“The Barbie movie means a lot to me.”
A woman has shared her story to Reddit after cancelling her date after he refused to wear pink to the Barbie movie.
The unnamed woman took to the Reddit community ‘Am I The A**hole‘ to explain how excited she was about the new Margot Robbie film and how her excitement wasn’t reciprocated by her date.
She wrote: “The Barbie movie means a lot to me, I’ve been looking forward to this movie for so long.
“I’ve asked my boyfriend to go to the cinema with me, both dressed in pink. It would show that he supports me, and it’d just be fun.”
Spoiler alert: he didn’t think it sounded fun.
Continuing her post, the woman explained that her boyfriend didn’t fancy dressing up in pink to go to the cinema and wrote: “I told him wearing pink is minimum effort, he says minimum effort is him coming along to the movie. AITA for finding this unreasonable?”
The anonymous woman added: “We’ve decided to cancel the date since the mood is already ruined. Despite what the title says, we’ve made this decision together.”
She also said that if the roles were reversed and he had asked her to wear ‘one of those Oppenheimer hats’ she would’ve done it in a heartbeat.
While the story certainly divided opinion, many sided with her boyfriend saying: “Don’t pressure your partner into something you know is not comfortable for them.”
Another wrote: “Why is he forced to wear something he doesn’t want to.”
Others, however, sided with the girl, writing: “Bro just wear pink.”
Whose side are you on?
