In this episode of Chew The Fat With Smoove Podcast, we’re breaking down the heated debate around coffee dates and why they’ve become such a polarizing topic in modern dating. We dive deep into why some women view low-stakes dates as an "insult," while exploring the male perspective on using coffee dates as a vital vetting tool against "plate pirates" and entitled behavior.
If she truly rocks with you, she’ll go anywhere—if she doesn't, she’ll demand an extravagant experience.
