A 39-year-old woman from New York City left a first date after discovering her companion had lied about being a parent. She had confirmed his non-negotiable life choices, including his parental status, during a pre-date phone call and through her dating profile, both explicitly stating she does not want children.

Her action received praise from women and even activist Amanda Nguyen, who supported her firm stance. The woman stated that honesty is paramount and that she hopes other women feel empowered to leave situations where they are disrespected.
