A New York woman is being scrutinized and praised after people learned that she used a dating website to obtain $1,200 a month in free meals.
According to Business Insider, 23-year-old Jessica Sporty was deep in debt. Sporty had difficulties living on her $45,000 annual salary after spending nearly $1,500 a month in rent, paying her credit card bill, and buying food.
So she hatched up a plan and signed up with the popular online dating site Match.com so she could quickly go on five dates a week. Sporty even maintained a spreadsheet with detailed information on each of her dates, limiting each guy to a maximum of five.
Dates took Sporty to high-end New York restaurants, and one of her dates even bought her a $200 bottle of champagne.
Before I barely had enough money to pay for food, said Sporty. After using Match.com I found I wasnt going into debt anymore.

As of today, Sporty is no longer on the dating website as she is currently in a relationship and most likely freeloading off her new beau.
It was exhausting, she said. I needed my sleep and I was done playing the game.

Yeah, when your blood pressure tanks and your heart rate dips below 60 beats per minute, you experience this weird numb blackness.
Sometimes you can speak while ‘out’, but you can’t hear, feel, or smell anything while ‘out’.
No, I won’t tell you how I know this.
Please don’t ask.
HK, may your FIL rest up, heal up, get stronger, and continue forth in His grace.
Well, keep an eye on it.
If it moves from place, threaten it.
My kids had chicken pox early, at 1 and 6 yrs old.
I have read that it is less harmful at a younger age; let’s hope that is true.
Honey and feathers can be a distraction to almost any item that needs wrapping.
didn’t get pinged on the move - thanks, ‘Face :-)
Contact paper, duct tape, create-stuff foam, and several differing size boxes.
And you can Fort Knox a gift and amuse your family while aggravating your friends.
Not that I’ve done that.
Yeah, I didn’t do an official Moving Day ping.
I will do that now.
This is the Holding Pattern of the Undead Thread!
This month, due to lack of threads worth our notice, we have a donated thread from Slings And Arrows.
Commiserate with us as we mourn/mock the state of dating in the great state of New York!
As of this morning, Vlad has no additional spots, and nobody else is showing any. So maybe it’s not chicken pox at all. The kids born in Oklahoma say they all had the vaccine, so that would leave James and Frank as possibilities to contract it ... but they haven’t yet.
Tell me about it.
“New York, New Yoooork.. If you can snooker ‘em here, you could snooker ‘em ANYwheeeeere..”
Unless they are from Las Vegas...;o]
Yeah, they don’t like such fun and games out there much.
Though 24 hour marriages ARE the rage out that way.
Instant marriages, six-week divorces.
Six months, gotta split the hypothetical assets, it being Vegas and all.
The mammals have happy Sunbeam Time. The people are going to church. Crickets have been purchased, so the reptiles will love us!
“It’s scrumptious, when it crunches, that’s why I looooove, cricket crunch!”
Nope. Six weeks.
Well, that hardly seems sporting.
*lol*
They need to give it the old NY try, parceling up nonexistent pets, kids, and vehicles.
Back from church, got religion, also made copies. My copier at home can’t do front-and-back.
