Man slammed for horrific text to woman he bought drinks for in bar

We might live in the age of online dating, but that doesn't mean that some people don't still meet in real life.

This often takes place in bars and clubs and can begin with one of the interested parties offering to get the other a drink.

However, with people being people, this can sometimes lead to unwarranted expectations being placed upon whoever accepts the drink.

A perfect example of this phenomenon has been doing the rounds on Twitter and shows what happened to a woman named Becky after she let a man in a bar buy her some drinks.

It's a simple screenshot that starts out like an innocent enough follow-up conversation, but it soon descends into something entirely disturbing.

"This Becky?" the man begins with a kiss before adding: "It's Ryan from the other night, hope you gave me the right number lol."

While this does seem like an innocent enough opening, it takes a slight turn when he remarks: "Becky a savage."

"Yeah, this is Becky, don't remember a Ryan tho," the woman proceeds to reply with a laughing emoji.

It's at this point, dear readers, when Ryan's nice guy mask drops entirely, and he lets Becky know exactly why he's hit her up.

"Oh right well we got chatting Monday night and I bought you like 5 drinks which is probably why you can't remember me [sic]," he explained.

"I didn't end up getting to smash u. I think you should pay for the drinks or want to meet and shag? [sic]"

He continued: "Also owe someone tick so kinda need it b. £20 will do. Let you off the rest [sic]."

Now, there's a lot to unpack here.

To begin with, this man's reinforced the problematic notion that men only buy women drinks if they want sexual favours in return.

But to make matters worse, Ryan's implied that Becky should - to all intents and purposes - engage in full-service sex work if she wants to avoid paying him £20.

Unsurprisingly, Ryan was ripped to shreds on Twitter, where a screenshot of the conversation was posted.

One user joked: "Hang on there's still guys out there that think buying a girl a drink is the same as buying a ticket to fanny land? That's like me thinking I’ve got a non refundable Willy ticket just cause a guy held the door open for me and didn't even make eye contact. Bizarre."

"Whoa this a different level of broke," added a second while a third wrote: "Who said romance is dead."

On that note, please be careful when accepting drinks from strangers - unfortunately, there are some dangerous people in this world.
