Good one

@@nevillecreativitymentor Thanks
Lmaoo ded
@@angamiaccent We all have sinned lied, lusted, disrespected parents, stolen etc Therefore none of us are good and able to get into Heaven. But God out of His love sent his son Jesus (also God in Human flesh) to die on the cross for our sins and rise again from the dead (nobody can do that only God). Jesus said if you Repent of your sins and put your complete trust in Him for your salvation, you’ll have eternal life, given to you as a free gift. John 14: 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Barbara: where do you live?
Entrepreneur: I am homeless
Barbara: You got a deal. You are a true entrepreneur
LITERALLY.
This made laugh 😂
... "and because you are a true entrepreneur, I am out."
Then Barbara would say “well you don’t even have housing so how you going to work? For this I am out”.
Because you’re living, I am out.
"You have a supportive and loving father. For those reasons I am out."
-Barbara
😂😂
DEAD
Jealous, perhaps?
LOOOL
I loved how Daymond and Mark came to her defense. It is completely unfair to have your destiny written out for you on the basis of something that is just untrue.
6:54 Barbara sucks.
Especially from a corpse
You know how profiling works?
It is basically what is most probable and that is built on data created in past.
Barbara told the truth but what she said is not in 100% of cases...but it is in significant majority.
so funny hahaha@@robnagy1408
@@vladeputinovic6128Tell that to like, most of the richest men alive today
Musk, Gates, Zuckerberg, Buffet, Arnault, Page, Brin, Balmer
Bezos and Ellison are the only ones that came from a "tough" background.
If someone comes from nowhere and achieves everything, it must be celebrated. But it doesn't mean someone only will get successful if they're poor
Or that 80% of the top 10 richest men alive should not be appraised by what they've achieved
Barbara is out of touch. There’s a difference between mega rich kids with no work ethic and entrepreneurs with a supportive family behind them
Exactly!
Like Paris Hilton..miss no work ethic no brain either
Amén
Always a stigma.
That’s what am saying…
Her dad supporting her has nothing to do with her business. Barbara's botox went straight to her heart.
This is the comment i was searching for! Having a father that supports your dreams isn't something that's going to hold you back, that showed that she had a strong foundation and support channel at home, which shows character and integrity of a man who raised this lady. Not all underdogs make it to the big leagues and not every big leaguer was an underdog.... Mark Zuckerberg, Bill gates, Tesla and Jeff B where never underprivileged who made it on top, they had a basic foundation of a good household and most of them went to private schools.
Ooohh burn 😂
@Katie Peaceskies, exactly, barbara was being a mean bitch for no reason.
Omg 😂😂😂😂😂
@@9847300768 other people who come on have no support
I've never had strong dislike for a Shark before, but Barbara had absolutely no excuse to tear into this girl for having a supportive family to keep her afloat while she starts a business. We should all strive to be like Melissa when we're young and like Melissa's father when we're old. Not every successful entrepreneur needs to have homelessness threatened to earn that success. For shame, Barbara. Kudos to Mark for his words and his offer, and I'm glad to see this company is doing incredibly well.
Just another excuse why she is out
Barbara is extremely biased when it comes to this. This is probably because her personal trauma being neglected by her parents, since she had 9 other siblings, and ran away at age of 16. Worked in real estate with no money and backs against the wall.
So now it seems that she resent those with a supportive family.
“Melissa when we’re young, and her father when we’re old.” Thank you so much for this. This is the best insight ever about this episode.
I mean, I'd love to have a supportive wealthy father so that I can chase whatever goals I want like Melissa while I'm young buuuuuuuuuuut I didn't win that lottery - so not sure what you mean by strive to be like her
not being shady just saying "strive" to have a different set of parents is baffling
i feel so bad for this girl. barbara is just entitled to her opinion and that’s it, so are we and it sounds like the majority of people watching think it was unfair of barbara.
sometimes even considering all factors on both parties.. women will still not support other women/make reasons not to.
barbara can’t compare herself to this young girl to the tee… that’s not fair, they’re different people going thru different processes with different products
That was a crummy thing for Barbara to say. Anyone who says they are "self-made" is usually someone who forgets to acknowledge that someone else either took a chance on them or invested time, money, or love in their future.
I know it was such a disgusting comment ! Very very unfair.. how dare she! Barbara's circumstances to her success have no nexus to this girl NONE it's so infuriating
damn so true
Lesson number one of being an entrepreneur, never say thankyou to people in your past.
