$8.60. That’s how much Liam asked this girl to repay him after he purchased a drink for her at The Viper Room, a bar (or club, whatever) in England.
Late last week, Abby (@abbyfent17 on Twitter) posted a screenshot of her text conversation with this guy asking for his money back after things didn’t go his way. And by “his way,” I mean sex. We’re talking about Abby not having sex with Liam, and Liam wanting her to repay him for the drink he bought.
She took a poll and asked her followers if she should pay the man his money, and the results went pretty much as you’d imagine.
Do I think men should pay for drinks every time there’s a romantic transaction taking place? No, I don’t, because I’m all about equality and empowering women. It’s 2016 and splitting bills is as acceptable asking people to throw in for an Uber. But where Liam botched this entire situation? By waiting “a few weeks” to comb through his finances only to decide, “You know what? Screw it. I’m charging that Abby bird for the quid she owes me for that drink at The Viper Room.”
A few weeks, man? Really? I’d have more respect for you if you sat on the sidewalk outside your flat begging for money from innocent bystanders than I do for you now that you’ve directly asked her. Pull yourself up and get yourself together. .

63 unread messages? That’s stressing me out. Just open them, you don’t even have to respond.
Never understood people who have 1,400 unread emails. Just having one of those red notification numbers on my iPhone screens stresses me out.
Now you know why Hillary deleted all those emails.
I use Gmail app which organizes the emails into categories and only notifies actual emails, as opposed to apples email which notifies every promotional email, spam, and Facebook notification, resulting in 1,000 unread email notifications.
Shits annoying.
20,679 unread emails for me LOL
You’re a masochist.
Ok but how is “The Viper Room” not a strip club?
Cause Europe
We should at least be able to write off date expenses that don’t result in sex as a charitable donation.
What he said
That’s low by Liam, no doubt. That being said, totally done paying for women’s’ drinks.
You should always try buying one drink. It’s an opener. If she’s not willing to get the next round, take your $8 loss and move on. I buy drinks for guys all the time.
You buy drinks for guys?
Sup?
Yes, but you better put out.
This girl must be a dragon in the sack
That seems fair
I suppose that’s a fair attitude. I just don’t like doing it right off the bat. If we’re having a conversation and it’s going well I’ll probably offer, but it’s rarely how I’m starting it off now.
Oh, I agree! I never ask someone if I can buy them a drink. I just buy my own, start a conversation and then if I notice we’re getting empty, I’ll ask “Another one? What are you drinking?” and make a trip to the bar. It’s a genuine offer, and I will 100% follow through but if he says “I’ve got this one,” I’ll also take him up on it. And I like going to the bar together because its usually more crowded there, and you can put out a vibe and decide if you like being in each other’s personal space.
100% with you on that then. Soooo, do you prefer a May or September wedding?
If you think I’d get married during football season, you haven’t been paying attention.
Whew. That’s the answer I was looking for.
Someone better be sliding up in someone’s DM’s. Let us know how this goes.
I had an ex send me an itemized list of things he paid for out on dates the last two weeks we were together (mind you I always pretty good at sharing in the cost of dates). One of the things I apparently owed him money for was a #1 from Whataburger.
Haha gotta get those mileage statements too. I drove 207 miles I wouldn’t have by dating you. At $0.21 per mile, that comes out to…$43.47 you owe me for gas.
When you’re so poor, you have to ask girls to pay you back for drinks if they don’t go home with you. PGP.
I had someone pull an old crumpled receipt out of their wallet from 9 months ago and told me they realized I never paid them the $3.72 for half of the 10 piece chicken nugget meal we split……..and don’t forget the .20 for the extra sweet and sour packet.
Ok you win. Or lose. Depends how you look at it.
Also, sup? If we ever go on a date, I’ll pay for your chicken nuggets AND the extra sauce.
Ill raise you and pay for both of our nugget meals as long as I don’t have to share another 10 piece in my life. Forget the $3.72 who stops at 5 nuggets?
Deal. Let’s make it happen if you ever find yourself in San Francisco – I’ll get the drinks and you get the chicken nuggets.
I really hope you have the Bill! Bill! Bill! chant as your go-to sex song.
Hell yeah I do. And I synchronize my thrusts with the “Bill! Bill! Bill!” chants.
this guy gets it.
You guys just ruined my childhood.
I do what I can.
Those whacky Brits
I think buying a girl a drink and not getting laid is tax deductible.
Impressed by this guy’s chutzpah, if nothing else. Wow.
