Dating coach Ella Freimann believes that women should never split the bill on a date as it allows them to maintain their “dignity” and avoid negative experiences with men. Freimann, who shares dating advice on her TikTok page to over 20,000 followers, claims that women can learn from gold diggers and should never go Dutch on a date. According to her, splitting the bill indicates that a man does not know his role in a relationship and does not value the time and effort that a woman puts into looking her best for him.
Freimann, a 24-year-old influencer from New York who is in a relationship, offers one-on-one advice to women on dating. She attributes her ideas about dating to growing up in a home where her father provided financially for her stay-at-home mother. Despite being labeled as a “gold digger” by some people due to her beliefs, Freimann does not necessarily see it as an insult. She believes that women should have high standards in dating and that any man who suggests splitting the bill or a coffee date is not serious about his role in a potential relationship.
Critics have called Freimann selfish and misogynistic, and some have even resorted to derogatory terms and name-calling. However, Freimann pays little attention to people’s perceptions of her and believes that women should ensure that a man is able to provide for them before considering a relationship. She claims to have helped clients find stable partners who have provided for them and helped them establish their businesses while focusing on themselves.