“If Barbara’s right that means none of our kids can do anything on their own” well said by the RICHEST shark Mark Cuban!
Yeah can't imagine any of them letting their children go homeless nor letting their passions or businesses fail. If any of their children had a businesse idea they'd also have advisors, accounts, investors and who knows what else pop up giving advice just from having the family they have even if they didn't ask.
This girl went on indigogo to start her business and put in work to get it where it was at that point so even if her dad helped with her rent she made her businesse.
!!!! He’s always been my favorite
Barbara is a meme. She never buys into anyone
I'm not sure Mark is the RICHEST shark in the tank. I'm thinking the Bald guy is the RICHEST shark in the tank...
@@machinegunrilla8629 Mark is a Billionaire. The “bald guy” is no where near that
Imagine being a great dad and seeing your daughter graduate college and start her own business with support from you only to have her come home and tell you she got shamed for it.
Precisely! People who succeeded had divine connections and big breaks that came from support from others. There is nothing shameful about that.
What she said "I'm not comfortable investing my money if success isn't a necessity to you."
What spoiled kids heard "Your parents helped you so you don't deserve any success and I hope you fail!!!"
Don't be stupid.
It just makes for a better story, if you start from nothing, compared to having someone backing you up. People like these type of stories, but in the end it's the results that matter.
you realize this is a negotiation and not a charity?
Barbara could benefit from a little sensitivity training. If she wasn’t interested in the product all she had to say was I don’t think this one is for me. I wish you all the best but I’m out
This girl did become successful! She has a networth of 5 million in sales. Selling in USA and Canada, partnering with some big retailers like whole foods. She has been dubbed the best food item in shark tank history. Go girl go!
Edit: she took Mark's advice and has the original date flavor and also sells multiple flavors. I have tried this product myself (ate it prior to even knowing she was on shark tank). It's a 10/10 product and I highly recommend! :)
Tell me more
I'm glad she made the original date spread, my boyfriend wouldn't touch the other ones.
Does anyone know if this date spread is a good alternative to anyone who is allergic to peanut butter (and all nuts)? I’ve never heard of a date until now.
a date is a fruit @@leprechaun3677
@@leprechaun3677 Bro when she first came in she said it was all allergen free. Meaning the food doesn’t contain any ingredients that could cause allergic reactions to anybody with allergies.
What Barbara seems to have forgotten is that a lot of people give up on a business idea, because they have to get a job to pay the bills. This girl having a buffer gives her a chance to make this business work.
Amen!
You really said it there! I'm often struggling and have to take on lots of exhausting hustles, which detract from dreams of my own business projects. I love hearing about people who have the energy to keep fighting. I admire that. I admire this girl! I hope one day I can get there too. But parenthood changes priorities. You want it for them more.
Exactly
She obviously prefers people to be a little more desperate for her help. Possibly because they’re easier to control but also because self reliance is a marker for success
Perfectly rational though considering the business is being valued at $500k with only $30k sales
Interesting that nobody questioned the valuation, asked how the investment will be used or if there is a barrier to entry for competitors
She is sorta right. When I was in sales people who had a "buffer" didn't hustle like those for which it was do or die.
It's so ironic that Mark is easily the richest person on the show and he's also the kindest.
He just increased his fortune by tens of millions. An ace product.
@@richardjones3365 the company itself is only worth 4million. It won't be worth 10s of millions for years of ever.
Roberts the nicest
It’s usually between Mark and Robert the nicest ones
@@Love-sg5pp yeah but mark likes to interrupt and isn’t very respectful while Robert is more of a gentlemen so I’d say he takes the award of nicest shark.
oh god the way they broke her down was so bad, she's not a entitled brat, she is a hard working person with a good idea, dates are amazing.
I agree
The way “they”? it was pretty much just Barbara that attacked her
Hard working!? Are we talking about her biceps? Just on those alone, I would 💲upport her!!! 🦾
Foreal, I eat dates without anything and they are so good I truly think her spreads probably taste delicious
She doesn't know what it's like to struggle. To eat mustard sandwhiches like mark did.
Mark is a great father. He always thinks about his children whenever there are young people on the show.
Well that's stupid because this is a business show not cocomelon
@@TheMoramaExperience Life is short. Grow a heart.
Plus he has connections. The very fact this went on air already meant sales would skyrocket.
