The viral list of 28 places women refused to go on the first date has sparked a major debate online, Ocho. The list quickly gained traction as people argue over what qualifies as an acceptable first impression spot. The debate reflects on shifting dating standards among younger generations, with many women emphasizing effort, creativity and intentions over convenience and affordability. People pointed out the first date often sets the tone for how serious or respectful someone is about pursuing a relationship. While many agreed that casual chain restaurants aren't ideal, others defended them as comfortable and affordable options, especially in today's high cost economy. Ocho, there they go.
There is the list.

**Chad Johnson** (1:02)
Goddamn. Hold on. I know as far as I can see.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:05)
That's one thing I can't really, I can see it, but I can't zoom in on it.
Cheesecake Factory, Applebee's, Chipotle, Olive Garden, The Movies, Your House, any fast food chain, Buffalo Wild Wings, Wingstop, Red Lobster, a buffet, IHOP, Denny's, The Gym, Church. Y'all going to hell. Starbucks, Coffee Date, Ice Cream Date, Family Functions, Movie Night, Netflix, Hulu, et cetera, somewhere that requires a long drive, bowling, nightclub, hookah bars, a bar just for drinks, Waffle House, sports events. Damn, where can we take you? He's saying, hold on, those are places that they don't want to go? They don't on a first date.

**Chad Johnson** (1:50)
Hey, Joe, hey, Unc, Joe, and this is for the people in the chat.
None of this matters. That list is cool. That list is for the dudes. That list is for the dudes that she really doesn't like. I don't like you, so I'm going to set a certain set of rules that you can't break. But if it's the dude that I do like-

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:18)
It don't matter what we doing.

**Chad Johnson** (2:20)
It don't matter what we doing.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:21)
Drive around the city.
Yeah. Ocho, you know, I'm from a country town, Joe. You pick your girl up and you just drive around the city. Yeah, yeah. You sit up by, you know, I have a pickup truck. She sit up under you, we drive around to the stoplight, you know, we go to the Daring Queen, or Hardee's or something like that. Maybe grab a movie, Ocho.

**Chad Johnson** (2:39)
That's right.
Hey, Joe Unc, when I see stuff like this, man, I laugh, man. I laugh because there's certain women that can pull stuff off like this, telling certain type of men where they won't go and what they won't do until a certain type of caliber of man comes along. And then it's okay.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:59)
Ocho, me and you going to all these spots, me and Ocho going.

**Chad Johnson** (3:04)
Hey, listen, everything they name, that's stuff that I actually do. That's the stuff that I actually do, Joe. I don't meet people and try to set up a precedent of, oh, this is how you're going to be 48
It's not going to be like that. That's not the way I can keep it up. But being that there are so many dudes, there are so many, whether they have it or not, that set the standard and move like that. They move like this right away as if that's how it's going to be all the time. Just to get the... Obviously, Unc, you know, Joe, come on now, Chad. Let's just be honest.
For the men, they set the standard and they shoot high purposely to hurry to get to their end goal fast.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:53)
They speed up the process, Ocho?

**Chad Johnson** (3:56)
They're trying to speed up the process. So, they show off, they do all this stuff in the beginning, going crazy. They take you to Chris Ruth and TKS, and all these restaurants. Joe, they go above and beyond, Joe, they go above and beyond just to reach their end goal faster. You know, after a few months, all that shit papers off and the cycle repeats itself. Hey, look. Hold on.

**Shannon Sharpe** (4:21)
Let me ask y'all this. Hold on.
On the first day, you taking somebody to a family function?
On the first, not the first, because that's when they got number 20 I mean, guys do that, y'all take somebody on the family function. It depends on what type of family function. Like, you know, you know. No, you can't go around the, not the first time, Joe. I'm saying, what if, what if, what if, what if you got some family members and y'all doing like a little bowling joint? You know what I mean? You tell. No, she can't come around the family. Because what if she don't come back around? Man, hey, if you bring somebody else, hey, where that girl you saw? I saw you with the other time, Joe. Now, what?
