A woman on TikTok has shared her "best kept secret" on how she manages to get free drinks at the bar "99% of the time."

21-year-old Kendall Kiper, who goes by the TikTok username @kendallkiper, shared in a video posted on July 16 that her key to getting a free drink as a woman is to offer to buy a man a drink first. As of Friday, her video had been viewed over 3 million times.

"I've only had this not work for me one time, and I do this way more often than I care to admit," she said in the video.

She recommended that people find "a guy who looks like they have a super big ego," and approach him to ask what he's drinking before offering to buy him a drink.

"The ego is a big factor in this. 99% of the time, they are going to look at you and they're going to be like, 'What? No, Let me buy you a drink,'" she told followers.

While Kiper said in the video that this method is controversial, she added, "Let's not forget how men like to treat us. 95% of the time they treat us like shit. So girl, just go and get your free drink."

While many of the comments from women on Kiper's video praised her, several men were skeptical.

"Don't try it on me. I'll be in my prince vibes and let you pay for my drink," wrote one viewer.

"prince vibes??? okay sassy babygirl!!" replied Kiper.

Many viewers also seemed concerned that the idea would backfire, and that they would end up paying for someone else's drink. "HELP this is so funny & smart ily but imagine this not working then you have to buy chad a tequila soda lmfao," one viewer commented.

Kiper addressed the comment in another video posted on July 17, in which she gave tips on how to "abort mission." She recommended coming up with a "signal" with a friend so that they can come over and pretend to feel sick, giving her an excuse to duck away.

Kiper told Insider that she first started doing this when she lived in a college town in Georgia. She said that any time she would ask a guy what his favorite drink was for fun, he would usually end up buying it for her to try.

While she was nervous the first time she offered to buy a drink for someone else, doubtful that her method would work, she said that confidence is key.

"It was like they didn't want to be seen by anybody having me swipe my card for them, their ego couldn't take it so it just worked out," she told Insider.

Even though she doesn't do this often now that she lives in Los Angeles, she said that she thinks it would still be successful: "One thing about LA guys, they have an ego bigger than them."

While Kiper told Insider that the response to her video has been "somewhat controversial," she said that overall it has been more positive than negative.

"I got a comment the other day saying I was 'TikTok's bar big sister' from a girl and I thought it was so cute," she said.

As for negative opinions from men on the app, Kiper said it doesn't get to her.

"I make content for girls, so truthfully — as harsh as it sounds — men's opinions on this don't really bother me that much, they aren't my target audience," she said.
