Dating is complicated. After all, being selective has never been easier with the myriad of dating apps and websites that let you filter people based on their descriptions. But let’s say you decide to go for it. You message back and forth, awkwardly wait to be asked out, think of different conversation starters… only to discover that the person you’re interested in is way too picky to begin with.
So today, we’re diving into the not-so-pleasant incidents where people ran into dates who were ridiculously entitled. From insisting you own waterfront property to demanding a free Korean BBQ dinner, some people have unrealistically high standards.
We have combed through the internet and collected some of the best stories of people who think they inherently deserve more than anyone else. Continue scrolling and, if you’re up for it, be sure to share your own experience in the comments below. Also, check out our most recent posts about entitled people right here and here.

He Had A Date With Destiny, And She Ordered The Lobster
Guy Went On One Date With A Girl, Waited 3 Months Of No Contact Before Deciding To Pick Out Every Insecurity She Probably Has About Herself. Claims She Hurt His Ego, Then Proceeds To (Kind Of) Ask For A Second Date
“Dating is the discovery period of getting to know someone. It’s an opportunity for you to decide if you want to continue seeing this person or if not,” Elizabeth Overstreet, love strategist and relationship expert, told Bored Panda.
She explained that if you discern that someone is entitled, you have options. “You can decide to proceed in this relationship or to move on. It’s better to know sooner rather than later and it will help you increase your self-awareness as you continue the dating process and figure out who is the right partner for you.”
When asked how to interact with people who think they inherently deserve more than anyone else, Overstreet mentioned that they might be feeling some inadequacy with themselves. “It’s important that you provide boundaries with them. Treat them the same as others. You may even feel some compassion for them too.”

You’re an athlete only if do athletic things. You’re a writer only if you write, a singer only if you sing. And you’re a nice guy only if you actually do nice things and are nice to people!
Girl On Tinder Wants Korean BBQ
“Often, people who are entitled are not the happiest and even at times are insecure. While you shouldn’t allow their entitlement to rub off on you, you can show them by setting boundaries with them and treating everyone equally,” the relationship expert said. This way, you can shine a light on “how their behavior is actually not the right way to do things” and show them healthier ways to treat others. “However, realize it’s not on you to fix or alter who they are as a person”, she added.
Whether or not you can see a future with an entitled person is ultimately your decision. Overstreet wants you to understand that “in a relationship, while a person may make some changes and be impacted by how you treat them and the behavior you model for them, they inherently have characteristics and behaviors that are their blueprint.”

First One I’ve Run Into On Tinder
If that person would want to become mindful of others, they need to become more self-aware and have a desire to change who they are as a person. “Otherwise, the change is temporary.”
Elizabeth Overstreet asks you to remember that dating is a trial period to get to know someone. “You can learn a lot in the process of what you want, need and desire and what isn’t the right fit. That is what should make the process less stressful. Take your time, enjoy the ride, and allow things to build organically. The best relationships are built over time,” she explained.

He forgot: if I catch you smiling at a male, be it human, cat or dog, I will beat you to death.
"Please also be okay with my rape room. So many seem to have a problem with it. Sluts, all of them. If you're a good girl who does what you're told you won't have to be in it. It's just for the bad ones. And sometimes for the europeens and blackies, too."
🤣 even incorporated the "europeen" in there!! 🤣

This can't be real... Like, if it is.. this person isn't even a misogynist at this point.. this is a sign of a serious mental illness that needs some serious intervention. Ideally before he hurts someone.
No excuse for racism. They know what they are doing.

He forgot the “she will accept being slapped around if she doesn’t behave”
This guy sounds like the perfect image of the abusive kidnapper in a horror novel.
And, of course, not a word, not a single word on what they have to offer a prospective partner. I’ll never understand how some people think they are entitled to the world on a silver platter while making no effort on their part to be even marginally decent human beings.
His offer is the generous gift tha never having to be bothered about making any decisions for herself; I mean thinking is such nuance and it's hard. What woman wouldn't love to have a man control her life; what a man!!

She will probably burst from overuse the first week after amazon ships her in a plain brown wrapper.
This guy needs to be on a watch list. If he's willing to put that much in writing, he's 100% worse in person.
Those are a lot of words for someone admitting to having a small d**k. I mean why else are you not allowed to have past relations with a black person?
He is scared our Black will rub off. Cant have THAT! The HORROR!! lol

How do you not only have the gall to even write something like this, but have the gall to write something like this with SO MANY SPELLING ERRORS?!?!?! Would have saved so much time by writing "I'm a racist, misogynistic f*ckwad with trust issues and the functional literacy skills of a rock. Wanna date? "
Well, it's certainly a massive pile of s**t, you can take your pick!

