Love how this woman wanted zero affiliation with The Cheesecake Factory and now she’s known as “The Cheesecake Factory chick” all over the internet.

Really glad he stood up for himself, called her out, and told her no. This is a good example for all men.

When my parents were dating, my dad was ordering chicken parm at every restaurant he brought my mom to. My mom's mindset at the time was "I hope these dates aren't too expensive for him, I'm going to order on the cheap 1/2 of the menu" (since chicken parm was one of the cheapest items on the menu at those restaurants). Turned out, it wasn't a money issue - dad just really likes chicken parm. But now the mindset of some of these women is the opposite - to milk as much money as possible out of these men with no thought to how it affects these men financially or mentally.

Ladies that man is a keeper. In the face of pure disrespect and entitlement he didn't call her names, he didn't raise his voice, he firmly and calmly told her no. She's done, no games. Kudos to him. And kudos to Courtney.

Courtney's sweetness always helps take the edge off the women she reacts to.

Kudos to the guy for respecting himself. Never date someone who does not respect you!!!!

This is the stuff of nightmares. She's so combative and entitled it's horrifying. That's one of those experiences where you can't wait for it to be over.

I had a first date that was a lot like this. Ironically it was a dinner-and-a-movie date. She kept me waiting outside for so long that I had to buy a second pair of movie tickets for a different show time. I took it all in stride, adjusted all the reservations, paid for everything, opened doors, and so on. And at the end of the evening she still had the temerity to chastise me for not presenting her with a bouquet of flowers. The movie we went to was “How to Lose a Guy…” 😆True story. PS: “Sprinkle sprinkle.” Ugh! TikTok is literally killing billions of brain cells every second all over the planet with all this specious nonsense disguised as “knowledge”. Can humanity survive this toxic tsunami of faux wisdom? Will people learn to stop being so credulous? I hope so. It’s like watching a herd stampeding towards a cliff. Stop following crazy “creators.” Stop being “influenced.” Respectfully submitted.

A woman will eat potato chips and drink a soda IF she actually likes you. If where you take her is more important than her being with you, she doesn't like you. Excuse yourself from her life. She's not even worth a coffee date let alone a dinner.

One aspect of this story that didn't get much publicity... he actually made a reservation at a DIFFERENT place, but had to cancel because SHE was an hour late. Once that got canceled, he had to scramble to find a place, so it's not like CF was his 1st choice.

He's honestly so nice. I would have just told her to get out of my car and then I would have went in the restaurant by myself and enjoyed a meal by myself.

Courtney, if I understand correctly, he had made reservations to eat at a nicer restaurant, but she was running so late (presumably from “getting ready”) that he lost the reservation, so he had to think up an alternative on the fly. And she STILL has this reaction. 😅🤦🏻‍♂️

Right here folks. Delete your online dating profiles and get out and get to know someone. This woman needs help. This is absolutely sick and this dude should have told her to get out of the car and get her own Uber. Also, she needs to publicly apologize for humiliating this man. I can’t even begin to form the words to describe this BS.

Not the Cheesecake Factory Chick getting cooked again. 😭😂

I hope this guy will find a good and kind woman someday, he seems respectful and sets boundaries. That woman though if she keeps acting like that she's going to end up bitter. Good people exist outside these social media attention seekers, I know plenty of good women in my everyday life.

I actually want to give this guy a high five after seeing this. He deserves much better, and hopefully his next 'first date' will be a significant improvement over this disaster. Honestly unbelievable that people like this woman exist, because it's clear that her parents just straightout did not raise her right.

It's funny how when he tells her I'm just going to drop you off at home then, that her tune suddenly changes to let's find a compromise and says he had some good points. It's crystal clear that she has an entitled mentality and was trying to bully and/or guilt him into paying for meal that suits her "worth". I give him props for keeping his composure because if it was me, I don't know if I could have kept my cool or I would have dropped her off as fast as I could.

The level of narcissism, self absorption, social media addiction, and overall rudeness is just beyond belief. The moment that phone is whipped out and the camera rolling, I would be like "yeah, no, we're done. Let me take you back to your place." That guy handled it better than I would have, I'll give him that. If this is what modern dating is these days, thank God I found my wife and don't have to deal with this. What a nightmare.

i am impressed by the patience on this man.. i would never be this calm, given the situation.

Btw, she's 6'1 and weighs about a good 260lb. There is another video where she appears on a podcast with the guy she messed up with the date with and I promise you, you'll be shocked that she thinks so highly of herself. Honestly based on her looks alone, I wouldn't even rate her a 5. Maybe a 4 at best. But with that attitude, she went all the way down to a zero for me. So yeah, she's right. You don't take a woman who looks like that to the Cheesecake Factory. You her to McDonald's or KFC.

