So much context missing to tell if the guy did good or not. He could be being a prick or just standing up for himself. In any case, this is definitely100% both fake but plus moreover besides also gay.

"Can I bring a friend?"

"Um, I'd rather they stayed home. And well, I didn't want to say anything earlier, but I kind of wanted to stay home, too. You have fun though!"

You could have just missed your shot at a threesome. Way to go, 😄

Ass

I'm cool with someone deciding to do this.

I mean, I'll decide not to go on the date, but that you do you.

Your lack of ability to judge my character leading up to the date, and the general sense of paranoia leading to a decision like this, aren't qualities I'm looking for in a partner.

Neither is starting things from a place of outright suspicion. Like. I'm not judging. I just have zero interest.

I'd be up for a few dates where the girl brings her friends, as long as she makes it clear beforehand that they're coming. But not a last minute "by the way, my friends are coming."

I don't mind meeting more new people.

Has a date where some chick brought her friend ever resulted in a good date?

Sounds like setting yourself up to create conflict in a relationship that doesn't even exist yet.

There's no other way to read this besides "I think you are a horrible person so I need protection on our public date, why am I going on a date with a horrible person? I wanted dinner"

That's how it reads every single time, and men are expected to be cool with it, or they are proven to be horrible like previously assumed.

It doesn't matter if they made themseves afraid of men or not. It's a set of ideals rooted in misandry, and it doesn't help women or men.

It looks like I’m going on a double date.
