    Sorry, but if you’re able to shell out $70k to a stranger you’ve never even met, the problem isn’t the dating app, the problem is YOU

      Ive seen this happen to my cousin....they look for the top 1% of men who inturn look for the top 1% of women and get rejected. She turned down so many decent guys with great jobs just because the guys looked "plain"......some of the rejected guys got reeled in by other relatives and now she keeps cribbing about it smh 🙄

    "I was totally in love with him! When he asked me to take his picture, I wouldn't do it unless he agreed to pay me money. Then, he disappeared. Did I do something wrong?" - Yes, you treated him like a pay pig. You're not supposed to ask for a "service fee" to help someone you love.

    If the whole world starts looking at dating apps for love, we're done. Humanity will be in rapped decline. Those apps are meant to keep people on them, that's the business model. The book The Dating App Confessions by Logan Tindell has some funny stories about people using the apps with decent tips.

    I’m curious to know what these dating app users have as preferences in a partner? What are they themselves bringing to the table? Do they really think marriage is a requirement to being happy? 🤔

    If I had boyfriend who I want to marry and he is a photographer and I ask him to take my picture, I would be very surprised if he wants me to pay for the photos. It would tell me that our relationship is not as strong or intimate as I think. It would be more like the beginning of a relationship like an acquaintance or casual relationship where you need to use caution to make sure that the person is not taking advantage of your professional services. If there is a cost to provide the pictures then the man should cover them whether he is the photographer or the one asking for photos unless the relationship is not serious then the woman should pay the costs of the photos in either case.

      It’s very different if your partner offers to help for free, but otherwise I disagree with this. Is it right to expect free labor from others using relationships as leverage? Do you think your partner’s work is so insignificant that they should work for you for free? Pay them what they’re worth, whether that’s monetary, swapping talents, etc. Communicate, come to an agreement that works for both parties. Getting offended because you don’t get your way and then ghosting that person or thinking less of them is a terrible way of dealing with small hurdles in any relationship and shows immaturity. Would you want to be in a relationship with someone who expects you to work outside of work for free but gets pissy if you don’t? 🤷🏻‍♀️