On top of her abhorrent behavior, this woman locked him out of his OWN car! That should NEVER be tolerated from anyone, no matter how delusional and narcissistic they are..

There are a lot of women who make this rage bait type of videos because they know most people will react angrily, giving them free views and attention for no reason at all. The Cheesecake Factory lady did this to get people to watch her podcast, and she definitely succeeded in getting people outraged.

Courtney's eyes watching this video are comedic gold

Great video, there is nothing like a perfect marriage or relationship, I learnt that in everything there is always a solution, 5 years ago I and my wife divorced because we were having some difficulties in our marriage but we are back together ,it was a really bad phase but we got through it

As soon as she began to record a video, the date was over. Broadcasting a 1st date on social media is a HUGE Red Flag and we're done. Shopping on a first date? Unrealistic expectations.

Respect to that guy. He stood his ground, he stayed calm.

Courtney's facial expressions on her video thumbnails are always a big clue that she had to witness and respond to some next level ish!😂 After watching the video, I can understand the look on her face. I really enjoy these teaching moments. Courtney has this sweet, classy way of calling out the b.s. and offering solutions. 🙏🏾💯

I find it hilarious that The Cheesecake Factory is considered broke people eating to some people. I'm only a college a student, but for me and my gf's first anniversary last year I took her there as a nicer restaurant because we both broke 😂. She was very appreciative of it. If she acted like that, I'd have probably just called it quits right then. I ain't got time for that.

Cheesecake Factory is more expensive than I would ever pick for a first date. How does this person think she has any right to complain about it ? Especially when he’s calling in plan B because of her. I would not entertain a woman who arrives an hour late on me. This guy needs more self-respect to have left her behind long before this video.

During my dating years, I took a date to a park and brought everything for a picnic. She got pretty pissy and left early, thank goodness it wasn't like today where they post their entire lives and play victim.

Courtney realizes and knows the struggles of many men in the dating scene

This "Date" seemed staged to me. Giving it the-benefit-of-a-doubt my advice would be never pick up anyone you don't know even for a first date. Always meet somewhere public first where you can walk to the coffee shop or diner. First dates don't rate expensive restaurants. If the woman in question doesn't like the coffee shop or diner she is free to walk away. No harm, no foul. Never apologize if you didn't say or do anything wrong. The New York Post has had several articles over the last few years based on surveys/studies where about a third of women had admitted that they go on dates for free dinner, drinks, and entertainment like a movie if offered. These are called "Foodie Calls". That's a lot of women who have no intention of seeing you again let alone who were looking for a relationship to begin with. Best dates that I have been on started as a "Coffee" date where you can sit and talk with the woman you are interested in. Never start off any "get together" at a movie theater since most everyone else there is present to watch the movie. Women with attitudes like this one wearing lavender lipstick don't "deserve" anything.

You know she doesn't get courted, she gets thwarted. You can't go to a five-star restaurant without wearing a bra and you're lucky he didn't take you to Taco Bell, or Sunoco

Social media messed these women up. Social media makes a new narcissist every day.Also I would have immediately told her to get out because this is just disrespectful

As always, love your reactions to this stuff. I appreciate that you aren't like making fun of people or being nasty about them but instead giving level-headed, calm comments about them that are spot on. I had an experience with a girl like this when I was around 19 or 20. She wasn't a gold digger, but she was extremely bratty though. I rolled over and took it the first few times we hung out but eventually I stood up for myself and just left. She was flabbergasted and even started crying; it was like she couldn't even believe that someone might have that reaction. One of the best learning experiences I ever had... another friend of mine flew down to see her 15 or so year later without consulting me first, unfortunately, and it went about as well as one might imagine: brought along her parents to dinner, ordered the most expensive items on the menu, and then after having implied that she was sexually interested in him for weeks, "allowed" him to go down on her and then rolled over and went to bed. He called me from the hotel parking lot afterward to vent about it and I felt so bad that he had even gone to meet this "woman". This Sprinkle Sprinkle lady is something else too, never heard of her before. She says, "All he had to do was say he was gonna take her shopping after. That's all he had to do." All he had to do? Yeah, all he had to do... IF he wanted to appease an entitled brat of a woman and become her next mark lol Sounds like a high price to pay for a shitty "relationship". She phrases it as if he missed out on something lol Please guys, don't even entertain bratty women. If that woman had refused to get out of the car and then started filming, I would have told to get out of my car because the date is over and she is now trespassing in my vehicle. You can get an Uber, home, lady.

