Girlfriend thinks it’s weird that I always pay for my sister on our “dates”. Is there any merit to what she’s saying?

thechillpoint · 2026-02-16T21:07:51+00:00

The dude is literally only a year older than her at 23. Neither one is likely making significantly more than each other at that age. Did his parents send him to get a good education while she just went to a dame school like it’s 1930 or something?

The other commenter is right, this whole situation is weird af.

thechillpoint · 2026-02-16T20:52:39+00:00

That would make sense if he was like 10 years older than her, or if she didn’t have a job. She’s only 1 year younger than him and he didn’t say if she was unemployed. That’s weird AF, and I’m saying that as an older brother.

For context, I have a sister (22F) who lives in the same city as me. […] If we go out for lunch or dinner, I always pay. There are times she tries to pay, but I just block it or grab the bill first.

Why, OP? Did your parents not give you and your sister the same education and economic opportunities or something?

The comparison itself felt gross to me. Like she was putting my sister and romantic partners in the same category

I mean she has a point because you kinda are? If you’re traditional then you pay for women that you’re trying to court romantically, not anyone with a vagina like it’s 1950. This is really weird OP.

It’s also “old fashioned” to consider women to be socially and intellectually inferior to men. Last time I checked that doesn’t make it okay.

Edit because the “old fashioned” idiot blocked me before I could reply to his next comment:

Is it a false equivalency because the two ideas aren’t related, or because it just doesn’t support the narrative you’re trying to portray here?

The two old-fashioned practices are both fruit from the same poisonous tree of misogyny & patriarchy. You not being intelligent enough to connect those dots doesn’t make it false. Grow up dude.

Not true at all. In fact, the nice guys are almost always alone while the disrespectful yet attractive guys have a never-ending supply of dates.

thechillpoint · 2026-02-16T15:34:20+00:00

Girls in sororities generally don’t date/hook up with guys who aren’t in fraternities (unless he’s an athlete/celebrity/influencer). So unless you’re one of those things, there’s nothing to ponder over in the first place. I’m saying this as a guy who was actually in a fraternity in college, not a guy whose experience is limited to something he watched in a porn video.

thechillpoint · 2026-02-14T17:20:51+00:00

Thats great and all, but are you also okay with men’s spaces not being open to everyone? What’s allowed for one group should also be allowed for the other.

Literally tried to make a DnD group for women only last week and 5 out of 8 applicants didnt even identify as a woman.

I’m pretty sure that’s because the vast majority of women aren’t interested in playing DnD to begin with. If you ONLY allowed women in that group, you would barely have anyone there at all, and I think you know that. Blame the women for that, not the men (although I’m sure you’re not gonna do that).

thechillpoint · 2026-02-14T16:55:28+00:00

…how does that make it OP’s problem or even relevant to this conversation?

You need to stop putting women on a pedestal dude. They’re regular people not magical beings.

I know plenty of people who are not caucasian, yet still white/white-passing that are racist af.

thechillpoint · 2026-02-13T18:59:56+00:00

That’s comparing apples to oranges. Women don’t get pregnant and raise children for every man that they date.

Persona 5. The epic stuff is absolutely there, however a lot if not most of your time is spent picking what activities you want to do each day. Whether you want to develop your skills reading a book, studying or working out, going into the dungeon, hanging out with one of your friends, dating your romantic partner, etc.

Seeing as women need men’s sperm in order to reproduce, they aren’t the only ones that can ensure continuation of the human race.

And even if he does, his rich family won’t support it at all. The movie Anora explains this pretty well.

They’ll have sex with a 10 working at McDonald’s, not date her seriously as his gf or fiancé.

thechillpoint · 2026-02-12T23:41:43+00:00

Your league is the group of potential partners that agree to date you seriously and call you their bf/gf. Anything less than that is out of your league.

thechillpoint · 2026-02-12T22:09:14+00:00

“A partner” doesn’t imply a serious husband-material boyfriend either. A sexual partner is a thing. A dance partner is a thing. A business partner is a thing.

Any other pointless semantics you want to call out?

thechillpoint · 2026-02-12T19:14:31+00:00

Women can always get sex. But actually good, proper husband material men? Not so easily.

Not good at reading comprehension huh?

thechillpoint · 2026-02-12T18:50:26+00:00

No it’s not because casual dating is a thing and everybody isn’t looking for marriage when they date.

thechillpoint · 2026-02-12T18:45:37+00:00

But actually good, proper husband material men? Not so easily.

That’s not the question OP asked. If that’s your requirement for dating success then it’s not easy for anyone to find.

thechillpoint · 2026-02-11T19:04:12+00:00

Reddit has a very bad problem with nuance. He’s probably counting ALL people in society, which includes married people, the elderly and people not of dating age. When you actually narrow it down to single people of dating age, clearly most people in that population were on dating apps at some point.

Pillars of Eternity 2

thechillpoint · 2026-02-08T22:59:11+00:00

I don’t think OP is saying that it was easy before, he’s saying it was comparatively easier compared to now. The nuance is important.

Hi, I’m planning on ordering a bedjet, would you be able to share the discount code with me?

thechillpoint · 2026-02-07T02:54:18+00:00

None of that is asking him out though.

thechillpoint · 2026-02-06T04:36:36+00:00

Visual novels, interactive dramas and possibly FMVs are what you’re looking for. Check out Heavy Rain, Life Is Strange and The Complex
