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.”

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.”

Ah yes, the strange mobile ice.
I thought we’d pinned all that stuff down?
I do hope we can find a good zot thread for January as it does feel weird to be in donated threads.
Even though most of our threads have been donated.
Though I think the trolls have caught on to us.
Notice that the last several posted their drek after we’d moved?
We’re going to have to switch it up.
But, still, dating in New York is a good topic to laugh about for the time being!
Hey, everyone! Welcome Silentgypsy to the Undead Thread!
(We love donations of Stupid Threads....)
Gosh, I’m embarrassed but really happy to be here. Thank you.
The embarrassment will fade, but the indignity tends to be permanent.
Yes. It does.
“...the indignity tends to be permanent.” Ya gotta love a gift that keeps on giving. :)
Oooooo! NICE LANUCH!
I can almost feel the exhaust rattling my innards.
And you got to drive it in street legal configuration?
I’m envious.
Watch out for Darksheare’s coffee...
Err...yes...
(See my FReepmail decision on that...)
It was all blue when I drove it, and to this day, I can’t decide if I fell in love with the guy first, or the car...
Years ago, I even cut off my “Vegas nails” so my little hands could help put the bolts between the firewall and the tranny housing.
My heart is IN that car!
Don’t be embarrassed, join the revelry.
Wander through when you can.
And don’t be surprised if you are inspired to write bizarre sci-fi or fantasy stories.
I’m told it happens often in here.
Face and I will have ot dust off “The deplorable tale of AntiClaus” [a.k.a.”Snowball Fight”] for you soon as Christmas is coming.
My teenagers' problem?
But I don't like cider, dancing, or heights. Can we work in Diet Coke with Lime, singing loudly in my car at stoplights, and guacamole. I know guacamole's not the same as being on a table, but it's guacamole.
I like guacamole.
I don't think it works that way.
If it did: We should have a President with big ears. He would be better at hearing our complaints.
Good point.
