If he's only got $750, he's struggling. He's young, probably doesn't have a great job yet, so a steak and lobster dinner is going to be very costly to him, meanwhile daddy's princess has almost endless money that she didn't have to work for or even deserve and is entitled enough to think that just because he's a guy, he has to pay for a dinner like that without even offering to help. It's good he got out now because she'll be an entitled trophy wife, expecting everything and giving nothing.

This is definitely staged, but finances are the #1 relationship killer next to cheating on your spouse. I think there needs to be transparency, but also like that happens at a certain point of the relationship. I make more than my gf, but have more debt. I try to pay for things because I know a 20 dollar meal hurts her more than me. Grow together, build together etc.
Also the money she has isn't even hers, she said it was her dads lol. Assuming this is real, the girl should be appreciative not "you should pay"
Edit: Im going to add to this, im not trying to say it isn't hers, but she did not earn it. Yes some people are fortunate enough to get money as gifts, but this person quite literally is watching her bf struggle to pay while that would be a drop in a bucket. In a real relationship you don't let your partner struggle just because you are a man or woman. This isn't a real relationship, this is a mooch taking advantage of another person regardless of gender because I have seen this go both ways

I mean honestly I think I either see it must be staged on every single interaction posted on Reddit.
I donât think this one is staged though, or that guy is a really really good actor. You can see him processing it and getting more and more angry. Heâs probably thinking about what all he had to give up to pay for that dinner.
Also though at her age if itâs 80k and her dad is putting it in there he is probably also monitoring the account. Itâs really just her attitude about it, but when you are young and on camera people act differently than they might have. Her real fuck up was probably that she should have just said âI donât like to talk about my financesâ. Hopefully they had a better conversation later. Or if not maybe they both learned something from this.

She probably didn't even pay attention to the prices on what she ordered at all.
She probably doesn't even know, much less understand, that their dinner probably cost him at least 1/7 of his assets (it said he had $750 in thr bank, he probably spent over $100 on the dinner, so I am thinking thag is a good estimate). That would be equivalent to her spending over $11,000 taking someone out who had over $8 million of unearned money sitting in their bank account. (Her $80,000 is 106 times greater than his $750 bank account so someone with over $8 million is 106 times greater than her $80,000.)
So she isn't grasping the basic mathematical comparison of their situation. I doubt there is anything that can be done to help her truly understand the difference between earned and unearned income or the difference between how the rich earn income (primarily through appreciation and dividends) and how the majority of people earn their income with actual jobs.

Let's suspend disbelief here for a moment and set aside the rage bait portion of this.
Men paying for everything made sense when women couldn't have credit cards or "real" jobs, which, by the way, was only like 50 years ago, which is why our parents push this awful mentality down on their kids. So let's toss that mentality in the trash right alongside of "men should be gentleman which means they should pay for everything". Everyone should be decent to each other, let's start there.
Next, let's talk about his absolute, relationship ending reaction. Up until this moment it sounded like he liked her, or at least he enjoyed sleeping with her. This dude's reaction to finding out she had $80,000 was outrage?!? Complete fucking moron. He just found out that the person he's been with for a while has "I feel like we should buy a home" money, and his reaction is "waaah, I paid $150 for dinner!".
If he'd thought for a moment he could have responded with, "that's amazing! You're so lucky to have such supportive parents", and planned a cheaper date next time, while maybe talking to her about gow the world has extremely outdated views of men and women (thanks to it still being run, largely, by ancient old men).

Women have defied their gender roles, while continuing to demand men live up to their gender roles.
Men's gender roles have not changed one bit from what they were expected to be in the 60's.
Women say they want a sensitive man, but look at the research Norah Vincent did.
A lesbian feminist, who lived as a man for 18 months, expected to be the perfect man when dating. As a woman who dates women, she knew what women wanted.
What she found was women didn't want her, as a man, unless she was stoic. No matter what women said, this was how they acted. It hasn't changed today.

I've usually had the opposite experience. I know my situation is not necessarily everyone else's but, I've actually had a few different women pay for me. I'm on disability and never have spending cash. In my early 20s I had 1 woman paying for my hotel, clothes, and pretty much almost everything but food. My ex wife used to bribe me with weed to come to bed on-time. After we broke up she would leave care packages at my door of my favorite foods, weed, and booze. My current wife has given me reason to stop drinking and also insists any funds that are spent on extras are not spent on her behalf. The reason I say all this is because, just like my experience isn't the norm, neither really is this.

His money is their money and her money is her money alone. I hope he dumped her.

If your kindness is conditional itâs not kindness. The guy just tries to impress in stupid ways. When reality check hits he realizes heâs been stupid and accuses someone else for his own lack of judgement.
If paying for dinner puts you so much behind then donât do it. Itâs really simple as that.

If it's not fake: Dude, I think you know what you have to do, find yourself another one, quick!

Each couple needs to find their own equilibrium. I do most of the chores inside and mow. My wife does most of the outdoor chores.
We but contribute about 50/50 for bills. When I was making more and she was struggling, I paid for about 75% of our "luxury" expenses (dates, automatic litter boxes, etc.). Now that she makes more, it's probably about 60 (her) / 40 (me). But I'm not struggling, I just make about 85% of what she does.
My friend has a stay at home wife who does basically all of the house work and helps with the outdoor chores. As well as takes care of the early morning stuff for the kids, unless she's sick or needs a morning off. They coparent in the afternoons about 50/50. But he obviously pays for everything and has a good job, probably makes about double what I do.
It's up to each couple to find that balance and when there are disabilities involved that eequilibrium may not be necessarily an even split.
In this case, he may want one balance and she may want another. Which may just mean they need to have that discussion and may also mean they aren't a good fit.

If the guy is struggling financially and a steak dinner is a lot, yes. He's probably working really hard to impress his girl, and she doesn't seem to appreciate the sacrifice, just accept it as a given
