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.

I'd love to know where the father(s) are and hear from them.

I dont see how this is any different from the women who brag on facebook about using men, only dating men for meals and not telling the guys that’s what they are doing. Other than the guy isn’t on facebook bragging about it publicly.

I had the same thought. When I first ran across him years ago, he was the anti-Limbaugh. Rush was all he would talk about and how soon he would be off the air because of poor ratings. His prediction wound up applying to himself.

The next time I ran across him he had changed his show's focus to where he was trying to get women to discuss their sex lives with him on air.

Prince of a fellow.

Hmmm, 47, single, 5 kids?? Try Closing your Legs for a While, unless of course you are looking for your Daughter’s First Date.

Somebody liked her. At the end of the story, the writer mentioned that she had married and was on her honeymoon in Hawaii.

I found the detective/novelist Victor Cass and the crime scene in Pasadena interesting.

I watched a couple, but do not agree with what the guys are doing, for the most part...

I just watched a couple and they seem staged. No woman changes her mind because you found a box with a little cash in the sand at the beach.

“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.”

Dont you just hate that? When i spend a whole 5 dollars on a girl, i expect something for it!

I laughed out loud at your comment...then saw it was you.

Hope all is well with your healing. I have not been on line much lately so might have missed an update.

God speed TEXAS dude!

Too put it bluntly, I lost any sympathy for the divorced woman with the 5 children.

FIVE CHILDREN.

And she’s still out there trying to find ‘The Perfect One,’ in this depraved world?

She was/is short in Common Sense, ER Nurse or not.

She should have been home with her 5 children. Even at 47 I would think there would still be some at home....

I must be one of the paranoid ones or one of those who learned early that cons come in all sizes and colors.

Only way to date is to actually do a PI check on each person.

My beloved and I both think both genders are very self-centered these days.

What amazes me is that not even the lady who walked in as he finished his FIRST DINNER, ordered and mostly eaten before she even got there... thought to request separate checks. I’ve never dated a stranger myself, or expected a lady to kick in on my invitation... but a lady dealing with a stranger should WANT to keep things more or less ‘even-steven’ until she’s ready to proceed beyond that first meeting.
