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.”

That’s good, but I’m thinking it has some sort of bizarre leprosy. It sneezed and a tentacle (??) flew across the room. It sort of freaked out the kids. I guess I’ll take it to the vet. I’m getting kind of fond of it: it snaps and snarls at the neighbors who are barky supporters.
Still needs a name though.
It doesn’t come top me when I call it Fred, either. I did figure out a way to get it to use the box; I found some romney for President posters and shredded them up. It seemed to like that as a litter.
Don’t call it Fred!
You could use McCain posters, if we run short of Romney’s.
The Hite Report on Male Sexuality has an entire chapter on you-pay-for-it-anyway. Interesting reading...
Howdy..... 9 inches of snow in the past 24hrs....LOL will snow blow in a bit. I sure hope you all have a safe New Years Eve....
If past New Years Eves are like tonight it will be 20 below.
HAPPY NEW YEAR....;) **hugs**
I meant to say..If tonight is like past New Years Eves!
Well. Happy New Year to all of u. Posting from my phone, having withdrawal symptoms!!
I miss u all. I will b glad when my pc is back up and running!
Well, what shall we do for New Year’s?
Shall we abscond with this thread:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2826995/posts
Or shall we ambush the first troll of 2012 like we used to do back when the Undead Thread was brand new?
I say wait. There’s no hurry, and the odds are that soon enough a Paulestinian will be along with some high-grade crazy.
But the Paulestinians like the ‘abuse’, it feeds into their martyr/victim psychopathology.
It feeds their professional victimhood.
I suggest waiting. A vanity zot isn’t *really* a zot, unless it has some additional zing. A whole month of waxing sorrowful over Mitt Romney? Unnngh.
Everybody wins!
Yeah, it’s kinda slim on the picks this time out.
And donated threads only can get us so far.
Our true home is in a fresh clear zot thread.
If only the trolls would cooperate and give us a worthy thread.
Looking joyfully forward to whatever mayhem ensues! :)
I think that thread’s been picked clean.
Though in the 100’s post somebody did invoke Undead Thread.
We’ll see what teh New Year offers us tomorrow.
Last night I got to watch some bizarre stuff go down.
Ambush the first troll!
FReepmail!
They've been coming thick and fast.
There'll probably be a race amongst the trolls to see who can be the first one zotted in 2012.
Maybe the EST timezone should be the benchmark. ;-)
Happy New Year!
