📝 AITAH for turning down a planned date after he sent a vid of his current date?

This has bothered me for a while and I’m hoping for some insight. Thanks!

I matched with a guy over the holidays and we chatted for several days. Lots in common (looking for long term supposedly) and he was saying all the ‘right’ things. We plan a date where I’d meet him for brunch in his hometown. I was excited.

Not 20mins later!! He sends me a snap of the date he is currently on! It’s brunch with a lady in a crowded restaurant.. No text, just the video, and it wasn’t a mistake.

Immediate red flags in my book, but we’ve built enough rapport that I feel comfortable telling him hey I’m confused, it’s inappropriate, what were you expecting from sharing that?

He says he thinks it’s entirely appropriate, that he prides himself on being honest and open about his dating life, that a first date doesn’t mean exclusive. I agree with that last bit, but that doesn’t mean send a video of the woman while on a date with her.. to your next date ??

I told him no, absolutely inappropriate, and he dragged the convo out, saying we’re grown adults we can work this out.. I told him there’s nothing to work out and never saw him.

Honestly she looked miserable, so more evidence I dodged a bullet. But what was he thinking he’d get out of this? What was the logic?
