I once got a reddit DM from a guy offering to be my sugar daddy. All I had to do was give up family, friends, hobbies, career, move in with him and have his babies. He assured me I would want for nothing. I turned him down, but I was just a simple "yes" away from being so wealthy and happy. He was also highly complimentary of my looks, despite never seeing even a photo of me, so I know he wasn't shallow.
Edit: ok, that's all a lie. I got like 6 DMs like this. And that's when I turned direct messaging off for my reddit account.
When you put long hair on your stupid snoo and suddenly male redditors think you're the sexiest woman to walk the earth.
I always wonder how many of those are actually wealthy men and how many are guys with low rent and high hormones.
If I had to put down money, I would bet 0% are actually wealthy with stable jobs capable of providing a spouse and multiple children with a "will want for nothing" lifestyle. I would guess 50-70% are attempting some sort of pig butchering or other scam. And the remainder are so disillusioned, they think their offer is actually a temptation for anyone beyond those trying to escape from an even worse situation.
Why didn't you??? /s
Well, he didn't assure me he was 6 foot or taller, ofc. Us ladies be wanting our 6-6-6 men.
Six feet or taller, six-pack abs, six-figure salary or GTFO.

Completely understandable, have a nice day ๐ค
