- A family clashes to pay for dinner.
PRETTY DOESN'T HURT is used with permission from Jennifer Rau. Learn more at www.prettydoesnthurtfilm.com.
Mindy is fresh off a divorce when she goes on a trip with her 11-year-old daughter Julia and her single sister Jess. At the hotel, Mindy meets a musician named Steve, exchanging flirtatious glances in the hall. When her sister Jess collides with the pair in the hallway, Steve invites the whole family out to dinner, though it's not clear which sister could end up with Steve.
The dinner is fun, with Steve enjoying the company of both Mindy and Jess. But when Mindy and Jess make a bet about whether or not Steve will pay for dinner, the two sisters reveal fundamental differences in how they see the world, with Julia caught in the middle.
Directed by Jennifer Rau and written by Brooke Berman, this short drama takes the question of who will pay for dinner as its jumping-off point for a story that's equal part family drama and coming-of-age story. The action is primarily driven by Mindy and her sister Jess, whose perspectives on dating manners and mores differ, but young Julia is also taking everything in, learning about the unspoken rules about women and men in a painfully poignant way.
The film has a slice-of-life look and feel, with unadorned, naturalistic visuals and a simplicity in the visual storytelling that lets the characters, dialogue and relationships come to the fore. Mindy and Jess are very different women. Though they are sisters, they have underlying beliefs that shape their interactions and ways of seeing differently. The ways they interact with Steve show their different ways of operating around men and what they think men and women should do. Jess is more independent-minded and thinks traditional ideas about men and women don't really work or apply anymore. But Mindy is more traditionally feminine, with ideas of what women and men should be and do, whether that's turning on the charm in any interaction with a man or expecting men to be "gentlemen."
The sisters' differences carry over into their dinner later with Steve, whose motives and thoughts are not revealed, either to the sisters or to the audience. Actors Jenny Maguire and Jenna Krasowski play Mindy and Jess, respectively, conveying both the long-time connection and sometimes flinty familiarity of sisters with significant differences. These become more pointed when triangulated with Steve, played by actor Andy Lucien with a relaxed affability that could be read as both romantic interest but also innate warmth. Mindy makes a bet on whether or not Steve will pay for dinner, though the more independent-minded Jess thinks it's ridiculous.
Watching all this is Mindy's daughter Julia, played by young performer Keeley Karsten. The film shifts to the daughter's perspective as the climax and denouement play out between Mindy, Jess and Steve, in a painfully awkward scene. What resonates -- and what we take as PRETTY DOESN'T HURT winds to its conclusion -- is not just how loaded the question of paying for dinner has become, but also a sense of missed opportunity it creates in the story. Rigid roles and practices might ease anxiety and make things more clear in dating and life, but sometimes it comes at a cost. No doubt Julia will reflect on this as she gets older, as she decides who she wants to be and what kind of world she wants to live in.
The sister is angry because her prettier sister lives in a world of privilege due to her prettiness and not in the world of experience of not so pretty people. Because things didn't go her (pretty sister) way (him paying) and getting embarrassed for being outed by her daughter for being like that, she chose to leave and also passing her not so pretty sister off as a consolation prize. This disrespecting both her sister and the man.
To be honest, assuming he was broke and taking a bet wasn't less disrespectful than the privileged sister's expectations.
Both of you have good points.
@@rinber13 I agree - that too was disrespectful.
I find the brunette much prettier than the blonde.
Nope. The only wrong thing here is that she didn't educate her kid at all.
Everything would have been perfectly fine if the kid was respectful enough to not manipulate the bet while putting an awkward pressure on the guy.
Also there's a high chance that she didn't even notice about the consolation prize thing she did because her intention was truly to make that guy like her sister since the beginning.
I was one of those kids. The little girl was just trying to show how grown up she was by participating in the conversation and didn't know that what was said shouldn't be repeated. In her defense, her mom and aunt didn't act like anything was wrong with making a bet about the guy. The adults learned nothing, but the little girl will never forget it.
Gee, I wonder why dad's not in the picture?!
Good observation
Ummm . . . Guess he wouldn't or couldn't pay for dinner ?
It's a real mystery. The mom seems like such a good catch. She's always right about everything. Every man wants a woman like that.
Because he isn't in the script.
