"Princess treatment?" Woman dumps guy after he calls safety check an entitlement

Dating today feels like a combination of excitement and disappointment, espec

ially when apps turn connections into quick chats. One small gesture, or the absence of it, can change everything, leading to discussions regarding respect and basic manners on social media posts.

One such post went viral, where a woman tells why she cut off her contact due to a basic and simple reason.

A disappointing date night

Sakshi shared her frustration on X after meeting a guy and heading home alone around 10:30 pm. He never checked if she arrived safely, so she called it out and cut contact.

The guy irrevocably called it "princess treatment" without effort on her part. “Went to meet a guy and came back home alone at around 10:30 pm. He didn't even ask if I reached home safely? So I raised this concern and stopped talking to him. He said you need a princess treatment without doing anything. When did basic courtesy become princess treatment? Bring back masculine men please,” she posted, racking up over 200,000 views.

How did social media respond?

Many social media users supported her stance and commented on her post. One user wrote, “When we host friends for dinner, we always check back with them to see if they are back home safely. That’s just courtesy.”

Another tied it to upbringing: “The home environment and elders’ guidance shape one’s behaviour in terms of common courtesy. Toxic households with disregard for women often practise the same in later life, thinking it is normal.”

Another user wrote, “I ask everyone if they reached home safely, irrespective of their age and gender. That’s just the bare minimum.”

Another gave a practical response: “In the first place, he should have dropped you home. If that was not possible, the least he could have done was ask if you reached home safely.”

Other responses showed empathy: “I’m sorry you had to experience that.” Relating to the vibe, another said, “Sensible guys would ask this even during the daytime. This is not princess treatment. It is about being considerate, which is the least you can do for someone.”

Why is the viral post important today?

This viral post brings to light the changing dating trends and basic needs. Late-night safety feels vulnerable, especially for women, yet some see concern as entitlement.
