Melbourne singleton Maddy Carty has doubled down on her controversial take that men should have to pay a first date deposit to put a stop to last minute cancellations on dating apps.
'If someone cancels a date within 24 hours, you should be able to charge a cancellation fee,' the 30-year-old said in a recent episode of her Mads World podcast.
However, the proposal to pre-charge men $100 for a promised date resulted in swift backlash, with dozens of irate gents slamming the TikToker for her take on modern dating.

Gre up in a small town. My wife said she had a crush on me in 2nd grade and wrote about me in her diary... She’s 6 months older than me so I tell people I married a cougar who was stalking me !!! 52 years later still going strong. Life is good. Saw your profile..go DAWGS!!
DANGER WILL ROBINSON! DANGER WILL ROBINSON!
I’m in agreement.
Women that wear a dump truck load of beauty products and smell like they were dipped in a tank of perfume are immediate turnoffs. So are high dollar babes that expect everything you do while out to cost an arm and a leg.
That was my standard back before getting married and I wound up with a girl that’s been with me for over 50 years.
I met her by accident and all dates were in person. This idea of internet match making and dating is just dumb, as you do not get to know the real person.
1st date, the gym.
I was talking 45 minutes of poetry, including oral presentation!
What did YOU think I meant?
lol
My friend has a trophy wife, but it wasn’t first-place.
Rings on all fingers = slut
Ah! Participation Trophy. Yeah, half the town got one for that particular bicycle ride.
The woman is a whore but won’t admit it.
IMHO...that is what we’re all meant to do. This idea that we all get higher education, then ‘get experience’, then ‘settle down’ in your late 20’s, is a bad model and doesn’t align biologically - or mentally/emotionally respective to pair bonding.
Before dating apps, people would usually know each other first, already have an attraction, due to various known qualities, before going on a date - blind-dates were more rare. Dating apps have turned that on its head. Now we have a game where the top 10% of men are sought after by 90% of the women (who all think they’re ‘a 10’). The men being required to be 6+ft tall, 6-pack abs, 6-figure salary. Women are expecting a $200 first date at some fine restaurant, after lying on their profile and using ‘filters’ to make themselves look more appealing - who are complete strangers, often just looking for a free meal.
Neither side ends up happy. If a woman finds a ‘hit’ on a first date, then what? The guy is probably a 10% Chad. He probably wants sex. If he doesn’t get it he’ll just move on to another one waiting in line. If she gives it he doesn’t respect her....and moves on to the next in line. This also leaves 90% of men never getting a date.
Most men are left thinking that women have insane expectations and walk away. Most women are left thinking ‘men are trash’....when the problem is that the men they are dating are trash.
I’d argue its just made it harder for a good man and a good woman to meet, the opposite of what you might expect. Dating apps have ruined dating.
Many of today’s women have an incredibly over inflated perception of their value.
50 years of feminism has pretty much killed the notion that women are special because they are women. They have turned themselves into meat on the hoof. Based on what I see on the internet, a lot of women perceive their value as only being a slab of beef for men to have sex with. And when that’s what they see themselves as that’s what they become
My husband calls me his ‘Participation Trophy Wife’. 🍷
They think they're all "10s" but the webisphere correctly names them 49ers (not to be confused with miners during the California Gold Rush in 1849 or the San Francisco NFL team). They're "4s" who think they're a "9".
“Good point. I don’t want to discover the person in question has a Wankel Engine.”
Lol!
“Can’t imagine being so desperate I’d need to go on an online dating site to find someone.”
There are so many people around now that online dating sites do give you the opportunity to meet people you would not normally meet day to day. That said, I met the love of my life when she walked into a crowded restaurant. I was just minding my own business…
Shouldn’t the girl pay a deposit? What if SHE cancels on short notice or doesn’t show up?
fake t*ts as well... im my book, that is def “courtship fraud”!!
MGTOW
There ARE Unicorns out there.
It took me 50 years to find one.
