More Gen Z men are insisting on paying for dates but one is getting ridiculed for whipping out his mothers credit card: May this love never find me
That’s definitely a mama’s boy.Despite what you’d expect, studies have shown that Gen Z men are more than happy to pick up the tab for the women they’re on a date with.However, things got a bit sticky for this traumatized woman whose date whipped out his mother’s credit card when the bill came at the end of their night.Sarli, a TikTok user who goes by @sarliunlimited, shared a — now viral — video, with over 500,000 views explaining her experience with probably one of the biggest walking red flags.

The people in the comment section of this video had a field day.“I genuinely would get up and walk away,” one commenter wrote.“May this love never find me,” said another person.
“Just ask why he still has to rely on mommy,” a snarky commenter shared.Sadly, this isn’t anything new — because a few other women in the comments shared that they experienced this too.“THIS HAPPENED TO ME TOO,” one commenter wrote.“WAS YOU ON A DATE WITH MY EX?” someone else commented.
“I just found out my 1st boyfriend’s mom still manages his bank account.we’re 28 years old,” divulged another commenter.
It’s fair to say that dating can be expensive — especially in this economy — bu...