I'm surprised his offer didn't include meeting his daughters. Seems like most of his offers to young female entrepreneurs include that condition.
@TheMoramaExperience Mark is very wealthy and knows if she fails, nothing will change for him, but if it succeeds, there is a huge upside. Not to mention, he owns the show, so it does benefit viewership for him to make these types of deals.
WannaDate is still in business and has $5mill in sales.
Barbara telling her to be homeless is classic Barbara.
Wanna Date is valued at $2 million.
@@ericbige27so she quadrupled her initial valuation. Good for her.
Barbra is so creative and inventive in coming up with excuses to say no.
She’s a C
except when a hot guy comes in the tank then she’s all in 😐
I'm Barbara, and for that reason, I'm out haha
Barbra probably just broke 😂😂😂
"You have a rich daddy and for that reason I'm out." - Barbara.
Barbara actually made her cry. this girl didn't have everything handed to her; she has a supportive family. there's a big difference. i'm sure she'll be successful
She sounds like she sucked alot of helium before her presentation.
Her business has made about 4 million dollars, seems successful to me!
yup if she had everything handed to her, she wouldn't be on shark tank.
@@Gagegehris ya and in only 2 years even more impressive and they’re in Whole Foods
Barbara didn't pull tears out her eyes, she cried on her own because she's a cry👶
Barbara was super unfair in this one. There is no one type of person who succeeds. And for many cases, a parent’s support is CRUCIAL, not detrimental.
Barbra: your dad is supporting you in an expensive city, and for that reason I’m out.
I think she could have said it differently..Butthe point is if u don't have to worry about food and shelter, that is a Great burden that most have to deal with in addition to trying to incorporate a start up business..There is a security factor there..That is the point!
She is so sweet! She actually made me tear up when she started crying, having supportive parents is amazing and it shouldn't be considered a hinderance, if you can help your children out, why not do it? She came up with an idea on her own and she is doing all the work, her father should be proud! I'm glad she got a deal!
literally put water in her fire with her barbed words, that barbara
Exactly. Barbara seems to think that love is something bad...
She is super arrogant and bitter.
You are absolutely right she is very sweet and I am so happy for her! 😍😍🙂👍
It's just lack of understanding. They come from two different lifestyles.
Nothing wrong with loving parents supporting their kids dreams. Parents work hard so they can provide more for their kids than what they had growing up
Indeed and here you’re kid is aspirational and with a vision and product. That’s a decent thing to bet on. I mean if you don’t as a parent get with you’re then why would any one else as long as you’re kid is genuine.
100%!!!
I dream of being able to give my kid this opportunity
Yeah, just because she lives with her parents, doesn’t mean they are rich. It just shows that she has family who is supportive and gives her a roof. Steve jobs lived with his parents till apple took off
Exactly!
Just googled her product and she is on the shelves of Whole Foods, Kroger, and Ralph’s!
That’s awesome I wanna buy some now
Wow! I'm going go buy some
Good for her. I’m also going to buy some of her stuff on her website. She deserves to be supported.
I shop at Ralph's
that makes me really happy!
I’m not an advocate for rich spoiled people. But this girl seemed like an absolute sweetheart and are none of those things.
She's pitching to extremely wealthy people in business casual while wearing weekend clothing. That's just indicative of the age and mentality gap between her and Barbara. Even if Barbara was out of line, she was never going to work with this person.
The fact that she just graduated college means she was doing this full time while in school. Props to her!
Why is Barbara judging her just because her Dad helps her out? He’s being a supporting parent and that should be applauded.
Edit: Thanks for all the likes y’all!
Exactly
I actually agree with her. People who have everything to lose tend to put in more than those who have little/nothing to lose. I’m not saying that’s the case 100% of the time but since she has a backup if things don’t work out it’s less likely that she’ll push herself as hard when things go south, whereas people who don’t have a backup will put everything they have
Well, Barbara had to sink or swim in her business and that is understandable. But lots of people get parental support which certainly helps.
@@TheSkidds I've read her book. She was a waitress who met one of her customers and married him. They went into business together, after years together he left her for their secretary. She was sleeping on the couch of a friend when they broke up. They split up the agents, Barbara built the Corcoran Group into a premier brand by herself, not with the assistance of family or an ex-husband. She eventually sold it I believe for around 80 mil
@@shaemckenna568 At the same time, when you have everything to lose, a small hiccup can do just that - entirely sink the business. Having a support system behind you allows you to keep going and make changes if something doesn't go as planned. Of course, you can't rely on that forever, especially if it becomes obvious the business just won't work, but it definitely helps. It often takes YEARS to grow a business to the point where its just barely profitable, and having income or support coming in from elsewhere while you traverse through those difficult first few years it extremely important.
