Before diving into this matter, take a look at this screenshot:

Apparently social media is abuzz right now because it begs the question: Is going out for ice cream an appropriate date? Better yet, is it an appropriate date for those 30+ years old? Should it matter?

Plus, who shared this screenshot?

I blame the gender wars and confusion on what gold digging truly is

First, let me commend “Vance” for taking the high road and responding with a cool smiley. Personally, I would have agreed to an ice cream date. I love ice cream and it would have been the perfect FIRST date. It’s hot out, it’s sweet — no problem.

However, with social media now dictating what a “true” date should look like, some women are having second thoughts about a suitable date. The un-named woman has a right to refuse and have her own boundaries and standards, so kudos to her for being honest.
