Sara was fed up. The New York City social worker, who declined to give her last name, had had countless dates cancel on her at the last minute. So, when a man she met on an app recently pulled out of their date an hour beforehand, she agreed to reschedule with one caveat: He would Venmo her a $50 deposit.
“I’m just done with my time and energy being wasted,” Sara told The Post. “In almost every other scenario, when someone books a time of their day dedicated to you, they have a no-show policy or security deposit.”
The man agreed to the terms and sent her the money. They met up for a drink on a Monday night date in Hell’s Kitchen, and he was fully engaged the entire time, paying for their cocktails and offering to buy them food to share.
Sara’s female friends cheered her brazen move, while male friends told her it was “nuts.” Still, she has no regrets. “I think it makes sense,” she said of the arrangement.

“For me it’s a way to just be like, ‘You’re a d-bag, here’s the monetary value of my time you wasted,'” Martha Duke, 38, told The Post.
Duke said she’s sent around six Venmo requests — ranging from $1,500 to $3,000, depending on their financial situation — over the years to different men she’s dated. She listed infidelity, secret marriages and hiding having multiple sexual partners from her as some of the reasons for the charges.
Putting a monetary value on caddish conduct helps men to better understand the error of their ways, Duke said, adding that she puts the phrase “the d-bag tax” in all her Venmo requests.

Bitches be trippin’.
Essentially she’s a prostitute now...
She dated a bunch of sociopaths—I wonder what that says about her....
;-)
and she wonders why men don’t show up... who is the d-bag now, eh?
Paying a woman to go on a “date”.
there used to be a word for that.
if I could only remember what it is.
sweet can we charge them a cow tax, when they are 100 pounds heavier than their pictures?
Does sound like a semi-legal way to be a prostitute.
“Yes, I will go on a “date” with you, but I require $$$ up front if you want me to entertain you.”
Sorry Sara, the $50 thing isn’t going to solve your problem with men.
Maybe she'd do better calling it the side-action tax
And like, now everybody knows that it is indeed MONETARY. She probably complains about a $200.00 bottle of wine her date pays for. And these women wonder why the end up alone with their cats at age 30.
So, Pretty soon men will be suing women who lure them I to marriage with false personalities, and then unload the kraken on the men after they get the ring I guess?
“countless dates” cancelled on her. Gee I wonder why.
She she rides the cock carousel until her late 30s, and now blackmails men she has dirt on because they were married etc? Good fun until she does that to the wrong guy.
No, that would be “judgmental” and “mansplaining”.
Or some woke BS like that...
“He would Venmo her a $50 deposit. “
What self-respecting individual would take a date with someone who asks for a “deposit”?
That is a red flag so huge is hits you over the head as says not only shouldn’t you date this person, block them and never ever communicate with them ever again.
These people are perpetual victims, and even though they see ordinary dates as predators, they themselves are nothing but trouble. There is absolutely nothing good to come out of attempting to be social with them. They are not normal. They are damaged and angry.
She’ll wind up raped and found in a dumpster.
You see that in the news and wonder how such things could ever happen… and then you see things like this.
I have no idea who would pay some crazy bitch for a date deposit.
I’d tell her to kick rocks.
