Anwar White breaks down what men's payment methods on dates reveal about them. A man pushing 50/50 splits actually expects 80/20 domestic labor. Your date's credit card tells a story: Amex signals bougie, Chase Sapphire Reserve means wealth, Capital One Venture X sits in between, while Wells Fargo or Credit One reads as a red flag.
Chapters
Girl, How a guy pays for a date will tell you everything you need to know about him. Now, if a guy wants to go 5050 with you on a date, please understand that as a woman, that actually means 80 20, because there's invisible labor that has to be done from a woman's perspective in a relationship, unfortunately. So it's really 80 20. This man is looking for a mother, not necessarily a partner, girlfriend or wife. If a man is paying with cat cash on a date, please understand that he's one of two things. He's either a boomer, generationally speaking, or he might be doing some illegal activities. So if that's your tea girl, go ahead and do your thing. Now, some of the top credit cards that I see when a guy is paying for, and this is what I call my double hair tuck credit cards where when they pay for it, sometimes you might get a little nervous. Girl. Amex Platinum and Gold. Gold over platinum, because platinum is really more about luxury travel, not necessarily about dining also. But Amex is kind of bougie. If you are looking for someone who has money but is not as bougie and well researched and disciplined, you're looking for someone who's paying with a Capital One Venture X or a Chase Sapphire Reserve or Preferred. Now, for some of the guys that are still kind of in their middle, middle class building, you're looking for a Chase Freedom, you're looking for a Capital One Venture no X. And then for the guys that you want to completely, completely, completely like.
If he has a Wells Fargo, please understand that man has no integrity. Wells Fargo is shady and racist. If he has a quicksilver or a Credit one credit card, girl, put your bun up, get your pocketbook, leave the date immediately. He's probably going to ask you for gas money. Lastly, if he uses a business credit card.
This is a transaction. He's writing it off, girl. And men that look at women transactionally are also going to be expecting one thing and you know what that is. Now let me know in the comments, has this been your experience or if you have any other experiences as it relates to how men pay for a date?