@@somecallmetim4490 Yes, the dad could not fit in a 9 min movie! That is the only explanation, I am surprised that people seek for a deeper explanation
That was a really crappy thing to do to the guy. Ruined his night, and probably left him mistrustful of "pretty" women for a long time. The fair thing to do would be 3 separate checks: 1 for the man, 1 for the woman and her kid, and 1 for the other woman.
Exactly. I don't mind them having preferences for the men paying and even betting on the situation, but to really expect the man to pay is prejudiced.
I was really happy for all adults until that happened. The ending really sucks, because of how unhappy the characters were, and how vague the message is. I think that there is a chance that film is criticizing men still.
I agree that Mindy’s self-entitled attitude is crap, but he did invite all three of them on a date. The sister made assumptions about his ability to pay, which is also crap. Gentlemen do pay for dates. However, ladies don’t go on a date with a man who she is not somewhat inclined to. In this case, the question of who will pay should have been resolved before the meal. The sisters should not have been making bets about it.
@@hollyperrin7353 I don't think of it as a date. I got the impression that he was acting as a tour guide, and just showing them around, or a nice place to eat.
If you expect people to pay for everything, then you'll start seeing men walking away from even basic invitations for group events.
If you like your rules, then start inviting men out, even though they are strangers, and have no intentions of returning the hospitality. I don't think that you'd do it, though, because you probably want to design the rules around women receiving.
@@eugenetswong I don't think the message is to criticize men, it seems much more critical of the women, who are the ones who behaved disrespectfully in this situation
@@eugenetswong Women didn't design this rule. The social expectation that men should pay is patriarchal, it comes from a time where men didn't let women study, develop profesionally and achieve positions of power, so gentlemen had to pay because women had no means of earning their own money. We don't have to abide to this rules in the modern world, but many people still cling to this mindset. However it was never a rule made by women.
"Why are men supposed to pay for dinner?" Adults complicate things in ways children don't. It was a lesson the girl learned tonight and which will prove useful in years to come.
In the end, most, if not all, "women" expect to be cared for on one level or another.
You have those who are honest about it and those who are hypocrites.
@@craigjohnson4302 No, not all women expect to be cared for. My husband and I split all of the bills and have separate checking accounts. My mother raised me to be independent and to take care of myself. My husband's first wife burned him when they got divorced. We've been together since 1987.
@@valerieking5265 Well, I did say most, and there are exceptions to every rule.
However, being cared for doesn't necessarily imply monetary dependency.
@@craigjohnson4302 True. Being in a loving relationship, IMO, means that both parties care for each other.
@@valerieking5265You've been married for almost 4 decades. I hate to break it to you, but you're not independent at that point. 😂
Good acting, minimal plot, an emotional, family, character study. Quite entertaining.
Agreed!
Many people in the comments are offended that the mother expected him to pay. I don't think he is in any obligation to pay, of course, but I don't find the expectation so offensive (many women think this way, and many men too). However, the auntie's assumption that he wouldn't offer to pay because he's a musician and broke, THAT I find offensive.
The daughter learned of using beauty as a currency
Gold Standard
No she didn't. She question "WHY" men have to pay. When she saw the "No DIving" rule, she broke the rules... in the same way she won't follow the "Men have to pay" rules.
@@sirdopaminesjournal3292 What an incredible child blessed with beauty, a brain and able to pay for herself. Really amazing !
@@sirdopaminesjournal3292 Aaah thank you.. I see your perspective
I think she actually learned the opposite lesson, she learned how stereotypes like those can hurt people
The man should have been clear about separate checks when he invited them to dinner
The sister is the more attractive one in this film though. She just presents herself differently, which I find more attractive anyway.
I down voted your comment at first. I watched the video again, and I agree. I then up voted.
The mom made herself look more presentable. The sister wasn't exactly ugly or anything.
I would have hung out with the sister. Her belief about musicians wasn't exactly wrong, and it wasn't a hindrance to having a great relationship.
I'm glad that you made your comment.
Yes, the "pretty" mother wasn't attractive inside or out. Hopefully, that was intentional. It shows how a big part of attractiveness is attitude-based. Confidence is attractive, but self-delusional narcissism is not.
They really expected this man to pay for 4 meals.
He initiated the invite for them to go to The Burger Joint so he should pay this time. It's real simple, it's common sense.
@@georgespalding7640 Asking someone if they want to have dinner with us is different than inviting someone over dinner.
