How Scorned Women and a Casanova Cop Caught L.A.’s ‘Dine-and-Dash Dater’
The Daily Beast ^ | July 20, 2019 | Jeff Maysh

One evening in the spring of 2016, Marjorie Moon slipped off her scrubs and washed the emergency room out of her long blond hair. She stepped into a dress and high heels, transforming herself from a tired trauma nurse into a hot date. The 47-year-old divorcée from Los Angeles was inundated with offers from men on matchmaking websites, who often compared her to the Friends actress, Lisa Kudrow. For Moon, dating involved racing home from 12-hour shifts while wrangling babysitters. “I’d been under a lot of stress,” she explained. “Just single mom stuff and whatnot. I have five kids.” Scheduling often killed off any romance. Then she matched with a man named Paul on the dating website PlentyofFish.

Maybe stick to coffee places for the first few dates when meeting strangers from a dating site. He could probably take you for only $20-$30 worth of coffee drinks, snacks and pastries if he gorged himself.

Some people argued that for decades women have done the same thing to men by expecting them to pick up the check.

Indeed. It's part of the experience.

That’s what women who are reasonably attractive will date?

I’m sticking to my new plan and being a Sugar Daddy...

I don’t want someone’s 25 years of baggage or their kids...

I know women who use Dating Apps just to get free dinners. They have no interest in dating anyone. But they like to eat at nice restaurants and just don’t want to pay.

She is a trauma nurse though, so she could take care of you in your old age (if you are older than she is).

There are a lot of youtube videos of “Golddiggers getting owned”. They are part of the MGTOW thing. I watched a couple, but do not agree with what the guys are doing, for the most part...

They do the same thing this guy did, but the women involved deserved it. The recorded phone calls exposes them as golddiggers and they guys still ‘em on the bill. But it’s because the woman requested a really expensive place so he could “prove” he was worthy. That sort of thing.

This is different. There are bad guys from both sides.

Just do not care. This is well known to happen to men constantly. She sat there on a first date $250 dollar dinner and simply expected she wouldn’t pay a dime. She is literally amazed that she had to pay.
Everytime ANYONE sits down at dinner, they should be prepared to pay for what they order.
She’s not responsible for HIS food, but she is responsible for what she ordered.

Says it all about her.

When my ex divorced me, I imposed a few rules on myself.

1. Do not go out with any women who still had kids at home. Any woman I might be interested in would wait until the kids were at least out of high school. That should be their first and highest priority. Going out on group activities is fine, but I’m not picking them up.

2. Must have had a final judgment of divorce at least 1-2 years before. “Getting divorced” is not divorced. I wasn’t going to be a victim of a jealous spouse.

3. Must have been a Christian for a significant period of time before going out for a one-on-one date; coffee or a casual lunch. Just something where you can gracefully end the encounter without embarrassment for either party.

She’s divorced, not unmarried.

I tried saving my marriage by getting a water bed.

But then the ashtray kept falling off her back.

At 47, the kids will be either out the door or heading there. But the baggage never goes away.

“Buyer beware” goes for online dating also.
