But alas, she's an artist while I'm a lowly peasant.
Thank you for bringing out this topic. This happens too and no one talks about it. It happened to me 3 years ago when I was dating the most manipulative person ever. I ended up giving him 8000$ and never got that money back. I was dumb enough to believe him but trust me this guy surely done it before because he was so skilled in manipulating me he would cry, make a scene and put me in a situation where it was really hard for me to say No and made me believe that he really needed my help to survive. Thank God I had good friends to open my eyes because it was hard to detach from him.
I'm sorry this happened to you, it must have been a horrible experience.
As long as they are scammers they are gold diggers and that's not ok.
But girls do have a git more options because they might attract a guy before he knows they have money and then money would be just a circumstance and not the reason for the attraction (works with guys too but way less often)
But bottom line is even rich people need to date and sometimes they want someone less rich so it's not a constant pissing contest over materialistic possessions.
I've never dated a rich girl but my best friend is way richer than me and through the years that gap became normal and we don't feel so different now, needless to say I never let him buy me anything and as all friends do if he covers lunch I got dinner so there's no taking advantage whatsoever
I hate people who take advantage of others in general, especially people who might be too trusting and not as bright all the time. That said, the woman in that story was pretty stupid. You have to be seriously ignoring your brain to get scammed like that. That's like the most obvious shit ever. Who goes from talking online, sharing pics, etc, to asking 320k out of fucking nowhere for unverifiable bullshit fees?
Kids, if someone you meet online asks for any amount of money, stop sipping that glue and realize it's a scam, please.
The money we earn isn’t so black and white (gold and silver?) in my mind anyway. Different people put in the same amount of effort for dramatically different wages, some people inherit wealth that they never even earned, and some win it. How is “gold digging” really any different to winning the lottery?

Of course I am bothered by it
I was warned about it with my second girlfriend by her father
I made a promise I wasn't with her for money and beyond the meals she paid for (it would have been illegal for me to pay)
I ended up refuting her offer to buy me a watch for £5,000 as acceptence would have broken the promise, been something I couldn't afford to replicate and would have felt wrong given I hadn't earned it
They are not rich if they didn’t earn the money themselves. If they take a woman’s hard earned money then they need to be smacked. Same for women who take men’s hard earned money. If they’re taking money from a girl who is financed by her family then they’re taking her parent’s hard earned money and it’s pretty sad that a grown ass woman is living off her parents.
Just as bad tbh maybe even worse just trying to scam girls who have had it hard in life honestly and even just normal ass girls they are probably some of the worst out there but honestly everyone looking to make something out of someone else's effort should be shot on sight.
Like usual they're called the VICTIMS. If a hirl gets cheated on, people say it's her fault for choosimg a player. If a guy gets cheated on, the woman was a born whore. If a woman gets raped, it's her fault for being out in the streets without covering her body up. If a man gets raped, it's because women are born demon whores.
The people who bitch about gold diggers here are MEN.
So it's never the man's fault for them
I hate them just as much as these worthless gold diggers. The male gold diggers are called gigolos.
I HATE GOLD DIGGERS!!!😠😠😠😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬
Gold digger isn't gender based it's someone who is only involved with wanting to date rich for the money. It just so happens most Gold diggers happen to be female. I think all Gold diggers suck and should work for their own money.
Scammers of any type also fucking suck.
So in my opinion a gold digger is a type of scammer but they are willing to marry and be with the person but a scammer could just straight up scam someone out of money and move on to the next person.
It’s disgusting no matter if it’s a man or woman. I’ve witnessed it myself in my mom’s ex boyfriend. How he would jump one woman to another, ensnare them in his little web and use them until they were nothing then repeat it again. Pathetic.
The only deadbeat guy who married his way into a rich family for power that I know of is Robert O'Rourke. I've known a couple others on a more personal level, but they have so far been mutually sincere relationships.
My ex abusive boyfriend actually abused me over money like he would just take money and more money and he would abuse me for it...
I strongly dislike guys like that too, but it's not nearly as common as gold diggers..
No it is a shameful behavior and just because they are fools doesn't mean you have the right to take their money.
Most guys scam rich girls for pussy, not cash. It's not that guys have anything against money, but it's seen as kinda effeminate to take money from a girl.
Well tbh, gold-diggers go after people who have earned their money.
And people who have earned something deserve it more.
*deserve what they have earned.
The number of guys that scam rich spoiled girls are far exceeded by the number of women that scam men.
i'm not bothered by gold diggers. they can dig gold all they want. that's none of my business. scam is never ok.
Oh thats a lot here. But girl will not tell everyone if she will just looks desperate and fool
The real question is
why can't these rich people give me their money?
Both are bad
Forgive me, but I don’t like either your sister or your fiancée. Cooperative girl seems clingy, but a much better choice than your current fiancée. Better for you, at least.
I don't know, I still love my fiancée and I'm pretty sure that breaking off the engagement would unleash hell.
Cooperative girl is good but she'll probably turn up something weird/creepy in due time.
Maybe it's me and not her, but I already have my doubts about some things that I didn't dare to express.
I trust your judgment. As long as you’re reasonably happy with your fiancée that’s cool.
Those guys are also viewed badly
Both are stupid thing to do.
