Twitter Aghast As Viral Text Exchange Shows Woman Rejecting Man After He Proposes An Ice Cream Date
The latest chapter in what is seemingly becoming a recurring trend of people rejecting their date partners for absurd reasons hit Twitter yesterday evening when the user @SPBPHD shared a screenshot of a text exchange in which a woman rejects a potential date after he proposes they go get ice cream.
The screenshot shows "Vance" apparently moving a conversation from a dating app to a phone and proposing that he and his unnamed date get ice cream on account of the hot weather.
The date swiftly rejects the proposal, claiming she's a "26-year-old woman" who doesn't "do" ice cream dates because they feel like the "bare minimum." She then added further communication would be a waste of "both their time" and signs off "best wishes."
The tweet appeared to gobsmack @SPBPHD, who wrote, "um, wow…im twice the age of this 26 year old woman and I would love a dude to invite me on an ice cream date." Many commenters agreed, opining that an ice cream date is a perfectly reasonable first date because, even if you and your partner don't click, you still get ice cream.
The story is yet another example of a woman going viral for breaking off a date for perceivably wild reasons, following a woman who ditched her date because he refused to pay for cheese on his burger and another who refused to pay any portion of the canceled-reservation fee for the date she slept through.

Tbh, I think dating apps have kind of done this thing to people where it gives them a completely false impression that they have so many other options that they can feel free to just rule people out for the most trivial of things.It makes people feel like they can just ditch quickly because they have so many other options they don't need to settle for anything, which is why we end up seeing these stories where someone ditches a date for something like getting ice-cream or not paying to put cheese on their burger. Happens both ways, but I think especially for women because most women's experiences on dating apps is having a seemingly endless list of guys who want to date them, so it seems more urgent to narrow the list down as quickly as possible, even on totally inane nonsense.
