Well, if you must know, my last boyfriend was a male gold digger. I did not go for him with "status" in the back of my head, but I think that's what he saw in me, well, that and money. I paid for myself on the first date, but after that experience never again. He'd never had a girlfriend but all of a sudden he just had to have me as a girlfriend. He was excited about the vehicle my dad drove. He was always talking about money, what kind of car he could have had had his parents not divorced or even if his dad had paid child support, how much money he was going to get from female members of his family before and after death, telling me to make S up so that my dad would give me more money. He knew that I had my dad's debit and credit card, and he would urge me to use them to benefit him. I already talked about how he signed me up for a cellphone plan behind my back. At one time I had a bank account that did not have a debit card, so he would use his card when we went out. Then I'd write him a check. Oh, he was so giddy to get those checks. It came to a point that whenever I got my bank statement, there would be one check for rent, and ALL the other checks were written to him! I had to reevaluate what I was doing and why I had to pay for so much stuff! I don't mind spending my own money, but I don't want to be taken advantage of either.
He would tell me stories of how he would run scams on his mother. He would call the porno hotline, run up a bill for hundreds of dollars and then tell her he was calling about video game codes. Once she lost some jewelry, and when he found it she gave him some money. So, this dummy started purposely hiding his mom's jewelry so that he would get paid when he miraculously "found" it. He would be teling me this stuff, and I'd be sitting there like, "You could never have gotten away with that in my house. Someone would have told on you!" I guess that's what happens when you are an only child, and your mom lets you get away with everything, even terrorizing your little cousins. He was someone I considered marrying, but in the end he was HORRIBLE! I could never see myself in a lifelong relationship with someone like him.