Asking "do you want to have dinner with me" is just a question, so strings attached, doesn't imply anything more. Especially to a family of strangers.
@@georgespalding7640 They are all in a hotel. They can all afford to pay their own way.
yeah; he offerred the meet up
Dude learned not to trust white chix.
I'm guessing that many others, have like me encountered people like this too. Every time I decided to pay up without protest, but never accept a second date. Not exactly s comfortable, or happy situation... This short is superbly crafted - the discomfort is palpable, every player is completely believable - and the writing, directing and filming is flawless. 👏🏻👏🏻💕
I thought the dark haired girl was the prettier sister. Too bad she doesn't see it.
She is the younger, but not the prettier. Even the selection of actresses is on point, I think the actress for the old sister was an 7/10 at the age of 25, and the younger sister is now around 25 and is a 6/7 , but now the older sister at the age of lets say 37 , is a 5.5/10, and has a kid.
@@georgiosdoumas2446 - Good one Georgio. So where do you rate your mom?
Nah, the older one has never been pretty. She just thinks she is.@@georgiosdoumas2446
@@glen7228😅
That's a hornets nest that didn't need kicked.
This film broke my heart and also made me laugh out loud. This explores the complexities of "beauty" and power dynamics in gender roles. How these roles are made and defined. How we can choose to conform or not. And how we can do better for our daughters. Bravo!! Where is the series??!!
The kid was old enough to know to keep her mouth shut when everyone was trying to smooth things over. She really stepped in it.
I can understand which sister is wrong. But the smarter and kinder sister shouldn't make bet either. She should leave her sister's company. And Find someone better, like that dude. Also i am not paying either. I would have payed what i ate and left that place, if i was that dude.
I prefer going Dutch anyway - and I'm a woman. The last thing I want is to make men feel they have to pay for me. And I don't want to owe them anything (or if they insist, at least not owe them much).
Same here.
Mom’s toxic, sister’s insecure and projects, little girl runs her mouth too much and a random stranger gets dragged into their weird mess after just trying to be nice. This ended too abruptly for me to understand what the point of the short was.
Also, is it just me, or was it weird that the stranger to asked if the dad wasn’t in the picture? Like it was a weird thing to ask someone you just started talking to lol
It is normal to ask, since he invited them for dinner, and they had an eye contact where the mother showed some interest after keep smiling and looking at him, then they accepted the invite, so he just wanted to make sure she is single.
I agree about the ending b/c the way the girl picked up the lipstick as if excitedly and inexplicably choosing her mother's way of life while still confused and saddened. I disagree the girl was 'running her mouth'. Ouch. she was just trying to learn the subtext like kids are supposed to but adults so often gaslight.
Asking if the dad was in the picture is just a way of seeing if she's available. A lot of single moms are treated invisible cuz a lot of guys of dating age don't want to be burdened with someone else's kid. This guy could've been a jewel b/c he showed he was okay with it.
Asking how to split the bill is awkward b/c it's about finding a person's intentions. "Let's go Dutch" or splitting the bill implies either 'thanks, but not interested' or 'maybe, but not ready to decide whether to go further or how far yet'. It basically sends the message of "I don't want to feel 'under obligation'." Letting him pay suggests you want to pursue it.
It's so awkward b/c nobody wrote these rules and everybody plays by their own. The mom showed she was just trying to use the guy as a sugar daddy when he asked about the bill but she was accidentally outed for it by her daughter's reaction. She basically implied to the guy, 'I got no use for your broke ass. Here, you can have my sister'.
@dwight.schrute3920 Precisely! everyone seems to be missing the fact that HE suggested the dinner. "Have dinner with me" was an invitation. The person who suggested the dinner should pay. No one forced him to invite them out. Then to be upset about a bill at a burger joint that YOU suggested going to was weak. Men these days are so disappointing Smh.
@@livhines7372 But, when's the last time you've seen the woman initiate the date? The majority thinks it's the man's job. So it is a catch 22.
"Have dinner with me" is an invitation to spend time together.
Dad dodged a bullet 😂
Actually, he got shot. That's why he was a dad.
But then later he went and got the operation to extract the bullet. After the surgery is where our story picks up.
At 0:56 he asked the women to have dinner with him. Whenever I ask a woman to have dinner with me, I pay. It’s what real men do.
