The humor in the sort of “green text” urban legend meme is that it is at least pseudo plausible, it is relatable, and it usually is entirely a fantasy, or even if real evokes fantasy in the reader. So then.... who sits around day dreaming about being rejected on a date just so that they can spite the woman... and who relates to the idea that they’d go out to dinner and have the person with them simultaneously not be interested in them while also expecting them to pay for their meal? I see a sort of sad social commentary here that reflects feelings of powerlessness and resentment. The real kicker is that they are directed at a hypothetical situation. There’s a certain adolescent petulance to the idea that to be assertive one must be tactkess. The punchline is quite literally spite. Not knocking the meme. Just a thought I had while reading it.

Nail on the head. Also these sort of things usually seem to have misogynistic undertones where the hypothetical woman is always always cast as the role of the antagonist to the OP, and thus he must get revenge on her. Memes like these will even go so far as to display neurotic, abusive, or deranged behaviors as normal or typical, just as a chance for a good gotcha with general sympathies on their side. Idk they always leave a bad taste in my mouth

I will 100% of always pay for the first 2-3 dates. If by then she hasn't at least offered to split the bill, she's not the one

I'll always remember me and my best friend, who is Male (I'm a female) went out to dinner together. So just objectively it could have looked like a date. And I ordered like my 4th drink and as I did so he just stops the waitress and was like "we're on separate Bills". Her face was so priceless. She must have thought it was the cheapest date move to make, and I laughed so hard once she walked away. Obviously I was planning on paying ym own bill. But in a weird objective way it made him look bad and it was a ligh hearted moment to me

You invite, you pay, unless agreed upon otherwise. Being a spiteful, petty baby when things don't go your way is probably one of the reasons why nobody wants to date you.
