Is it okay for you to be invited to a Mamak stall on your first date?

Recently, a Malaysian woman posted on Threads that she was blocked by her crush because she refused to go on a first date with him at a Mamak stall.

In her post, she shared the whole story and also criticized the other party, which instantly sparked heated discussions among netizens.

She wrote in the post:

"I was blocked by the man who asked me out because I refused to go on a date at a Mamak stall. To be honest, I don't mind eating at Mamak stalls, and I love Thosai! But if someone doesn't want to put in some effort on the first date, what can you expect from him in the future?"

She said that when she later posted photos of herself dining at the restaurant on social media, the man mocked her and said that she was picky and only wanted to dine at expensive places, which made her very angry.

"I was dining alone at the time and I didn't ask him to pay the bill! Others are right, there must be a reason why men are still single after 30 years old."

As soon as the post was exposed, it attracted the attention of netizens, but netizens had different opinions on the matter.

Some people agreed with the female victim's choice, thinking that the Mamak stall was noisy and not a suitable place for dating and chatting. They also said that the focus of the woman's refusal was not how expensive the food was, but that the date location was inappropriate.

If the other person isn't willing to put in the effort to impress the woman on the first date, there seems to be no point in starting.

However, some netizens disagreed with the woman's view, believing that there was nothing wrong with going to a Mamak restaurant for a first date, and it mainly depended on whether the two could reach a consensus.
