Viral List of Places Women Refuse to Go on First Date Sparks Massive Debate
So, there's this wild list making rounds on X (yup, the one we used to call Twitter) that's got everyone talking. If you've been under a rock for the past few days, an anonymous group of women collectively jotted down places they believe are absolutely unsuitable for first dates. And let me tell you, the list has sparked the most massive debate!
Here's a quick rundown:
1. Cheesecake Factory (Really? Their cheesecake selection alone is date-worthy!)
2. Applebee's (Maybe it's the two-for-one deal?)
3. Chili's (But those Baby Back Ribs though...)
4. Chipotle (Burrito bae denied.)
5. Olive Garden (Endless breadsticks = endless love?)
6. The Movies (Guess Netflix and chill is out too.)
7. Your House (Might be a bit too soon, TBH.)
8. Any Fast Food Chain (Drive-thru romance isn't for everyone.)
9. Buffalo Wild Wings (Wings, beer, sports... what's not to love?)
... [and it goes on till] ... 28. Sports Events (Guess no scoring on date one.)
This isn't just your average viral post. Days have gone by and high profile names are weighing in including some of the places that have been ruled out as acceptable first date spots.
Buffalo Wild Wings felt some type of way, playfully saying, "🚩 if she doesn’t like wings, beer, and sports." LL Cool J threw a little shade with, "going to Cheesecake Factory tonight."
But not everyone's laughing. Stephen A. Smith from ESPN? Naturally, he was legit fired up about the Cheesecake Factory shade.
TV star Demetria Obilor also backed the Factory, pointing out that with their ginormous menu, there's something for everyone.
All in all, this list is a rollercoaster, and whether you agree with it or not, it sure is sparking some hilarious conversations.
