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 wasn’t going into debt anymore.”
-snip-
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.”

Out here, it’s all pre-nups.
Unsportsmanlike!
They forgot the old song “Take A Chance On Me”!
LOL.
/ kidding, of course.
My favorite version of that was done by a flock of birds on the Muppet Show.
And speaking of taking chances, Tom is going to drive us to Walmart for groceries. If I don't come back, remember me fondly ...
I would if I knew what a "fondly" was. It sounds rather brave, whatever it is. ;o]
And remember, when the new driver does something outside of the behavior pattern, you look straight at them and say “DZZZT!” like on the dog whisperer.
Wait.. that doesn’t work on kids.
Causing them to veer into the path of an oncoming cement truck.
Fortunately, that wasn't necessary. This trip wasn't as bad as the previous effort ... don't know if Tom was driving better, or the people around him were.
Now I'm going to put my feet up and write a couple more Christmas cards while the supper simmers.
Um, my address may have changed.
I'll let you know ... in a few weeks.
I wondered how it worked. Awhile back I was on a ‘zotted’ thread and saw ya’ll take it over later.......lol, that sounds funny but that’s what happened. Have fun.
Got religion and made copies.
Nully and I once figured that to make money we’d need to make our own religion.
Well, usually we have a pool of candidate threads.
This year we’ve spent most of our time on donated threads.
Now, Zot threads really are our natural home.
But with certain retreads posting threads just to get zotted, we’ve had to tighten our criteria.
Like, no RonPaul troll threads, and no threads by DannyH.
Should have tried for the polar bear.
“Causing them to veer into the path of an oncoming cement truck.”
That doesn’t happen on The Dog Whisperer.
Hmm.
