Would you pay a $100 first date deposit? Single woman, 30, proposes charging time-wasting Aussie men cancellation fee after splashing out ‘hundreds’ on makeup and petrol for Tinder no-shows

Melbourne’s single, Maddy Carter, has redoubled her controversial opinion that men should pay a deposit at the first date to end last minute cancellations in appointment applications.

“If someone cancels an appointment within 24 hours, they should be able to collect a cancellation rate,” said the 30 -year -old woman in a recent episode of her MAD’s World Podcast.

However, the proposal to charge in advance to men 100 dollars for a promised appointment caused a rapid reaction, with dozens of furious knights criticizing the Tiktoker for their vision of modern appointments.

“And they wonder why relationships fail, which is a great beginning,” said a man when Maddy shared a podcast clip on his social networks.

“If you want to know why the boys cancel you, look at your own Tiktok again,” another man snapped. “If we wanted drama and pomp, we would all go to the Miss World contest.”

‘Collect for the time of a woman … novel,’ said another with sarcasm.

This week, Maddy laughed at the heated online reaction that he has received since he made the idea public.

“I said what I said,” Mail Australia told Daily on Tuesday, “and I keep it.”

The Tiktoker explained that the inspiration came to him when he had been talking to a boy ‘in the applications’ for a couple of weeks, and he left her planted on a Friday night with less than half an hour in advance.

“We had set an hour and a place for Friday night,” he said, noting that his trip to Melbourne’s CBD is one hour by car from his home.

‘I tan the night before. I went to work that day when I could have worked from home. I made up. I combed my hair. I disguised. I had a glass before with my coworkers at the bar … and then I received a text message half an hour before we were. ‘

‘He said: “Oh, I’m sorry, I have to work late, I can’t come.”

Maddy said that men who fall apart in the first quotes in the last minute with “little convincing excuses” is very common.

‘It probably happens once every two times. So many times, ‘he lamented.

“Australian men have that thing they love to speak, but they don’t want to follow the example.”

He said that many online conversations began positively, but ended up with “crickets” since the man failed to continue.

Maddy added that women often had to juggle with several men at the same time, lending each one enough online to reach a meeting in the real world.

“It’s like having all these friends by correspondence, as small Tamagotchi pets on my phone that I have to feed and talk to all of them so they do not die.”

The blonde said she believes that 100 dollars would be a fair rate to compensate for the loss of time and also the funds that women invest in preparing for those dates.

“You can’t recover the time that is reversed to prepare and get excited,” he argued.

“That day I couldn’t do anything else. Friday night is the best real estate moment of the week. At 6 in the afternoon it is too late to organize another appointment or to make other plans with friends.

‘I had to go home, disregard and sit on my sofa watching Netflix. It is a huge waste of time and effort. ”

Maddy pointed out that the classrooms and other companies often use late cancellation rates to avoid wasting time.

‘Isn’t they the same thing that they leave you planted because they are still communicating, but work late Friday night? That is not an excuse.

‘I am someone who adheres to the plans once he makes them, out of respect for the other person. If you would not cancel your friend at the last moment, what makes you think that it is fine to cancel someone with whom you have been talking online?

In her episode of Podcast, Maddy and her friend said that young women like them spend hundreds of dollars in preparation for the first appointments, something they have scammed online.

“When I said that girls cost” hundreds of dollars “to prepare, I’m counting my makeup and beauty products: they are expensive! – But for my time more than anything else.

‘That is my salary per hour, 200 dollars an hour, plus the cost of Mac or Mecca products, how much it costs to keep my hair, my tan, fill my car with gasoline to go to the city and make a trip to the office. Everything adds. ”

Their comments occur when young people who are cited become more demanding about who they choose to know in real life in appointment applications.

Almost a A quarter of the single ones surveyed by Tinder for their report 2024 Year in Swipe said they will choose less connections and more significant for 2025.

“The single are adopting the intentionality in their love lives: they are sincere about what they want and refuse to reach an agreement,” said Melissa Hobley, director of Marketing at Tinder, while explaining a trend they have called “look loudly.”

People are expressing more clearly than who already want and, like Maddy, they are also sincere about what they don’t want.
