His hot date ended with a kiss — but the poor guy still got dissed.
A cluster of chuckling chowderheads virally heckled an unidentified man after he escorted his lady-love interest to her front door following a night on the town, but was not invited inside her home for sex.
The snickering strangers, men who secretly filmed the chaste encounter from a distance, teased the dater for being “$700 in the hole” after assumingly treating the woman to a pricy outing and receiving nothing more than an innocent smooch in return.
Footage of the less-than-risqué rendezvous raked in over 4 million views online, and triggered a virtual divide, prompting social media users to defend the unknown couple for enjoying a perfectly wholesome evening despite societal expectations that every date ends with hot-and-heavy hanky-panky.
“Am I slow, or was this a normal interaction?” posed a perplexed X user beneath the video, subtly shaming the group for filming and making fun of the interplay.
“Dude saw her punch it in [her house code], started to walk off, she’s pulled him in and gave him a kiss goodnight. The f- -k are they saying?” wrote an equally confused commenter.
“Guys will make fun of a guy for just being a gentleman but praise guys like Diddy for having infinite rosters,” added another.
“They’re making fun of him for not forcing his way in?” wondered a separate spectator.
“The men laughing at her are the real losers,” wrote a scolder.
“He walked her home because of people like these clowns,” echoed another critic.
“This might be the worst generation of men ever,” another groaned.
“The joke isn’t on him,” a ticked tweeter insisted, “the joke is on a culture that views basic safety and decency as a transaction.”
It’s the unfortunate reality of the current dating scene — especially in NYC, ranked both the “worst” city for dating and the place where singles are most likely to die alone.
From cheapskates who request repayment from would-be paramours who leave them sexually unsatisfied, to playboy-fatigued women who routinely charge pigheaded men a $3,000 “douche bag tax” for behaving badly on dates, singletons of the Big Apple and beyond seem to be trapped in an endless cycle of loveless chaos.
Still, all hope is not lost.
While some wannabe sweeties are tapping their mothers for help landing a kind, cute, marriage-material mate, others, like Elliot, a NYC attorney, are shelling out over $200,000 to find true love.
And, jeers from jerky naysayers aside, the hefty investment in romance is money well spent — even if every date doesn’t afford the guy a roll in the hay.
