“I feel like he got the benefit of taking me on a date without paying for it; he got to look like a gentleman without the cost of chivalry,” she said."

Smells like a hamster wheel excuse for a dinner whore who thought she had herself a new sucker.

My partner and I split costs all the time and we use Venmo. It's a great bookkeeping tool, and helps both sides see how much is being spent. But I use it in addition to actually having conversations about money, not as a substitute.

I can see why many people (women) would not want to have that kind of transparency because it means it's all out there on the table and cannot be hand waved away or dismissed.

I in think the first story in the article, if the guy really did insist on paying, then he was shitty to then request to be paid back later.

It was what came next that surprised her. A couple of days later, Emily received “a notification” through a payment app called Venmo Opens a New Window. that she owed him $23 for her share of the bill.

And? So what... it's not a legally binding "bill" or invoice.

It's effective, which is the biggest reason everyone I know is on it. You can just ignore the Venmo request, but most people I know say they don’t. The reason: being “Venmoed” is not just annoying, but there is a certain stigma placed on the recipient, and that stigma usually leads to the desired result. If you don’t pay the request, or take too long to do so, you’re somehow reneging on a deal. You’re a cheat even if you really aren't as was the case of Emily and others I will soon point out.

Sorry, the whole "stigma" thing -- I just don't get how it doesn't work both ways -- how there ISN'T a similar "stigma" to someone changing a "deal" after the fact and sending you an invoice...

Utter bullshit... guess it just confirms that many Millennials really are idiots.