Hi Courtney! I just found your channel recently and as a woman I appreciate you not bashing people but just having an open conversation and being honest with people especially guys who see someone like this lady on social media and possibly think all women are like her. She definitely embarrassed herself and I’m glad that guy did exactly what I would’ve if I was him. Her behavior is not the norm at all!!

This girl is a poster child for what CGA calls a 49er - a woman who's a 4 but thinks she's a 9

We need a roast session from Courtney on these types of people

3:10 There is even more backstory to this. Apparently he had originally arranged the date at a five-star restaurant. She showed up an hour late, and by the time she was finally ready to go, the restaurant had canceled his reservation. Cheesecake Factory was his Plan B. Then the sequence depicted in the video happened, and he gave up and drove her home. He was far too patient, chivalrous and courteous with her. However she did him a favor by saving him what he would have spent on what was obviously a foodie call

I remember being 17. Tough age. Props to this Gentleman for keeping his cool.

I can imagine that plenty of ladies would gladly take her place. This gentleman did everything right, showed some clear boundaries, and acted upon his expectations.

BEST PUBLICITY CHEESECAKE FACTORY EVER GOT.... AND FOR FREE TOO

This is another reason you always agree to meet someone for a first date and not pick them up. The Cheesecake Lady is so concerned about letting this guy in her apartment yet she gives him her address. He handled himself well. I would've dropped her off at Arby's.

I'll say, he held that together better then most of us would. You could tell near the end he was seething, but he didn't take any guff, he stayed calm, collected and respectful. Kudos to him.

You nailed it with the cherry picking. They come up with shit like "don't do wife duties, at girlfriend rate." but they want anniversary effort on a first date. As always, the math ain't mathing

I'm happy to see this is going viral. Maybe it will help humble her and knock her off the pedestal she put herself on. Refusing to get out of the car is something a child would do.

His politeness, his composure and his respect for her are absolutely incomprehensible to me. Well done.

Dealt with a woman like this once. She only wanted to go out on a date approved by her. Date lasted as long as a New York minute.

He should have just said “OK. Thanks for your time. I’ll take you home now”. She’s willing to compromise now because she’s not getting a free meal. Looks like it’s PB&J again tonight.

This is a perfect example of the Streisand Effect lol… by trying to distance herself from it, she’s now forever tied her public image to the Cheesecake Factory lmao

As a guy I literally can’t watch this so won’t even finish it, so sad and cringe to see a great kid like him to be treated like that, it is too much for me. Really hope he finds a good lady who will value him the way he deserves. What a terrible world we live in sometimes.

thank you for talking about unrealistic expectations and level of respect on a date

2:26 this is what social media has caused. below mid women having inflated egos thinking they are 10s when they are not even a 3 smh

When a woman REALLY likes a man she is not overly concerned with where they go to eat. She's appreciative of spending time with that man whatever they decide to do.

Excellent, He did the absolutely the right thing. He was polite, clear and decisive.

I’ve never watched the entire video. I didn’t know she was an hour late and The Cheesecake Factory was his backup plan. That makes the situation even worse. He did the right thing by ending the date. She was disrespectful and did not deserve another chance. The lady in the second video has to be joking.

Even though it was fake - and I always had suspicions that it was fake - the fact that it struck such a nerve still says something about the state of dating culture. And yes, I will go there regarding her appearance. She looks like she’s fit to eat at Applebee’s, not some fancy restaurant, lol.

This guy seems like a good dude. Hoping he finds someone who adds to his life instead of detracting from it. He is too good for her at least from whats been shown.

Guys this video is a great demonstration of a Narcissistic woman. If you ever see this Red Flag 🚩 run away as fast as you can 🏃‍♂️ She will never respect you. Personality Disorders like Narcissistic or Borderline were recently profiled in a Psychology Today magazine article which stated that over 10% of the population has a Personality Disorder 😳 I have dealt with women like this and it is nothing but heartache 😢

If that was me I would have asked her to get out of my car and have her either walk , take a cab, or take public transportation. If she refuses to get out I would have called the police on her and told them that I wanted her out of my car.

Its crazy how social media is making people so polarized and overwhelmingly not to their benefits

He is actually a Physician in Residence at a major hospital She probably had no idea he was a 6 Figure Potential Partner

My man didn't just dodge a bullet, but a nuclear missile.

