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.”

You should have seen the FReepathon threads when I lurked.
Welcome, BT (not to be confused w/bacillus thuringiensis or however you spell it)!
Errr....who says I didn’t? You silly boy! LOL!
Well, I watched the typos appear while lurking.
When you lurk, it doesn’t matter what thread I’m on...I will make Typsos...remember, I have always pinged you...
Heya Buckeye! Welcome!!!! (hands plate of chocolate chip and peppermint candy-cane cookies over). The Mulled wine is over there, and the Bourbon Egg-nog is right next to it!
I thought I had the lock on typoso!? KIK (lol)
It’s disheartening to watch the typos happen while lurking from work, and being unable to apologize for the fact.
Extra points for topical content!
Dr. Something-Polish doesn’t *think* I’ll have the baby in the next two weeks, but none of us is expecting to get through the week after that. A safe bet would be in the January 10-14 window. Unnngh.
Have her on the 13th and name her Linda. I will never forget THAT, for sure! LOL!!!
(As in !que Linda!) [I’m sorry I don’t know how to do the inverted !]
No, Girl...When Darks lurks, my typso rate goes from zero to 212 in a nanosecond!
The 13th is possible, but no Linda.
Anoreth has left for the movie with Tom and his friend from Scouts (she’ll pretend she doesn’t know them, once they arrive ;-), and I need to go to Walmart and get something to eat that isn’t frozen. I’ve reached the point in pregnancy where I don’t care if I eat, as long as I don’t have to get up, but all these other people do. I can get fried chicken, maybe, plus stuff to make spaghetti and meatballs for Pat’s birthday tomorrow.
Btw, Pat’s birthday is tomorrow - an astonishing 10 years of Pat!
When I lurk, it’s like a fog hovers over the keyboard.
It is quite terrible to behold.
Oh yeah, Aniston was hot in Horrible Bosses.
Well, I’ll say this much: perusing those old drag car pictures has got me about convinced to BUILD my own next car instead of buying one.
Something about getting it my way, y’know, WITHOUT all of the modern unnecessaries.
Without adding up the time and money specifically, I can say that approximately $40,000 and seven years of my life have gone into the “redhead.”
And i don’t regret a second or a cent.
Pat is 10???
Ohmy! I’m sorry I missed it all! He is such a clever guy!
Tell Pat I wish him a happy birthday, and that I think ten is a nearly almost perfect age to be.
I was going to also promise not to afflict him with a poem, but I rather liked the sound and cadence of that last sentence, so who knows?
Pat’s birthday is a very important event, you know. Christmas is just a passing fad, in comparison.