This was a lot of words to say "I'm a RED FLAG wrapped in an Racist, abusive shell who has no idea how to treat a woman like a human being and I'm really just looking for a living, breathing Fleshlight"
Im a creepy ass grandpa who wants a young woman to control, be my personal incubator and shame for doing the same exact crap I've done. But hey I'm a swell Boomer girls!
Sorry, if he's only 50, he's a Gen Xer, not a Boomer. Boomers ended in 1965. He was born in 1972. I guess it really doesn't matter what his "label" is when "disaster" covers his personality just fine.

Hopefully there's an Asian, Hispanic or "Europeen" woman out there looking for a barely literate, racist piece of s**t.
Anyone who says "no head games", "no bs", or "no drama" will be the most dramatic head case you ever met.
"No Head Games or B******t" Meanwhile, this ad is full of both. Not to mention other disgusting things.
She will stay by my side at home, even when I am at home. Terrifying.
Yeeeecchhh. Icky icky icky gross gross man. "Gimme gimme gimme a women I can control. I like to project my insecurities.)
Is that perosn really that delusional that he thought that might actually work?
You have to wonder what sequence of poor parenting led to this individual believing that any of what he wrote there was okay...
they didnt censor bull s word also he misspelled lots of words
Has anyone ever found this guy? I desperately need to see him explain this.
There is one positive to this. He's so stupid, he warns women about how nasty he is.
Petite, but up to 5'9". Okay so doesn't know what petite means
He definitely won't find any Europeen if he's looking for a lady friend.
I wish the abusive narcissist I had to deal with had come with an obvious red flag resume like this. I hope whoever this is is still alone and not tormenting some poor woman.
Sometimes I question if this is real, this seems so impossibly stupid, narcissistic, and racist but at the same time I could see someone doing it.
Sounds like this guy got cheated on. I know it's wrong to cheat on anyone, but with this guy it seems more understandable tbh.
...and it puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.
I have a feeling this was written by somebody, posing as somebody else, as a means to out them for all of their racist and misogynistic ways, in order to deter any poor woman from making the mistake of dating this guy.
Wow - this read is supremely cringeworthy. First we have a racist, then we have a probable wife beater, followed by an all-round ugly nasty piece of flesh. Good luck in find a mate, sunshine!
All of the African-American women that read that, just took a big sigh of relief. Not. Sad to say, there are really some people out there like this. A. Lot. Oh and BTW, if this guy can read this response, use the F7 key.
Me too bud, I hate being leid to by Europeens regarding sexual relashions.
Dear God, it's me, All Humanity. Please don't let this man reproduce.
This kind of reminds me of a comedian (I want to say it was George Carlin, but please feel free to correct me if anyone knows who I'm talking about) who said something to the effect that when he gets bored, he tries to compose a lonely-hearts ad that NO ONE would answer. Nobody's going to answer this guy, either.
What the hell was that?? A sexual slave contract?? Someone call the police.
You can be Hispanic and European and White at the same time, like Spaniards. And Middle Eastern women are Asian too. And this man is seriously nasty 🤢
I can see why this turd is still single at 50. He'll likely die single and deserve it.
You can be Hispanic and be white and European, like Spaniards. Middle Eastern women are Asian too
I can only presume his reply contact item, (either e-mail or phone) stayed pretty much quiet over the next few years.
Oh my God. A bit controlling are we? Who is this crazy guy? This is the best advertisement for STAY AWAY.... This would be like dating the devil. I can't help but wonder if this is an Muslim Extremist.
Warning: If someone starts off with don't like head games or b******t, chances are they're already giving you a sneak peak into who they are. Run! Don't walk!
It sounds like an advertisement for any woman who wants to live the rest of her life in a sound proofed room in his basement.
Tell you're an incel without telling... aw, screw it. I don't want to know.
a lie detector test? My my, so many POS who don't realise why they're still single.
He says no drugs. She'll need drugs just to be able to be with him. I know I'd want to be totally out of my gourd.
Must be gullible and easy to groom, NO FEMINISTS, she will follow my macho misogynist b******t, never question my authority. If you don't. submit; you WILL learn.
Sooo exactly how do you find if one "sexual relations with a black person" is there a test or..... what a moron.
Fifty and still clueless why no one has ever dated him? Is he’s a racist, misogynistic incel garbage person. That’s why!
So, how much is this dude willing to pay for his slave? Will he ask for an extended warranty, too?
Why would you cockblock the whole community by redacting the contact information for this greasy?
Get a blow-up doll and donate time at an orphanage...save this world from your attempts at procreation.
Boy I bet that had them running to you. Oops. I meant running away from you
Where was this paper, is this like a self publish want ad? Did he drop these from a roof? Gross
You're never having kids because this isn't the 50s. And slavery is no longer legal. Lol
Just my 2 cents, Petite refers to Height NOT weight ... they are not interchangeable.
Petite actually means small. It can be height, and/or weight .