"Failure is when you quit. I don't quit."
Amen. Absolutely shame on Barbara for punishing her because she has a loving family behind her.
a rich family behind her
@@sabrinashelton1997 she said her parents aren't rich
@@Gr8Potato if they are paying rent for her in NYC which is here I thought she said she lives, then they are rich. Looking at a minimum of 1000 per month for rent.
@@sabrinashelton1997 Better for her!!!
@@sabrinashelton1997and then fcking what? I hate sooo much this “i hate rich people cause they are rich and im not” mentality. If you would be rich and have a child, then you would help that child too anyway you can.
Wow not only did Barbara insult her but a lot of people. My parents helped me during college because they wanted to see me succeed. And I put in effort on my part. If it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t be able to keep afloat or pursue my dream. I’m forever grateful to them.
This is so upsetting. Just because people have parents who can help them while they’re in college. And a bit after doesn’t mean they’re rich and had it easy. She seems like a sweet girl. I hope she doesn’t give up.
This demonstrates why Mark Cuban is not just a great businessman but a great human. I love how he countered Barbara's argument by saying: 'if that's true then none of our own children can make it and I refuse to believe that'. I really felt for this young girl trying to do her best and it was very hard to watch her cry. Well played Mark.
Yea mark is actually a really good person putting the show aside.
@@damianmlamb He's also one of the coolest billionaires ever. Every time I watch one of his interviews, he's so down to Earth and fun.
Hopefully mark will help shape her career and bring out the work ethic of a striving business person.
He's a good guy
You said it all!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Her dad is literally just doing what most parents are supposed to do and him making sure she is not homeless and starving is really great, because he knows she is trying to make a name for herself at such a young age
She graduated college. Her having a place to stay isn't her dad's responsibility.
Her student debt is most probably way higher than the investment she got too
@@Brown270TTV hmmm so not caring about your child after their old enough to support themselves is ok? Can you really call that a parent?

Shame on Barbara, the only wrecking ball. It was a low blow but fortunately Melissa demonstrated her strength and drive. When Mark came in with his offer, it was so uplifting to see how successful this will be! All the best to Melissa! I cannot wait to try it!
Up”date”: She is still in business! 4 million in total sales, and she reached out and acquired local New York Whole Foods shelves (no easy task)
Yes
Happy to her that
Hear
Thanks for the update
4 mil Units,or Dollar$?
She JUST graduated 3 weeks ago. The vast majority of college students are nearly entirely supported by their father/parents and that doesn't stop 30 minutes after graduation. How can they be bothered by that? That's completely ridiculous.
Good point!!
shes more fit than all of them
Believe it or not there are a lot of us who have to bleed and sweat to earn our way through life because we have no support system . These kids will never appreciate it as much .
@@holdiver307 I'm well aware. I'm one of them. However, being supported through college doesn't mean they don't understand the struggle or the work that success requires. I was supported by my father until I graduated. I lived in his house, but I paid for college. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate it or understand. That's an extremely narrow minded view to have, thinking you're better because you never got help.
@@Delicate_Disaster If you hadn't added what seemed to be passive aggressiveness at the end, then your point would be a lot more clear to me since it really threw me off of the original comment tone (My opinion doesn't matter much however). Since someone decided to reply to me though, I have to state what I feel about it is neutral since I have made the error of not making myself more clear. I understand what you meant in your reply to them.
Note: I edited this comment so more people don't respond in the same way and further make this whole reply section worse than it needs to be.
That girl seems very genuine and passionate, and she seems really crushed after hearing her dad is in her way. Which by the way doesn't mean much because he is maybe struggling too to make ends meet.
Ikr, we don't even know if her parents are divorced or her dad is widowed. Heck, we don't even know if her dad is struggling.
That woman has hustle, grit and determination. She'll be a success at whatever she does. Shame on Barbara.
For those who don’t know, wanna date is now sold in whole foods during the pandemic. I think it was impressive how she was able to sell during 2020
Good! I never saw dates like a yummy snack, now I wanna try it, looks so delicious
Good for her! That makes me happy 😊
Amazing
Oh my that’s amazing news! Hope her business is going through the roof! 📈
Does it still cost $12?