I’m new to this channel and it’s just crazy that there are people like this. It’s almost like they’re just putting on an act but it’s real lol! People think they’re either queens or kings and everyone that surrounds them are very much below them. That’s hilarious that she had no idea that she screwed up plans before the night began. I can’t believe he had a plan B for a first date! I def would not have done that. I’d also tell her to call one of her loyal servants or an Uber to drive her home..👋😉

8:45 This is exactly the problem, and I think it's often why men and women see past each other without seeing eye to eye. She puts on fake eyelashes, fake hair extensions, fake nails, spends an hour in the bathroom and thinks she's doing this "for the man on her date". But most men don't give one flying f(*k about that stuff. She does it for herself. It's basically like the man waxing his car before the date and expecting some crazy amount of appreciation for it. Also... we have eyes and most of us aren't idiots. WE KNOW those aren't your nails and eyelashes. WE KNOW you're actually 5'4" and standing in 3" stilettos. WE KNOW that top/bra is pushing everything you've got up to your neck. Maybe instead of all that you could NOT suit up in a walking torture chamber, SAVE a little money from not going to the salon 4 times a week, and come to the date more comfortable, and thus a good bit more pleasant to be around?

He’s a lot nicer than I would’ve been. I would’ve kicked her out in the parking lot😂

I mean, we in the U.K. don't have The Cheesecake Factory! I'd love to go there! It sounds cool! It sounds like they specialise in cheesecake and they have a million different variations on the menu!! I'd be like..... Give me alllll teh cheeeeeezekeks nom!!

Handled like a true gentleman, you can tell he is a grounded, respectful man. There is still hope🎉

She is one those people who have friends that tell her "you deserve better" any time a relationship doesnt go her way. Her friends are sabotaging her love life.

Look at her backtracking when she realises she gotta cook her own dinner. Cos it’s all a game!!! From the start

Where does the entitlement come from? Being 1 hour late, missing a reservation at Aria, and still being toxic. The guy should have canceled the date from the start.

This TOTALLY reminds me of my g/f who I lost to a medical condition in 2014 but after 2 months of not quitting she finally told me ok, I'd proven myself to her- She would "Totally call me her b/f or her man" I knew a little bit throughout the 2 months she made me wait I did my best so before Thanksgiving 2013 she told me this and the night before Thanksgiving she said "We're going out to my G'Ma's some of my extended family will be their, this yr I said "I'd be so happy to go w/you're not celebrating Thanksgiving yet right? She said "Correct" I also said before Thanksgiving think "We should each do it w/our own families then at Christmas we might change our minds" She said "Let's do that!" Family means so much to me, and meant so much to her that I thought better slow down?" I went out to her SUV since she was driving b/c we were going to her G'Ma's and I was fine w/that what happened next was she said "Alright I'll be right out" I'm standing by her door ready to open it for her she said "What are you doing? You aren't driving!" I said "See in my family if you want to be a Gentleman you should do things not just to prove your worth to your g/f but to God?" She got in I closed the door she said "Thank you Mr. Gentleman" I went around went through my door and sat sat down in her vehicle" Unlike, this guy who I think was trying his best it sort of became a joke for us but we knew when it was real as well so thanks to her medical condition it could be hard for her to start her car so she asked if I'd start the vehicle I'd did and as joke she said "Well Mr. Gentleman I might keep you around a little longer" I always laugh when I think about that, I had the chance to celebrate that w/her?" I still means a lot me even since she passed in 2014 - I'll think I have in the past dated women like this woman but this was different unlike the woman in the video" I'm the greatest thing God's ever put on this planet here for you-"The Greatest?" Try again Muhammad Ali would always said that before boxing matches- that!:Here's $2 go find a Bible and read it! No your NOT! I stuck w/her b/c it was different always a lot teasing each other & probably b/c God told me "She's worth staying w/I kept trying we had 1 massive blow up- argued for 2 hrs almost- I found that communication ( you can't put a price on it) are really make things work! I looked back at our 2 hr argument as something that helped develop our relationship- Yeah all these yrs later and I still miss her!

The reason she doesn't see any wrong with posting the video is because she's backed by her friends and troves of women who agree with her

I agree, this is not the norm, but this is becoming the norm. There's a lot of women feeling "entitled" to royal treatment, there's a lot of men entitlement as well. This is the result of dating apps, instagram, OF, and all those social network apps that have changed the mindset of a lot of people, I don't see this going backwards but just the opposite, unfortunately. Thanks for making this video and trying to stop that trend.

