Seen something like this before. Guy was testing his date to see if she would correct him and she would fail if she did.

That's.... completely mental.

Sounds like the guy was doing them a favor helping them dodge a bullet.

I remember reading Ron DeSantis (governor of Florida) said he did this on dates. He would say Thigh Food for Thai food. If they corrected him he wouldn't date them again.

He's married now and I wonder if his wife ever offers to pick up Thigh food for dinner.

Honestly (if I played stupid games like this, which I do not), I'd be more likely to date them again if they correct me. I want someone who will tell me if I mispronounce a word I've only read, or have a booger, or smell bad, etc. When it happens organically I always appreciate it unless they're a dick about it.

I do love some thigh food. The nectar of the gods.

I also love how he does the red flag ass version of this. He must be right. Not like playing mental games is ever great, but nothing more nail on the head than a Republican looking for subservience and weak will.
