However, a woman's list of one specific request on a first date on social media has ignited a heated debate.

Who should cover the cost of the first date is one of the age-old dating dilemmas.

While some may like to divide it equally, others with more conventional views might think the male ought to pay the bill.

And when she addressed thedesireabletruth in a TikTok video while out with a friend, that's exactly what this young lady made clear.

She responded somewhat sharply when asked what she would expect a man to drop on their first date.

To the obvious amazement of both her and her friend, the woman stated that she would expect a man to spend $200 on a first date.

She clarified that the reason for this was the expense of all the cosmetics she would need to wear out.

“I feel like if I’m going to get ready and I’m going to use all my products to come out with you, I need like a minimum of $200", she said.

What 'the man gets in return' was the difficult question that the interviewer asked next.

Without pausing, she answered: "My presence."

She continued by providing the price of her skincare goods as support, stating that her $400 moisturizing cream, $300 eye cream, and an additional $300 serum, did not include makeup.

People's opinions of the interview were undoubtedly varied.

One sided with her, writing: “If he can’t invest in a date then he doesn’t have the capability in investing in a possible relationship, family with dependants."

Another said: "Keep up the standards. The right one will come along."

While a second commented: "He's dating you....not the product you use."

It was mentioned by another person that getting to know the other person is the most crucial aspect.

They wrote: "My aim is to get to know if I’m compatible with a person. We could go to McDonald’s for all I care."

At the end of the day, everything relies on your goals, and seeking a wealthy husband is undoubtedly one approach to take.
