Worst Date Ever

So I went out on a date with a guy and a few red flags came up immediately. He didn't open the door for the restaurant for me or pull out my chair but I guess he wasn't taught manners. Then he proceeds to explain how the #metoo movement is completely fake and how white men are really the victims in society. He just kept on talking and talking. At least at the end of the date he paid but other than that he was the worst. Then he texts me the next day thinking he's going to get a second date. I said maybe 5 words the entire night. He kept on cutting me off again and again. Is it just me or is it harder and harder to meet nice guys.

You lost me at the start with that stuff about pulling out your chair for you. The year is 2019. You're an adult, and you can pull out your own chair.
The other shit about white men being victims and whining about #MeToo, well ok, that stuff is understandably a dealbreaker.
But your "harder and harder to meet nice guys" trolling is what sealed the deal on a thumbs down from me.

If He Had

Pulled the chair out and we were sitting at a booth, I would have freaked...In seriousness, holding open doors and pulling out chairs for folks wouldn't necessarily be red flags for me. Folks can usually do that for themselves. On the otherhand, mansplaining that #metoo is fake would have led me to end the date right there and then.

You do realize how that entire post is contradictory of itself?

You want the door opened, chair pulled out and dinner paid: all of those "old world" standards that current "Me Too" feminists don't tolerate?

Get your self-entitled head out of your ass. There are nice people out there, I just think you need to sort out your values first!

Here it is, the same old misandrist garbage from the same woman.
How long has it been since you got one on here-at least a month?

Hmmm

I totally understand not opening a door or pulling out a chair. We’re all equals and thankfully our arms aren’t broken! Women have been opening doors and taking command of furnishings for a while now. The excessive complaining, self victimization, and not engaging in conversation by asking you about yourself does sound like a disappointing and lonely experience. Finding connection is hard and challenging. I’m curious how our friend would take your feedback if you were able to hold up a mirror for him. Perhaps a willing student receptive to your feedback and better dinner companionship.

Expecting a guy to open doors for you, and pull your seat out for you, is a little much.

I open doors for the women i date, but if i notice they seem to expect it, i'll just say something like "ladies first" and put them on door duty on the way out of the restaraunt. And i open doors for any woman, child, or senior. Its not a dating thing.

And pulling a chair out for a woman? you seem to be ignorant to the modern feminist movement. A lot of women tend to get offended by old school dating practices like that. They see it as the man thinking the woman is weak and not capable of handling situations themselves. I speak from experience.

When i was a kid, my dad taught me that if a man is walking down the street with a woman, child, or senior, the man always walks on the side closest to traffic, so that, in the highly unlikely event that a car should come off the road, the man has time to protect whoever hes walking with, and takes the brunt of any possible impact. Very unlikely scenario i know. I even thought it was unlikely as a child when my dad was telling me, but it made sense.

In my early 20's i dated a girl who turned out to be an uber feminist. After a couple dates she noticed that i always went out of my way to be on the traffic side of the sidewalk. She asked why, so i explained, and she actually got mad. She said it was stupid, cars never come off the road, and even if one did, did i think she was too
stupid to get out of the way?

I have been on dates with 2 women since then who noticed me doing the same thing. They asked why, i explained, and at first they said it was a nice gesture. I explained my first experience, and once they heard about the first girls responce, they changed their tune, agreed with her, and refused to let me walk on that side of the sidewalk.

Ill agree, if you arnt exagerrating, that his stance on the metoo movement is dumb if he said its completely fake.

Again, if you arnt exagerrating, ill agree that his stance about white men being victims in society is ill informed.

But, "at least at the end of the date, he paid" kind of ruins any legitimacy your complaints had.

Sounds like you dodged a bullet (again, so long as youre not exagerrating). But so have the guys that dont know you.

You might want to rethink your stance.. Nice guys who kniw you probably think "where are the good women?"

Oh no, the floodgates are about to open

Now you’ve done it. Prepare to hear from very misogynist who reads this forum. All I have to say about your post is that in the modern dating life, everyone is confused about what is “supposed” to be done. Some women take offence at chivalry. Some women expect it. Some want to pay their own way no matter what, some don’t, and some expect the guy to pay for everything. I understand why many guys are confused. In future I’d suggest that you make it clear from the outset what you’re expecting. Btw, I’m a single hetero woman, and I’m a feminist who also appreciates being female and I enjoy some chivalry once in a while. I believe that the person who asks for the date should pay, unless both parties discuss alternate arrangements in advance.

What made him seem dateable in the first place?

You should

Have opened the door for him, pulled out his chair and paid for the date. But then again, even though we preach equality women still expect this display of submission, like you are some kind of queen.
