NY Woman Uses Dating Site to Get Over $1200 In Free Meals
YouBentMyWookie.com ^ | November 30th, 2011

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.”

-snip-

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.”

Reminds me of another girl in the same "profession", except Spitzer paid his girl in cash.

Fraud because they thought they were going to get sex after the meal?

$80 million in gross, minimum, guaranteed. More if it’s Aniston, less if it’s anyone from Sex and the City.

How about casting someone famous who isn't 100?

She offered her honor. He honored her offer. And all night long it was honor and offer....

Tax free. Unless the IRS and the NY tax authorities read this article, and then she’s in trouble, since they’ll probably consider it to be a business.

Match.com stock will skyrocket proportional to the number of women who sign up after reading this story.

The oldest profession.

Fraud whether or not they got sex, because any decent guy probably thought there was a chance of a relationship with a real person, not just a business transaction where she gets five dinners and he gets her chosen form of compensation for his money.

White Trash - even if there was no sex involved at any time.

The article does not say they did not.
It does say she was tired after each evening.

As long as she was putting out it would be OK.

FTA: “It was exhausting,” she said. “I needed my sleep and I was done playing the game.”

Sounds as if she was. We need some photographic evidence here.

RE: Rom-Com, She finds a way to get him back.

And she says something like: "You had me at hello."

She didn't sleep with them.

Your reading skills must be a whole lot better than mine because I didn't see that in the article, but I did see she found it "exhausting." I don't think it was the walks from the car to the restaurant that did that.

Note to guys: If you are looking for sex, go to an escort website.

If you are looking for love date someone with low financial expectations; which means don’t set high ones.

No, nothing much will change. Match.com is already filled with women doing the same thing. They just aren't admitting it publicly.

Takes 2 for freeloading to occur

Isn’t that why she is asked out in the first place, to accompany someone to dinner?

Frankly, it's not likely that she dated many "decent" guys from match.com. There have been several studies that estimated over half of the men were married and almost all of the men were merely looking for a "quick date".

Long-term relationships do happen on match.com, but they aren't typical.