This is crazy. I don’t even like dates but listening to her pitch I would absolutely buy multiple flavors. Who cares if her dad supports her? She’s clearly passionate about this and as a sales woman SHE WAS EXCELLENT! She was clever and funny and very likable. I would absolutely support her brand.
“Shut up”
-Barbara Corcoran
RIGHT! Like sorry that her father cares about her and didn’t abandon her? I don’t think that should measure her strive to succeed
Lolll... U don't know business
Most people wouldn't be able to launch their own niche food business full time because they have work 40 hours a week to pay their rent. They would only be able to do it after work/on weekends after being tired from working all day. The fact that she doesnt have to do that is a HUGE luxury. That's why it's so much easier for rich kids to start their own businesses
@@MP-ef9yo Well a lot of people are homeless and cant find work. It's a HUGE luxury to have a job and rent to pay. Some people dont have rent to pay because they live on the streets, they cant even get a job because showing up to a job interview smelling an looking homeless is not a good look. They dont even have the luxury to work on their business projects because they can afford the resources and have no work space to start inventions, if they choose to. It's much easier for working class people to start up a business.
But I dont see Barbara investing in them. Get real, everyone has advantages & disadvantages in life. It was a shitty reason to deny her. If she was that rich she wouldn't need to be on this show asking for investments.
This is wholesome :) She's genuine and sweet, and the Sharks are very gentle with her! I'm glad that she got an offer!
She's got a genuine spirit & seems to have her heart into what's she's created; I feel with that combo she'll do well regardless
To know that you've put all your blood, sweat, and tears into a passion, and then have someone you probably looked up to, who you need something from, strip it all away without even knowing the details of your life... this would have me in tears too. My immigrant dad paid for my undergraduate degree by picking up a part-time taxi job on top of his full-time teacher job, just so I could start my life debt free... I must be a rich kid too. Barbara basically said: screw this girl for having a dad who loves and supports her dreams.
Agree!
She thinks having a family and a good support system is a bad thing?! Seems like jealously.
For real!

Same. I love dates too.
The estimated value of the pitch was $500,000, which was later justified by Mark Cuban to $303,030.3. The anticipated net worth of Wanna Date is $4 million. They have so far made sales of $4.7 million in 2022

Let’s go 🎉
My heart broke for her when she started crying, what a low blow Barbara. This young girl gave very good answers and was very mature and really showed she was dedicated to her business.
seriously i really felt some type of way a bout that😤
seriously, Barbara literally suggesting the difference between her being worth an investment and worth nothing is her level of poverty. Stupid

@@hackdotx4060 I wouldn't really call it an attack on her character, I think Barbara made a valid point.

Oh wow!!
I'm so happy she proved Barbara wrong!
Barbara's comments made me very angry. Glad Mark stuck it out

I think the sharks have been rich for so long, they have to understand that everyone’s life is different. Barbara grew up in a different time and plus NY is very expensive
This made me cry. Good for her! U go girl!❤❤
I'm so glad the guys came to her defense. Barbara was so out of line for saying that, how embarrassing for her to have that moment available for everyone in the world to see.
Truly embarrassing
Barbara possesses a lot of traits that are associated with a bad person. And this is just one of them.
For real! Just another case of women putting down other women when we really should be trying to help one another. Barbara’s behavior was so uncalled for and unnecessarily rude.
If Barbara wants to work with people who know their money, who did everything they could to create their business, thats on her. In this case, she feels like she would need to depend on the girls fathers money, not the girls money herself. She just wanted to explain why she wouldn't choose this type of person to make a deal with. Barbara believes in hard workers who grind as soon as they can have a job. she believes having jobs and building your own money is the biggest skill possible.
@@acslater457 Probably because that's what she's always had to do.
I'm glad the other Sharks stood up for her. It's about progression. Each generation worked hard for the next. Eventually, you get to the point where people can pursue a dream or an adventure. Her father being in a position to help her shouldn't be frowned upon, it should be applauded.

totally agree! and love what mark brought up. it’s very hypocritical to shame a girl for getting help from her parent when every single one of those sharks would financially support their own children fulfilling their dreams
Uncle Phil is the best
Precisely you have said it better than I would have!
