Online Dating, Part 3: Dating for Business

Another one of my girlfriends had an interesting experience with friendster as well. She started messaging with a guy who seemed reasonably nice and cute. Things were going well, so they decided to meet in person. Unlike FA's experience, my other friend (let's call her friendster friend, or FF) found Friendster Boy (FB) to be attractive and nice from the get-go. They had a great date, and then met again the following week for another great date. Things kept going so well, they decided to start dating each other more often and exclusively.

So about two months into the relationship, FF realized that she barely knew anything about the type of work that FB did. He was always so secretive, and when she asked him about it, he would say that he owns his own business related to sales. She asked for further explanation, but he would always say that it's too complicated to explain right there and they need to set asside some time to talk about it if she was interested. FF was confused. She said "But what's wrong with right now, we're not doing anything." And he would always say, I need my computer, I want to show you a presentation, etc... Now that was just weird.

So one day, FF "set asside some time" to talk to FB about his business. It turns out that he is part of a multi-level marketing scheme. When FF told him she wasn't interested in joining it, his attitude completely changed. He never called her or talked to her again.

It's a pretty sad dat when someone has to "fake" date you through friendster to get you to join their business. What is that all about?