He forgot to mention that he likes to be addressed with "master" or "sir" lol
Racist, chauvinistic, and insecure about his size and performance ability. Awesome husband material and an all around 'great' guy, I'm sure. Hope he's not too traumatized when he Wakes up in THIS century.
"Europeen." 🤣🤣🤣 Is that observational hillbilly language for, "You're a peein' (peeing)"?
That should not be reproducing. I hope he didn't meet anyone to have his children!
So he's 50, he wants wife younger than 30, preferably a virgin, who has no will of her own and put up with his b******t. It has to be satire.
He didn't say no to sluts, however. You can f*ck other women, just not for money. And also, be serial killer levels of good at lie detector tests.
WOW. Fortunately, we now live in a somewhat enlightened age where racist, misogynist, sexist little twerps like that get to be alone until they learn how to become a decent human being.
Would you really wish a marriage with him upon someone?

Bored Panda also reached out to Emily Zitek, a professor at Cornell University’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations, to learn more about why some people think they deserve more. “Entitled individuals view themselves as unique, and they believe that they should receive rewards and benefits, such as more money, better grades, or preferential treatment, regardless of their performance or effort in comparison with others,” she explained.
According to her, a sense of entitlement could come from lots of different sources. Previous research has shown how messages in the media, an organization’s culture or reward system, or certain parenting practices may contribute to the development of a sense of entitlement.
Unsolicited Feedback From My Sisters Date. Spent The Whole Time Talking About How Smart He Is, And Ordered A Kids Meal At Lunch
Women who work are a turn off? Who can afford not to work these days seriously? Single income families are rare, I actually don't know any. Also I'm the breadwinner in my family and my husband does part time work whilst looking after the kids. These people need to get back to the 50s
Yes, Because Paying For Someone’s Food On A Date Means That You’re Entitled To Get Some
“Furthermore, having a high status in society” and being told you “possessed a rare skill” could also lead to feeling more privileged. “Thus, it seems that one reason that people may become more entitled is that they have received a message … that there is something special, valuable, or worthy about them,” the professor said.
While we might hear talks that entitlement in our society is getting more severe, Zitek mentioned that there is a debate about this among researchers: “Some people think the data indicates that entitlement is going up, and others think that entitlement is staying the same.”

"Not Everything Is About You"
Zitek found that entitled individuals “are more selfish, follow instructions less often, are more likely to think things that are unpleasant for them are unfair, get angry about bad luck, and are less likely to comply with the health guidelines of the pandemic. But on the flip side, people who feel entitled can also be more creative and better at getting what they want in negotiations.”

Jonathan, The Choosiest Of Tinder Beggers
Needless to say, interacting with such people can be challenging. The professor mentioned that individuals who have to deal with entitled others report lower well-being and burnout. If you ever find yourself in such a situation, you “should remember that this person’s claims are not based on merit and that if [you] reject this person’s request, the person will likely get angry/upset.”
“However, in one of my papers, we argue that just giving in also isn’t a good solution because it could lead to more entitlement later,” she concluded.

Some random dude messaged me on Facebook saying hi. He looked decent enough so I replied. After a few short messages he asked for a photo (not nude). I said I won't do that. He asked again and I didn't answer because I was at work and really busy (which I had already told him in the first few messages). He then asked me if I was sleeping. I said no, I'm at work and can't really talk. He asked again for a photo. When I said I'm at work (for the nth time) he got really mad and started calling me names, like 10+ messages of ranting and name-calling, all because I wouldn't send a photo And then he blocked me lol
They always start being polite but when they get a NO they go apesh!t.

Honestly having tried it and found online dating to be awful, I don't know what's worse trying to hold one sided conversations with matches or some of these lovely examples above but clearly there seems to be a massive difference between tinder in Scotland and tinder in the states. Though to be fair it seems to work well for some and then for others its a massive algorithm scam designed to get cash from people who are lonely and looking to meet people. No excuses for some of the absolute melts who are on there though XD
How is Tinder in Scotland compared to the US? Just curious :)

Once again, waiting for the incels to show us what a-holes they really are lmao. They'll be here any minute!
I was talking to some guy, he seemed nice and polite but when we made plans to meet up for coffee he kept resheduling (work called him in, he forgot he already had an appointment etc) and suggesting he'd come by my place after work, late at night, instead. Told him I wasn't comfortable with that, he kept asking, so I told him look I have a lot going on right now, sorry but it's not happening. All is well, he seemed to take the hint. A couple of months later I got a message asking how I'm doing etc, I told him I'm not interested. Got a couple more messages, ignored him first then blocked him. Six months later, a friend request on Facebook. Ignored it. Two years later (just recently) another friend request out of nowhere. Idk if hes just a very polite stalker or just very hopeful, he's def been more presistent than is normal but not really so much that it's been a bother.
It's still awful and also a bit stalker-like. Take care Potato.
