Woman Says Date Was 'Embarrassed' by Her Outfit and Sent Her Home in Viral Video

A woman went viral on TikTok after she claimed that her date sent her home in an Uber because he was "embarrassed" by her outfit.

The video, found here, was posted to the app over the weekend by Nikki Jabs (@nikki.jabs) and has since racked up more than 7 million views.

"It's been 3 weeks. I spent 40 min on my makeup to meet his friends and coworkers at a grand opening for the retail company he works for," the video's text overlay reads.

"He was too embarrassed to be seen with me in this outfit, so he sent me home in an Uber and went to the opening without me," the overlay continues.

In the video, Jabs shows viewers that she's wearing a cropped shirt, high-waisted pants and heels. She is also wearing a long coat.

In a follow-up video with nearly 4 million views, Jabs says that her date felt that her outfit was too "revealing" for a work function, but adds that he works for an athleisure company and wore "stretchy casual athleisure pants" and running shoes.

She also reveals in the video that her date commented on her appearance multiple times throughout the week leading up to the event.

"He has told me multiple times this week that I've been overdressed and has encouraged me to wear a baggy sweater," reads the text overlay at one point in the video.

Jabs isn't the first person to have a date or partner comment on their style.

In fact, in 2016, sex educator Lena Solow answered a Teen Vogue reader question on the same topic.

"My boyfriend says the way I dress at the beach is too revealing—he says I shouldn't wear bikinis or short shorts. I don't want to make him feel bad, but I like my style. What should I do?" the reader asked.

At the beginning of her response, Solow explained: "Society tries to tell us that men own women's bodies, and that women only dress to get approval or attention from men. Whether he realizes it or not, your boyfriend is responding to those messages, not to your cute beachwear."

She then advised the reader to stop and think about their relationship. Was the comment part of a larger pattern, or was it a one-off remark? If it was the latter, she advised the reader to address her boyfriend head-on.

"You could say something like, 'I feel uncomfortable when you try to police what I wear,'" Solow offered.

She also reminded the reader that the issue was would not be solved by compromise.

"This is a situation where someone is trying to exert control over your bodily autonomy and, simply put, he's wrong," Solow wrote.

Many of Jabs's viewers felt that her date's comments were controlling.

"Pushing boundaries to see what he can get away with. Controlling behavior," wrote Kim.

"He was trying to dull your shine to remove competition. He knows you looked good and was afraid you'd find better," commented Demoninic.

VanessaSPI said: "It's about control. Be grateful you caught it now and [not] when you're truly invested.

LemonLimeLaura added: "If your attire was that important & specific, he should have been clear beforehand. Kick him to the curb."