That was dope you use a fresh prince reference
I hope this deal went through, and I hope that Mark didn’t make her abandon all the other flavors to start out because they’re a good option to have. I see his point of having plain flavor, but it doesn’t hurt to keep the ones she already has established.
barbara when parents be parents: “its too much of a risk im out”
Barbara has NEVER really expereinced the stress of almost losing her home or being completely homeless. She talks like she knows and for that reason I want her out.
I mean, she was couch surfing after her divorce apparently when she was younger. I wouldn’t say she’s never been threatened by homelessness.
Its her opinion and she is entitled to it. I kinda of get it but for an investment I don't see why that would matter unless they are deliberately acting spoiled or not caring.
@@gummy5862 So in other words she had other people supporting her?
Lol now I’m playing devils advocate. But who likes Barbara forreal ? Shes out of like 90% mid way thru the pitch. Buuutt I will say for you to even caps NEVER as if you know her whole story, is a bit much because clearly you don’t. She almost lost her whole business before she sold it for the 66 million. Not only that she completely built her business from the ground up with one loan from her ex for 1000$. She built her on real estate agency and published a magazine. So I’m sure in between being a millionaire she had some struggles.
@@nuclearpugg Except her opinion hurt a girl and was more likely than not blatantly wrong, she wants to act like her life's been on the line as an entrepeneur purely for her own ego
Barbara is an amazing shark, but how she romanticised poverty here as the great motivator is so intrinsically untrue and borderline insane/cruel. The real repercussions of not being able to pay your rent or afford food is horrific, and there’s no motivation in it. Wtf.
Well said. I found her reasoning to be incredibly harmful and strangely sadistic. Penalizing someone because they are able to chase their dream with support and security from their family is very toxic logic.
THIS
Right?! I get her point about hard work being motivated by the idea of homelessness and poverty but on the flip side I could see a person making shady business moves and cutting corners in a desperate effort to succeed that could ultimately lead to failure.
Agreed. Barbara Corcoran (and Kevin O Leary as well) provide a breath of fresh air with their no-sugar-coating personalities. But sometimes I feel like they just intentionally say controversial stuff just to spark a reaction and help their ego, rather than provide useful advice. This video was one of those times.
There is no motivation in it, it's more like fear that forces you to work harder because you literally have no other choice. Either you expend all your energy for the next month and work your ass off, or you freeze on the street.
Shamed for having a supportive father ? wow shame on Barbara
It does hurt to ask. She seems spoiled.
Barbara was so mean here. You don't have to suffer and starve to succeed. She should've been happy that young lady has supportive and generous parents.
She’s always like that.
What she said "I'm not comfortable investing my money if success isn't a necessity to you."
What spoiled kids heard "Your parents helped you so you don't deserve any success and I hope you fail!!!"
Don't be stupid.
@@itchiegames Go touch some grass and get a grip. I said what I said.
@@miscleisure2467I hate when people delete their comments. Wimps are what they are
Anyone can succeed if they really want to. Its not about your background or where you come from. I hate Barbra for this too.
She's adorable and her branding is attractive. I could see Whole Foods wanting her product. Barbara is so wrong. Having some support from parents is not something a young woman entrepreneur would find as a disadvantage.
Also this line is FOR PREGNANT WOMEN! Dates are so good for second half of pregnancy. She should market that
Her product is at some Whole Foods on the east coast now.
@K B lol thats not at all what the implication was. It WAS a BS way for Barbera to throw in the towel, but there is some level of validity. Keyword some. But yes when people haave REAL consequences tied to the pending success/failure of their business, it creates a diff. kind of drive. If you know in the back of your mind that you'll still be A-OK should it fail, you MIGHT not have that same drive/motivation for success. If you know (or even just the hypothetical fear of) that an unsuccessful business venture COULD/WOULD leave you in a bad financial situation, homeless, hungry, etc.... Its just a different mindset.
She is irritating as hell.
No she’s obnoxious
“I just put my head down and hustle.” You’re speaking my language
The girl shouldnt be judged by her familys wealth (if she ever had one). She worked this project on her own, she was there cause she didnt ask for a family loan, she's charismatic and you can tell she put her passion, energy and soul on this. I hope she's successful.
Wow. This was wrong. They’re judging her based upon her dad helping her. They crushed her. I really hope she doesn’t give up on her dream
It was just Barbara, the other guys defended her. Not exactly a 'they'
She is great, her products are in wholes Food, krugers and Ralph's among others
I think misty blackfoot only read the title of the video and didn’t actually watch the video
Yea video title is BS. No one accused her of having everything handed to her (although that's how she took the remarks it seems), she was accused of not having a big enough drive to succeed due to having a safety net. Which is still a BS assumption; sure having no safety net can be a motivating factor to try as hard as you can, but in no way does that mean you can't try as hard as you can if you do have a safety net. Seems to be a "denying the antecedent" fallacy.