I found the subject matter of this short film disturbing. Here we are in 2024 and some women think a complete male stranger should pay for your family’s meal. It is very generous and kind whenever someone treats you. No character judgement should be made if a man does not offer to pay for the meal if you are not on a romantic date. The young girl should be learning that no one needs to pay for her. If you don’t have money to go out then you stay home. Depending upon the financial state of some men it doesn’t matter how pretty you are. They might need to be blessed with a free meal due to limited finances.
I would appreciate seeing people work harder for themselves and not expect others to foot their bills.
Romantic relationships are different because someone is trying to impress you by being kind and generous.
When you don’t expect anything from someone you don’t have to worry about them feeling you need to return the favor sexually.😊
9 minutes full of thought and social commentary. Great work Jennifer Rau and team!
People in the comments are delusional thinking a total stranger should be paying for an entire family just because he proposed to go to a burger joint together. Would be another story if this was a one on one date, but it is not.
He invited them to go to The Burger Joint and he knew how many there were of them and therefore he should pay this time. There's nothing left to argue about.
This is because of his intentions. He wanted to attract the woman he liked, so he would not want to give her an impression he was a pinchpenny. He was definitely interested in her flirting with him, he wanted to impress her - otherwise he would not suggest to a group of ANY strangers to dine together and would not have asked if she was single or not. He did not offer to dine together because he was bored killing time alone in his room, then the situation would be entirely different, - he was hoping for more. That is why he should pay, not because he is a male. Basically, he wanted to attract her by giving a good impression and he was paying for her time with the meal.
That kid is great!
That's why I always go Dutch on first dates. Lot of women just take advantage for a free meal.
In the end, most, if not all, women expect to be cared for on one level or another.
You have those who are honest about it and those who are hypocrites.
@@craigjohnson4302 You can't lump all women together like that; see my comment above.
Unless all the women you've dated do that, then you don't have accurate data for that assumption, because that would mean, you have poor vetting skills and you're blaming women because of your lack of ability to choose better.
Craig isn't wrong. Most, if not all, women DO want cared for in some way or another. As do most, if not all, men. Anyone seeking companionship is doing so for a reason. Be it social, sexual, or financial, everyone wants something from having a partner.
If a woman expects a man who is not her boyfriend, husband or father to pay for her meal because she’s pretty, she should be left with the bill. The mother wasn’t that pretty. Certainly not on the inside.
But the worst part is , it wasn't even a date 🤦♀, the sister and little kid was along for the free food, so it was ridiculous how they expected him to pay . Plus if it was a date with just him and the dark haired sister ......... there's always the chance they don't see eachother again, so yeah it' very presumptuous to expect the man to pay ....however it's different paying for 2 meals instead of 4 .
I think the " not prettier sister " was prettier....
This was so well done. I think there should be part 2???
I definitely want a part 2. My imagination says she returned to the bar and he wasn't there. So she contemplated going on a mini bar hop. She ends up at one bar, finds a wallet near the restroom and gives it to the bar tender. She suddenly thinks it's ridiculous and retreats back to the room. But as she is exiting, bumps right into his chest as he is returning to find his wallet. She convinces him to let her pay for a drink, she makes up, and they make out. Next morning, the mom returns to her room with a bucket of ice and hears the door behind her. Instead of Steve coming out, it's her sister wearing Steve's shirt. And she gives her a smirk.
They tried to film a part 2 called "20 years later" but couldn't find enough cats.
@@QueeferSutherland1 Lol.
As a gay woman I think: who does the invitation and take the iniciative first should pay... you don't know if the other person can afford the date... and if you go to another date, after knowing better about each other, you can manage better the situation...
I agree. "Coffee, means 'low-key, casual, buy your own, no obligations, just figure out if your both interested in pursuing'. It's so much simpler. Dinner means "My treat."
This one was awkward b/c he asked what he thought was a single woman to have dinner, then finds out she's the mom, two more people invite themselves because they're a unit, they gotta go out and eat anyway so he's not sure if it's a date or if he's just suggested they eat where he's going to be eating and playing anyway.
If someone already knows they are willing to pay, they would mention it while asking, and not leaving it to the imagination.
If the person doesn't say that they intend to pay it simply means that they don't. So the person who is asked can answer depending on that, if they're okay with probably paying themselves or not.
There can always be a surprise at the end of the meal, but a person who accepts to come when paying was not mentioned should be ready to pay. That's very simple for me.
No thanks! Free stuff only!
