Yes, it's Reddit, so one has to take it with a grain of salt.

Unfortunately, I know from experience that so-called adults - even those over 30 - who truly believe other people should pay their bills, can be utterly brazen once they think they've emotionally trapped their prey.

It's a long one - and a doozy.

What's also fascinating is just how frugal and successful this older-millennial is. (She was hoping to retire in her early 40s - and she just may.) I wonder just how frugal millennials usually are.

Two morals to take from this:

Don't sleep with anyone until you REALLY know all the bad secrets he/she might be trying to hide. (Of course, many people don't like to think about that.)

2. Find a way to ask, politely, "how much in debt are you and what are you doing to get out of it?" Again, do so BEFORE getting into bed.

no sympathy whatsoever for any woman who runs into any scammers, creeps, abusers on dating sites

nothing but a constant struggle for me

was able to take the time to really dedicate myself

found a f-buddy who doesn't excite me in the least, got completely crushed by someone else and the whole experience was just awful, probably the worst thing I ever done to myself

yet I don't want anything financial out of anybody

decent companionship

someone to talk to, have dinner with, move on to something more, maybe

prefer childfree, and no tattoos but that's a really tough one at my age

it doesn't even matter what standards i have

can pay my own way and then some

was able to go from near min wage to six figures in a few years

lost weight, got fit

doesn't make a difference

would never abuse, scam, hustle, intentionally mistreat anyone

but me trying to date or talk to women is like the kid in Sun Dogs trying to join the Marines

i have a lot more empathy than i used to but it pretty much stops here

if you get scammed, beaten, mistreated, impregnated and tossed aside

whatevs

your choice, your problem
