‘It feels too equal’: Singapore woman says 50/50 dating made her less attracted to man after 2 dates
She said she might simply prefer men who take more initiative at the start of a relationship, including planning dates and offering to pay. This article ( ‘It feels too equal’: Singapore woman says 50/50 dating made her less attracted to man after 2 dates ) first appeared on The Independent Singapore News .
A Singaporean woman recently sparked controversy on Reddit after expressing that her lack of romantic attraction to a man she had gone on two dates with was due to their 50/50 financial arrangement. The woman, in her 20s, posted in the r/sgdatingscene subreddit on August 10, stating that the man initially seemed like a good option but she found the emotional dynamic "too equal" after the two dates.
They had both contributed equally to the meal expenses, which she felt made the relationship feel more platonic. The woman questioned whether it was unreasonable to not want a financially equal dating dynamic and how to communicate this preference without appearing entitled. Commenters largely disagreed with her viewpoint, suggesting she was overthinking the situation and being too superficial.
