Noida woman demands ₹10,000 to get ready for date: ‘waxing, manicure, nails and makeup…’
Hindustan TimesMen’s rights activist Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj has started a debate on dating norms in India with two screenshots. The screenshots show the WhatsApp chat between a man and a woman as they prepare to meet for a coffee date and – later – their exchange after the woman’s shopping spree at a Noida mall. After providing the man with her UPI ID, she says “Free dates aren't’ exciting these days.” In the next screenshot, the unnamed woman again appears to ask the man for money. When the man asks her what she spent on, she replies: “Shoes and shirts.” Asked why she needs more money now, the woman says she needs it to travel to office until she gets her salary. “The women are leveraging weak and lonely men for their expenses,” a third user said, while a fourth added: “That's not dating, that's begging.”