@@aidanchung6656 I did watch the video, and I stand by what I said.
why does barbara want people to suffer like she did when she first started out... this girl actually has a good support system behind her and she's making her feel bad about it
Typical narc. She's so obsessed with her own success story and her accomplishments.
Unfortunately some people think that's the only way to be successful, and kinda envious of the support She receives in this particular case.
Her Dad was a super abusive alcoholic likely triggered her seeing a young ambitious girl not have to struggle, because of her Dad. Barbara had to do 20+ jobs by 23 just to get by.
@@AllenHanPR it would make sense that such a harsh comment would come from a place of pain. I'm shocked that even after the wanna date gal took the hit and was emotional she was able to still articulate herself.
because shes bitter and women dont like other woman succeed... its a bad character trait. tho that could apply to both genders..
She made me tear up when she started crying. I understand 100% where Barbara is coming from but I commend this Dad for supporting his child.
Barbara is so jealous. Seriously, if I had it bad, I'd be happy that other people are having an easier life.
If she can't take criticism, she shouldn't be in business.
Barbara’s reasoning for not being invested is so laughable 😂
Mark’s the real one, and glad to know she did well
Why did Barbara have to bully her? All she needed to say was "I'm Barbara, and because of that, I'm out."
She didn’t
she says if i lost my buissines i wouldve been homeless and u cant make money with no risk of losing ur home so you are out
barbaric Barbara in the house! does everyone like her new name!!!
That’s not bullying , like the other sharks said; she just gave her opinion. Also people need constructive criticism in order to grow
😂😂
honestly it was borderline insulting what Barbara said to this girl who is giving everything for her business. of course she is living with her father, she just graduated! actually the product looks so good that I am going to order some right now!
I agree so much. I honestly think Barbara was jealous of her. she's supposed to apologize for her dad loving her and supporting her? That was so ignorant of a comment. So glad Cuban called out Barbara and gave her a deal.
Agreed
Most young adults are living with their parents. I moved in and out of parent’s home throughout My early 20s.

This was so heartwarming. I hope she does well

@@scaryspy only thing kevin cares about is money
@@qg_getoofed1802 isnt that a good thing?
Don't lie to yourself Barbara, if you had a supportive family, you'd except their support in a heart beat!
She’s so sweet. So glad she got a deal.
You don't have to be homeless or poor to grow a successful business or to prove you're passionate about the success of your product. That lady was obnoxious.
Barbara is complete cringe. She criticizes everyone yet makes zero offers on anyone lol
Mark Cuban knows what's he's talking about. He's the only billionaire there and guess what... He started from a middle class family as well. Supported by his parents as well for quite awhile and guess what as well. His first business.. Selling sets of garbage bags. From literally a trash business to billionaire riches.
She didn’t say you have to be homeless to succeed
She’s saying she would trust someone who needs success to survive over someone who already has mostly every necessitie
@@paarthjagga7287 she literally said, I only want/trust people who need to succeed in 2 weeks or they're dead. That's cut and dry. It's one thing to not want to invest in trust fund babies, but dismissing people who come from middle class families just because they come from middle class families is ridiculous.
Aka she wants someone desperate for a deal so she can take advantage. That comment was so cringe
I was feeling so bad for this young lady, but then Mark stepped in and save the day, now I am glad for her.
I agree... I felt bad too. It's like they penalized her for having a Dad who supports her. Praise God she has an opportunity that can be successful. God bless her and her Dad. God bless the gentleman who made the deal. Amen.
Peace, Lynne 🍃💜🍃
Yeah Barbara really sucks to shoot down people like that
Same i liked her alot
same here
Same.
Barbra gave constructive criticism. Cuban got a big chunk of the pie which means he will give it total support. Good luck young lady!
Barbara was hella rude to even say that. She could have worded it nicer. Are we really faulting others for having supportive parents?! That’s ridiculous. Everyone should have supportive family members. Im so glad Mark decided to work with her. Love Mark Cuban.
