What is with the endless money ask?


I write this out of frustration and a need to vent. First a little background. I have done internet dating on and off for some years. At first maybe 14-15 years ago the trust level was high, I don’t think the word scam even applied. Internet dating was simply about using dating sites to find someone that looked a compatible relationship partner.

How different to now. I am getting<b> multiple </font></b>requests daily and am thoroughly disappointed with the rubbish excuses. "I need money for the internet so we can video chat", "I need to buy groceries", "I promise I will pay you back". Yeah right.

It seems to have evolved that women who might indeed be broke, or simply using teasing photos to scam money out of trusting men, see the internet as a legitimate place to shamelessly ask for money from men who they have only had chat with for maybe half an hour, even less.

It has taken me quite a few disappointments and a fair amount of wasted money to learn that giving money in the belief it helps a relationship is a waste of time. Not one single instance of helping with money has resulted in anything back - promises made never kept.

I have many conversations that start well - so many fail over money. And not just refusal, the ones where I have sent money fail, because invariably I am asked for a 2nd send and then refuse. I have had women who have known me less than a few hours get angry and call me stingy. WTF?

So, those women who read this, please understand why I have the rule - asking for money early in conversation means instant blocking. I am willing to help support someone, but only once trust has been well established and there is a real commitment to each other,

I am a goal-focused person, perhaps less so than in the family-and-business growth years but once I have set on a goal I get on with it. Sub women from alt.com who ask for money are not adding to my life or helping to get a goal done, they are a distraction and usually a hindrance,
