What good etiquette do people skip when it comes to summer dating? Woman's hot take viral
When getting ready for a date, those who make an effort pay attention to details like wearing the right outfit, dabbing on the right perfume and picking out a restaurant with a lovely ambience to name a few. Now whether it's because we don't pay attention to the next part or think it won't be a big deal, this one thing some people do when dating in the summer can be an almost red flag, something this woman explains in the following video. And she said it because someone had to say it, and we thank her for it.
What summer dating etiquette did the woman talk about?
In the clip shared on Instagram by a page called Everything's Fine, user @laurenhopekrass most likely returning from a date that went bust, looks at the camera to spell the absolute truth about dating in hot weather, something we here in India will appreciate. "Okay, I have a mean hot take," she starts.
"If it's summertime and I did hair makeup and I took an Uber to make sure I'm all fresh-faced and you show up drenched in sweat, I don't think that's nice." And what she says makes absolute sense because that's one major part of the appearance we somehow... miss. Sure, the weather's to blame. But where's that little bit of extra effort to make sure you look your best when seeing someone for the first time? For comparison, imagine showing up for an important interview all sweaty and breathless. Would you hire yourself? Believe it or not, the rate at which our biases kick in during first-time meetings, no one stands a chance.
She reeled it home with this: "I think good social etiquette for wanting to impress your date, you shouldn't show up all sweaty. I said it!"
If there was ever a relatable video on dating, this one's on the top of the list. Imagine going through all that effort only to show up covered in sweat. The "ick" is strong here, guys. And before you rush to the comments section to say otherwise, know this: you're kidding yourself. Besides, the video was a light-hearted and relatable take on what some of us have to deal with when stepping out for a romantic first date. So, take note: don't show up sweating head-to-toe for a date. Take a minute to cool down if you have to.