They were staying at a hotel, they can clearly afford to pay for a meal.
@marianadave5392 Initiative*, iniciative isn't a word.
Awesome work Jenna!
❤❤❤ thanks for watching!
He should check if Julie’s father in the picture or not before he manages to take them to dinner.
The man shouldn’t have invited or suggested they all go out.
Great short film!
Wait...who is the pretty one!?
Apparently the older single mother.
Yeah... that's been a long established fact. and they know it.
None of them. Nothing about any of them was pretty.
@@gaelsdottir5046 thank you!! I was so confused!! I looked @ each and asked myself, is she pretty!? The answer was no to all!!
When I first saw the mom... I thought she was pretty. But when the brat appeared, she became something best avoided.
I never expect anybody to pay for me. I’m always prepared to pay, but if the guy that I’m out with wants to pay for my meal, I will let him. and it’s really not that complicated.
Wow. This one had "OUCH!" written all over it, from all angles. Very well done short! I hope "dad" doesn't come up for the birthday; if he's smart he'll stay in Tampa.
Why? He is still the father and has responsibilities as such. You can divorce a partner, not children. Children are for life.
Impressive work! Everything is as should 👌
I get a couple of things from this. First, the girl (as children often do) serves as a metaphor for "what is said in darkness will come to light." People are often willing to think these things and reason around these things, but they will never communicate these things. The other thing I get is a lot of empathy for this girl. Between her mother and her aunt, she is given all of this conflicting information about how to enter the adult world, and she's still just a child. I don't really see this as a remark on traditional versus progressive values; I see it more as a remark on how adults arguing over these things and wrapping their children up in it creates a really confusing environment for kids where the rules just don't feel so clear, anymore.
The way all of this plays out is so painfully awkward, and I think a lot of that seems to be directed by the mother who is engaging in flirting gestures one moment and trying to wrap her sister up in the whole situation, the next, so that it's not even clear who is on this "date." (Which shouldn't even involve children!) I'd have put more blame on him for asking out a whole family, but it doesn't feel like he was trying to do that so much as awkwardly trying to continue the moment that was happening before Aunt and Daughter showed up. Mom comes off like a con artist trying to get a free meal for her and the girls for the night, so she is definitely the antagonist here.
Jealousy is one of the most useless , and negative feeling.
Love it. 🖤
The man also had ulterior motives.
After all, he invited them all out in hopes of getting on the mom's good side.
No need for him to be offended, IMO.
literally every person in this story handled it the wrong way
This is an interesting short story that depicts the duality and expectations of humans in dating interactions. In the context of the story, it's inconsiderate of the ladies to put the man in that position. Although, this is likely not uncommon. And probably good reason to make it into a film. Humans are curious creatures!
I guess I sort of expected the guy to pay not because he's male, but because he invited them out. If I invited a group of three people out, I would expect to pay for everyone. Much more than that, I would lay out payment expectations and options (group of four, maybe I would suggest that I pay for everyone, and they pay the tip) (group of five or more, I would say "you wanna grab a bite with me? Everyone pays for themselves?") before the event. I certainly wouldn't wait until the bill came before clarifying who pays!!
Why the hell was the credits so long and big for this? 😂
It's my understanding that whoever does the inviting, should pay. He should've paid or made it understood before going.
Well written and directed, acted acceptably. The kid was the standout actor really.
Based on the vitriol of these comments, though, things must be pretty bad in America. It's just dinner.
I thought this was going somewhere and then it just ended.
I think a first date should be just coffee and a walk. Get to know one another.
Thank you for chiming in!
This is one of the most horrifying films I've ever seen on Omeleto - and I just watched one in which a family died in an arson attack. This poor guy, finding himself bankrolling the three witches from Macbeth.
I feel sorry for the kid.
I saw the arson one too, it was horrible
@@dfb2913 Both horrible, in very different ways
@@Catherinzsl you're right
I don't understand why he was mad with the sister who thought they should go dutch.
It’s funny how we draw conclusions. It was never made clear to us which sister was the one in whom the man was most interested. Despite flirting a bit with Jess, he asks about Mindy’s marital status.
Hate that the series of events led the daughter to put on makeup. Was she taking influence from her mom in that way, but then she also dove maybe like her aunt? Feel like those were the individual outcomes to reflect how a child is influenced by adults. Feel like the short should have chosen one or the other at the end instead of both. Many thanks for the share.