As someone who grew up struggling to build myself I would do anything to help my kids in the future . Her dad has the ability to help her. He’s a good father and clearly he raised her right. She’s smart, well spoken, and creative.
ya let hope something real heavy lands on barbara real soon...
She's one of the few people I've watched on this show where when she started crying I actually believed it to be genuine. It looks like she's put a lot of effort into it.
The "no one helps me" made me sure it was
Who are you to decide who's fake or not tho.
So youre like barbara too huh you like judging people 😆
The way she mentioned her dad also shows how much she cares about him and how grateful she is for his support in her business.
exactly! I can usually tell when someone is crying to milk people into sympathy. But in this case I felt it was genuine because she was insulted by being told she had everything handed down to her and she knew she's been putting work and effort to get to that point and it made her genuinely emotional.
she also has a medical condition which she didn't use to guilt trip the sharks.
I love the double intention message in the introduction 😂
good on you Mark in helping this young lady get her dream come true. I'm sure you can pull strings 🥰🥰 good luck
Barbara’s statement is dangerous. This is why high school students lie on their college essays about hardships they never had. Her message is that you aren’t worthy of praise or success unless you had no income and no family support. It encourages us either to be sub standard to gain empathy points or flat out lie. Best of luck to this girl, love her enthusiasm and she’s so lucky to have a father that cares.
i guess that's how single parent family on the rise... real hardship
She's definitely a spoiled brat.
this wasn't about morals. this isn't a charity. barbara is an investor, and with all other things considered, the ADDED fact that this wasn't obviously crucial to this person meant that she didn't have enough faith in the investment.
Barbara is a horrible horrible person... She's the worst shark this show has ever had, never liked her in the entirety of her run on the show🤦♂️
@Moon Shine $12 out of touch? Have you even checked how much dates cost and specialty food? A jar of good quality jam is $6 to start and honey is out of this world. Btw her stuff is now sold in Whole Foods grocery and has sold $5 mil worth in 2020.
Barbara showed her true face in this moment. This isn’t a show where you judge morals and backgrounds. You judge the product and it’s outcome. Get outta here with that bs girl.
ikr, it's like barbara saying she won't invest in smuckers cause it's run for generations by the same family
negative
@Ed I'm glad your pregnancy test is negative.
And she wonders why whenever she makes a deal no one wants to take her bc her attitude is so self righteous
@@madhatten00 wow and look how much that company makes she be richer lol her lost
Proud of this young woman! Successful and held up to her word that she wouldn’t fail.
“You have a great dad who supports you, and for that reason I’m out”
Barbra
Shes not a brat, shes an amazing investor and has a wonderful product, shame on the sharks for attacking her business
It was only the old bag, not the other sharks
Title is wrong... should be ‘shark’ not ‘sharks’.
I can see where the others are coming from, however:
“We don’t know if people will want dates, but it’s delicious” we didn’t know if carrot cake would be a thing until someone made it a thing. Next.
“Why not just a plain flavor?” Mark, she just said why. People might be freaked out by “date” flavor, so she’s giving them something familiar. Learn to listen.
Investor !? I thought it was entrepreneur
She is a brat, she literally started crying when she didn't get her way.
"My mother financed my house. Without that, I would have never been able to afford my first venture"
"If Barbera is right it means none of our kids will ever do anything on their own. I refuse to believe that"
Examples of men being really good guys.
As if men can't normally be "good guys"?

@@NaNa-re3wc Okay yeah that makes sense. I just feel like if this comment was reversed then women would be quite offended.
Barbara: "your father supports you whilst mine went to get milk and for that reason, I'm out."
This woman is such a badass. Is it just me or is Barbara a little jealous? 🥴
Hearing big time investors accuse someone else of having everyone handed to them is literally GOLD. I am dying right now. You guys literally gambled and won... This girl probably works harder than any of thse sharks have worked in years.
If anything, most of the sharks probably had their parents help them out at some point in their lives.
Right? That was so unnecessary for them to bring that up lol
You do realise the sharks worked extremely hard to get where they are and are now reaping the rewards, plenty of people 'gamble' and don't win, it's the work behind the gamble that counts
I do think there's something to the "success is an option not a necessity" in the analysis, but yeah it was a bit much
SERIOUSLY!! Barbara was outta line for saying that! That girl probably works harder than Barbara on any given day. And I'm glad Daymond backed her up too using his own experience / story
barbara is literally like ‘you’re not homeless and starving for your business and for this reason i’m out’
glad the other sharks came to her rescue