I've had female strangers be over the top rude and uncivil towards me in public for no reason at all, but never had any gal that I took out on a first date be that over the top rude and mean on a first date or meeting. I don't think this gal was very interested in him ever when she saw him on the dating site.

No thank you ain't wasting any of my time with these type of women. Thank you Courtney for this video it's crazy seeing these kind of behavior. These ladies are so clueless thinking they're on the right but actually making themselves look like fools. Keep fighting falas never give up, their are a lot of GOOD humble and beautiful women out there and be wise falas like this gentleman here holding his ground with a respect politely ways to eliminate the situation quicker. // Thank you Courtney for sharing this video 🙏 with excellent advice as always.

A hour late on first date? His mistake was waiting

Honestly, he was such a king for even taking her home must have been the most awkward thing. I would honestly would have just left her if it happened to me, I couldn’t bare the awkwardness.

I just wanted to thank you for bringing this content to the conversation. It is nice to have another woman's perspective on the current dating scene that isn't some politically charged polarized nonsense, just something genuine with a perfect amount of femininity. I'm not on the dating scene and haven't been for over 10 years now (also married with kids) but I've been rather concerned for how relationships and dating has been going. It is great to have your contributions as something positive. Thanks Courtney you're doing a wonderful job.

The way he handled that situation is top-tier respectful. Hats off.

He handled that so well, continued to think about her protection and took her home. I would have driven to the nice restraunt, opened her door. Got back in and drove off. She could uber home.

She looks like she's old enough to know better. The older we get, the more mature we become. She embodies the brattiness of someone in their teens and early twenties with no manners. How is this even possible?

Excellent commentary!

This recording is so satisfying. Good for him! His demeanor is so cool and composed.

Hi Courtney! The fact that she was using TikTok on a date tells me she WANTED TO FIND SOMETHING WRONG on this date and she was going to do that no matter what. Very disturbing kind of attitude. Edit: Going shopping on a first date? That is weird to me. I hope that you and your husband have a great weekend!

Courtney has so much class, it's amazing. I bet Courtney wouldn't get upset by the Cheesecake Factory.

Thanks Courtney. You are a class act! Great videos!! great advice.

The entitlement mentality is terrifying. What makes people think they're so special? First people I blame are their parents.

The guy has the patience of a saint. I doubt I could tolerate her enough to discuss anything.

Wow!!! When my husband and I went on our first date, we went to a movie then a local chain restaurant… and we have been together for 20 yrs and married for 16 of them. I love him. It’s not about the money spent or the location you’re going to… it’s the chemistry both you have with each other.

this is something so trivial and mind blowing, and just because I was curious I went to her tiktok and saw that she is 40. If you are 40 and obviously without a marriage and you act like you are some revolutionizing girl who will be the best he ever had you don't start off with a date at a 5 star restaurant because you would be a realistic woman.

Happy Friday Courtney. I can’t believe this woman, she’s so ungrateful. Cheesecake Factory is a nice restaurant, people in my hometown are begging for one to open up. But yeah the way she behaved says it all and I’m glad this man made the right choice to end the date. That man deserves better, I’m impressed by that man’s manners even with how she was acting.

I actually think the first few dates should be fairly simple - It would make me uncomfortable if a guy had a date that was very elaborate and $$$. I also think that, early on, it’s not that safest thing to have the guy pick you up in his car - try to arrive and leave separately if you can, especially if the other person ends up being 😱.

Honestly, all of the respect to him for getting that far. Unless she's a good liar, I reckon she showed sign she was like this, whereas he still give her a benefit of the doubt...

A beta male aka a weak simp would have rolled over and had taken her where she demanded. But this guy had a set on him and stood his ground. Proud of him. Take notes men.

Sprinkle Sprinkle is the new Red Pill, it is everywhere. I just find it too cringe especially the divine feminine energy & wounded masculine crap & how they are promoting girls be Gold diggers, to not accept coffee & walk dates & how be completely shameless & not even offer to pay.

i took my parents + sister + her 2 kids to the cheesecake factory, the bill came out to $350. There is no "cheap eats" out there anymore.

100% agree it's a low-blow to call out someone's appearance... *UNTIL* that someone is so delusional (and in lack of self-awareness) that she thinks she's an 11 while being built like a horse w/ 35% bodyfat and a cheap dress from shein. Time out "queen", you're in for a cab ride home.

22 years ago I took my wife on our first date. Chinese buffet and a movie. Our wedding rings costed a total of $300 (Including the engagement ring). Find a girl who will love you for who you are. Anything less is not worth your time or money,.

Cheesecake factory has become the new first date test 🤣🤣
