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.

I have never seen “Sex and the City”, so can’t say anything about it. I can imagine, as you say, it was entertaining.
But, it’s disconcerting to think, that young women anticipate patterning their real lives after some TV show.
There’s a lot of things on TV that are entertaining. Heck, “Gilligan’s Island” was entertaining in some ways, but that doesn’t mean I want to be stranded on an island after a 3 hour tour. We all need a reality check.
Where would we be without self-appointed morality police to show people the error of their ways and help them straighten themselves out?
“a man she met on an app...”
There’s the common thread to all these stories. These ladies are diving into the shark tank and then whining when they get bit.
“What self-respecting individual...”
Simps aren’t self-respecting individuals.
“a man she met on an app...”
My theory, born out of experience, is that most women who choose online dating do so because it’s low risk. ‘my friends told me I should try it...’
Women who are more confident in their social skills don’t need dating apps. They have can have men at their beck and call when needed.
As Justin Timberlake once said, “girls like that don’t sleep alone.”
Sounds like an old joke - whaddya call a hooker that doesn’t put out....?
Wife?
Most liberal women I have interacted with in my life are sluts.
They confuse feminism with no self respect.
Danger Zone for sure on this one.
Aren’t they all.
On the dating Apps at least.🤔
The word is whore.🤔
Just haggling over price.
Exactly.😁
Smart man!
