them ad nauseam.

Maybe come up with some reasoning or something different to say instead of just repeating yourself.

I'm not really concerned about how this act "set the tone" for a first date. The first thing I'd want to be sure of is that everyone is comfortable and feels safe. Because nothing goes off well on a date until that is accomplished.

No, you're right, I get that. I was just trying to reframe it because I don't view it as an insulting thing per se. It's just kinda socially awkward imo to start a date like that, much weirder than "my friends know where I am," because like... what are you gonna do with that license plate number?

breaking off a date at that point is gonna require some bigger issue than that for me personally, but I can see someone who is more casual about dating just saying, nah, no thanks. That's all.

I do. I gave an example of a story earlier where a girl I dated told her mom where we were going, and my initial thought was "that's a little weird.." but then I thought about it for literally two seconds more and figured "i'm bigger, faster and stronger than she is and I bet she's had WAY more negative experiences with dating than I have, so I'm not gonna let something I perceive as awkward bother me. In the big picture, her actions make sense."

But if it was my goal to get offended and stay offended and make it personal, I could have done that too.

Exactly. People are fast to label and attack men for "toxic masculinity", but when they show their feelings and sensitivity they're still the bad guy.

What kind of a psycho thinks everyone they meet is a rapist? The dude was right to avoid that red flag.

The woman only exposes her own insanity by doing some stupid shit like that.

Like, where does this whole female thing "OMG he might be a psycho rapist killer!" come from? Why is that even a thing? Because of the 1% of the population that are murderers? Also why is she going on a date with a guy she thinks is a killer or a rapist? If she was truly uncomfortable with getting in his car she's probably unstable herself and it could easily be remedied by meeting at a public place.

Holy fuck our society is going full on moron.

I see someone has never misjudged someone's character before, good for you.

It's not bad to show your feelings. No one is attacking him for that. It's for getting offended in this specific situation when we believe it doesn't make sense. Can you point to anyone attacking him purely for the act of showing feelings and not for lack of empathy/overreacting?

Then imagine she was discreet, and later while reviewing pictures of the date, the guy discovers she secretly took his license plate and sent it to the friend, or the police. That would be even worse I feel.

Like I said, I prefer the honest approach. "I like our discussions online but realistically this is the first time we're meeting each other so I'm going to take these precautions." I would appreciate that level of openness, and I would probably have told my friends about who I was going out with as well, and where she lived.

Yeah, that's the debate. What I'm saying is that's a separate issue of attacking him for daring to feel feelings as a man. One is disputing the specific basis of his anger. The other is attacking him for being offended because men aren't allowed to offended. Completely different things.

Honestly, the most moderate (and rational) view of this, I think, is what Darkman and Balrog have been conveying.

1. It isn't unreasonable for someone to take precautions for their safety on a date with someone they do not know very well
2. The guy had every right to cancel the date for whatever reason he has. It doesn't need justification.
3. He shouldn't have shamed her. Just ended the date and moved on.
4. It was kind of odd/weird of her to be so obvious and tactless to snap a photo of his license plate in front of him. She should have been discreet out of courtesy.

when did he shame her?
Seriously, when someone else asked if they went on the date? His anecdote that didn't name anyone?

This is just reaching in effort to portray him as doing something wrong.

What? You haven't provided any analogous situations. Zero concrete examples, zero links, zero usernames, and you haven't even given a subject in which people have committed a double standard. All you've said is "I love when we do see reverse scenarios and see fools change their view so quickly. (Like you know @Leanaunfurled and the rest of the white knight gang would)" and "reverse scenarios happen all of the time and people like you eat shit and look ignorant." Not a single legitimate "analogous situation."
