Media suggest young people today have their sense of community via texting. We know they disdain cars.

It would follow that online dating for them is what meeting someone at a singles bar was for their parents.

Full disclosure, I haven’t been around youngsters in years. Retirement can do that to you.

[SMGFan]

seemed like a handsome successful man.

[Tired of Taxes]

We know they disdain cars.

They all want cars. They just can't afford cars and auto insurance today.

[sparklite2]

So they sit at home and text.
And do online dating, which is
Texting With a Purpose. LOL

Match.com? The modern day lonely hearts club.

This is small fry stuff. A measly $80,000 is nothing to the parasites who inhabit Washington.

So, where did the idea of a “Sugar Daddy” come from?

There is a saying “a fool and HIS money are soon parted.” Granted, not so long ago, “he” could refer to male or female, but the point is, the saying was not “a fool and HER money...” So in the past, it was acknowledged that both sexes are capable of foolishness.

Male or female, we all can be deceived by matters of the heart. And for every instance where you can put to a woman foolishly loving and trusting a man, you can point the other way.

There is other saying that are not applied to just one sex, “keep eyes wide open before marriage, half closed afterward.”

Basically, sir, I am saying this. Don’t be so smug — you may be next to listen to your heart and your desires, and not your brain, and all the while believing you are listening to your brain.

Yeah, guys never give money to women they hardly know.

Prolly happens to men a lot more than it does to wimmin, because men are always in rutting season, and will run out in front of speeding cars (metaphorically speaking), if they think they are going to get laid.

[SoCalTeresa]

Well, first of all, I am not a “sir.” “Sugar Daddies” refer to two people who know exactly what they are getting, a really hot young woman who provides sexual favors to an older, wealthy man. Call it quid pro quo. This is none of my business, and I don’t have any problem with it. This woman gave a stranger $80,000 with no guarantee, no legal protections, and no protections. She knew him a week? I can guarantee you, this will never happen to me.

[cherry]

yes, women are so stupid...your mother my mother and Mary the Mother of Jesus.....

look in the mirror, idiot....

[Captain Peter Blood]

I need to see a picture of this woman. I suspect she is probably plain and homely and this guy looked like her prince charming. So she willingly gives the guy $80,000 for True Love. Kind of sad.

[SoCalTeresa]

Hey “Cherry” why don’t you take your anger and hostility to a professional psychiatrist. You clearly have major psychological issues. I post a very simple comment, and you go full-blown hostile. My guess is you are either a closet left-wing fanatic or a crazed right-wing nut-job that give rational, middle of the road Americans a bad name. Either way, get some professional help buttercup.

Loneliness and gullibility. So sad.
