  • Men should pay to check if their date is entitled, according to a divorce lawyer.

  • The Toronto-based family lawyer said on TikTok that it was the best litmus test for a partner.

  • The video caused a debate on who should pay for a date.

Men should always pay on dates, but not for reasons you might think. Paying for dates is the perfect litmus test according to a Toronto-based divorce lawyer.

The issue isn't tied to the number of dollars that we spend at the end of the date, according to a divorce lawyer.

The issue is when we end up paying for someone who has a real sense of entitlement, like this expectation that we will pay. We need to always pay.

He described the best litmus test in the caption.

The person you end up marrying may be your date. He said in the video that as a divorce lawyer, who you end up marrying is so important.

At the end of the date, you pull out your wallet and offer to pay. He said that your date just sits there, expecting you to pay, as if that is the obvious course of action.

The person in front of you has the audacity to expect a near stranger to pay for them. Imagine how someone like that would treat their partner.

For a low, low price of $20, $30, $40, you learned that the person in front of you doesn't have the courtesy to pretend to pay. You should never go on another date with them.

Lee, who has 175,800 followers on TikTok, is a family law attorney. He did not reply immediately.

Some users said that the person who asks for the date should be expected to pay.

For a first date, the woman usually has invested far more money (and time) into clothes, hair, makeup, etc than the man.

Lee stressed that men will happily pay because the payment isn't the issue.

The issue is when women see the payment as an obligation rather than a kind gesture. Entitled vs. appreciative. He wrote that no one owes anyone anything.

For the record, this isn't gender specific, any man or woman who feels entitled in any way towards the other is a walking red flag.