I don’t think she did put on the makeup. I think she chose the aunts route of autonomy from men vs. the coquettish divorced mothers way.
Well done.
A rather subtle examination of gender role expectations in society and the first signs of rebellion. Well done to all.
A true story.
🔥🔥
Who ever invites pays right?😅
Funny how most comments are about whether or not he should pay. I don’t think the film is about that at all. Though… not sure what it _is_ about. That ending is a bit strange.
I think the message was of stereotypes for women abd men and how they are supposed to be one way and it think at the and where it shows the no diving sign it basically just means the daughter is rebeling maybe
I used to believe in "Dutch" in my 20s, but now, in my 40s, it's whoever asks should pay. I don't know why he would ask all 3 of them out, considering the child would be looked after by the woman he didn't want. However, he should have asked the one woman out and paid. In the land of pretend equality, I believe the person who asks should pay. Good film!
This attitude changes as one's income changes.
I'm 53 and I still think that the bill should be shared unless one of the 2 or more wants to pay for everyone.
Steve dodged a bullet.
In my opinion, this is not a matter of gender but who invites whom. If a woman invites a man to a dinner she should pay. But in many cultures women taking initiative are frowned upon, so it is not common at all. If the person who invites others expects that everyone pays for themselves this should be made clear at the moment of invitation.
He was hoping to spend time with the woman he liked, that is why he invited them. And he did have a good time by the looks of it. So, he was not paying for the dinner but for the time with her he enjoyed. She, clearly, was not that interested, even though she made it look as if she was. Misleading him into thinking he had a chance with her was very wrong of her. But this is what many pretty and charming people of both genders do, so, in a way, is to be expected. He took his chances and lost.
Two women teach the third how to blame men in their life problems
I'm a 73 yo man. and I feel like the women hurt the man......took advantage. what did he get in return? Is an exchange expected? It's a hard field to negotiate.
I feel bad for the kid; what a toxic mother, feeding her kid ideas that her value is based on her "prettiness".
Ty for the vid
What a set up that was! Complete success!
If women are still fighting for equal rights and can do anything a man can do, then women should pay the bill when appropriate. History states that because women weren't earing any money, the man paid because the woman had no money. It's lot different now. As for this short, the man should have paid because he asked all of them out.
I liked how an average looking actress was used to play the older sister role who thought she was so desirable. It made her character even more unlikable because we know "you're the only one who thinks you're hot". And the way she talked was just too much for me. Wow - she was so annoying & delusional about herself! No wonder she is still single & put people in an awkward situation in order to get a free meal!
family's!
Daughter probably learnt an important lesson. Could have been handled a bit better. Everyone was at fault. Except perhaps for the younger sister. She tried to fix it. But the daughter must have been so dense.
The younger sister was the one who made the bet, and she did so in front of her niece. So she's partially at fault too
And thats how they do it
I just discovered omeleto 😊
I think here man fault by saying have "dinner with me"
Morever if he still not like paying for whole he should say dutch it is.
11 year olds have never been known for tact
Look who is teaching her and what she is learning! Tact ain't got anything to do with it!
She's the hero of the story. He deserves to know.
I don't get it
From what I understand, the dark-haired woman is angry because she's tired of her sister acting like she knows everything when she's often wrong. especially after the sister set up the dark-haired woman with the guy and the guy left her. Then the sister has the audacity to assume the dark-haired woman did something wrong to the guy. I don't blame the dark-haired woman. When I was single and looking I would get very angry at people like the sister who live in a delusion.
The sister is angry because her prettier sister lives in a world of privilege due to her prettiness and not in the world of experience of non pretty people. Because things didn't go her way (him paying) and getting embarrassed for being outer by her daughter, she chose to leave and also passing her not so pretty sister off as a consolation prize.
@@teevee-ej6zm ... I like your answer better. It's more accurate.
I think it's about the little girl observing her mother and aunts different perspectives and actions when it comes to men and dating. Maybe the no diving sign and her doing it anyway means she decided not to follow the "rules" when it comes to those things. Everyone should be free to do what they want, no expectations based off gender stereotypes.
@@luckied7542"The audacity to assume" would actually be 'psychological projection'. Related to the reason for the girls father being "out of the picture."
