A prominent Colombian figure sparked controversy by sharing his perspective on why he thinks men should always be the ones to pay the bill on a date. The story of the user Canela Bayona went viral on TikTok and generated divided opinions among the users of the platform.
“In an ideal world, where men and women earn and spend the same, I would go 50/50. But since it’s not like that, I’m going to explain why I don’t do it,” the content creator began, whose video exceeded 360,000 views in a matter of hours.
For her, it should be considered that women’s personal hygiene products are much more expensive and they spend more annually.
“Only in menstrual management products, women spend around 210,000 pesos annually. Colombians spend 300,000 pesos quarterly on health and beauty products. What does this mean? Which is 1,200,000 a year. Personal hygiene products like skin creams, razors, and deodorant are 13% more expensive for women,” she explained.
He also pointed out that “a women’s shirt exceeds 40% of the price of a men’s shirt.” According to the tiktoker, this figure is real as it has been confirmed by the Fashion Institute of Technology of the United States.
Wage gap
His explanation does not end there, as he indicated that, in addition to the salary gap that exists between men and women, they must dedicate themselves to the work of being a housewife.
“According to several studies, when a woman gets married she loses 7.3 hours of her life, that is, she gets another job. And when a man gets married, he gets 3.9 free hours out of his day,” he continued.
“Above all, men can save 2,210,000 a year more than us. That without adding the monthly domestic work of a married woman, which would already be about 14 million more. But when we go out, you want to go 50/50? In an ideal world, I would earn more money because I spend more money, but since it is not that ideal world, you pay the bill, see you later, ”she added.
His story, as expected, generated divided opinions among users. While some showed their support for him, others criticized his argument, assuring that it “does not make sense.”
“This explanation seems absurd to me, each person has their expenses, but the one who invites pays that easily”; “If I always pay 50/50, I earn well and well, uh-huh, I don’t need a Man to pay me for my things”; “I find it interesting and I support the concept of equal pay, but not on a first date either, I am not going to justify that he did not contribute anything because I have to buy my personal products, that is not the responsibility of that person, nothing is free in this life and I prefer to give my 50% as long as I have peace of mind and peace of mind that they want to ask me for something in exchange for what they spend on me”; “What I say is if a man does not have to pay for an invitation, then do not invite. Make another plan”; “Totally understandable menstrual products, the other are choices such as creams, clothes, where you work, have children, etc,” the people wrote.
Who should pay for the first date?
If you have in mind to invite someone on a first date, remember that the protocol states that whoever invites is the one who must pay, so choose a plan and a place that you can afford without problem for both parties. Although there is the possibility of paying in half.
Could an appointment be paid in half?
To avoid any kind of discussion or debate, the most sensible thing to do would be to divide the costs on a date, as long as there is prior agreement. Remember that speaking is how you understand people.
