Keila, the creator behind @keiilarodriguez, dropped a line that became a topic of conversation: to her, it’s “tacky” for a man to invite someone to have mate in a plaza. According to her take in the video, a date should include a snack costing at least $30.000 Argentine pesos (about 20 dollars).
Her opinion divided those who saw it. Some defend having mate in the plaza as a genuine, affordable plan that’s much more honest than spending extra to impress. On the other side are those who think an invitation should show some effort, and that sitting on a bench with a thermos isn’t enough.
The clash goes beyond a snack: is a date measured by how much is spent or by the desire to spend time with someone? Which side are you on?