He invited them right? He pays… The way he dumped her is so bad…
Well he was annoyed to find out they bet about their virtues, assuming, he could have reacted much much worst, for example could have just dump enough cash in the table to cover his expenses and get out... which would be quite rude but perfectly reasonable given the case
She called him broke without even knowing him and they placed abet on whether or not he would pay. The way they treated this random stranger was so bad….
@@pathetic2399 I think she called him broke in a fit of jealousy with her sister. She told her sister "he likes you they all do" and it's like as a jab against her sister and as a try to convince herself he wasn't that good to begin with, she says he's a musician and broke. But at the beginning she obviously was kinda attracted to him, until she noticed he had his eyes on her sister, and even confirmed that by asking whether the father is in the picture.
I like paying or going dutch, but he should've offered to pay as he invited them. Then, if they're like me, they could decline the offer.
Yes, young lady, do it your way.
Ok
Coming of age film
for the daughter?

So let me get this straight, the guy invited THEM to dinner and then expected them to go Dutch? Coz he was trying to wiggle out of paying for the whole bill. If you invite someone out to eat, you're paying, because it's an invitation. Yes, the daughter needed to be taught some manners and the Mother dumping the younger sister off was rude and condescending. Now that I think about it, all three of them were in the wrong.
The "pretty" sister has approached the WALL, and any man would go for the unmarried younger sister. Maybe 12 years ago the older sister was much prettier than the younger sister, but age (and lack of divorce) is also very important. In reality only a divorced man that already has kids from his failed marriage, would pursue the older sister.
Lots of miscommunication and bad decisions on display in this short. One: he foolishly invited them all without clarifying the payment situation up front, either when he made the invite (best) or before they all ordered at the burger joint. Very, very naive on his part. Two: the sister with the kid took full advantage without cautioning her daughter to keep her yap shut. The girl who made the bet was a simpleton and got exactly what she deserved. The little girl had no business spilling the beans regardless of the mother's failure to warn her. The guy should have thrown down cash for his own share and immediately split; he treated them far more kindly than they had any reason to expect.
Good, thought-provoking short.
truly wicked.
It does hurt to be pretty cause you will be objectified.
And the Sisters was Mad cause the man wanted the blond type and the blond type know this from the beginning.... the blondy Type left maybe on purpose the table?
Well, first of all the rule is that if you ask someone out you pay for them but in case this gets to an awkward place you be adult and offer to split the check. The sisters fouled up the situation with the bet and laid the road that the daughter accidentally walked down by spilling the story. It's an indictment of the character of the two women but the musician can walk away having had some nice company for an evening. Great story and great, great acting.
ha ha, all the deadbeat dads come to Florida
Awkward much 😂
The truth is is that he invited them to dinner. Therfore he should pick up the tab.
Yes that's just incredible. The one who is inviting, man or woman, is the one who pays. I don't get this one.
Exactly.
That's a horrible dating system. The women would almost never pay.

Nonsense. Whomever offers the invitation, whichever gender, naturally should pick up the tab unless another type of payment, such as "dutch", is decided in advance.
@@tobe-you-tube6612 Women virtually never invite men out.
So a young lady learns what is to be a woman, or how genders are supposed to work, she grows up early unfortunately, and basically learns to do what she wants in the end, hence the smile and diving into a no diving zone.
Oookay….
I don't like the word "pretty"
Neither of them really qualified for that.
??? I found myself not understanding these shorts anymore!
I had to watch it like three times to get it
What is this?
Is the absurdist humor or just bad writing?
Laziness from the creator.

They all sucked but in general he should have paid since he was the one who invited them out. If they had invited him then they pay. It's simple but they all sucked, including the bratty kid.
The man initiated the idea of them all going to dinner together therefore it has nothing to do with male chauvinism but just has to do with common sense. He pays this time and next time we'll see.
No for real, it doesnt make any sense to ask someone out and make them pay.
Ugh! Due to so many guys giving the ending of the story away in the comments I was not allowed to see ending of the film as it should’ve been viewed.
No, that's down to you and your mind, not other people's comments. Be real.
Why read comments before you watch a 📸 video
@@happydan20 Is that a question?
So next time watch the video before reading the comments. Is this your first time on UA-cam?
Nnno, it's due to you reading the comments before watching the video. Of course people are going to discuss the vid here after watching it. Of course there will be spoilers here.
Don't blame others when you encounter spoilers where spoilers are naturally going to be found.
