Men really out here thinking having a wife is being "romance scammed" in a thread about a "girl" on bumble potentially robbing a guy.

Ironsculpture · 2021-09-24T17:36:11+00:00

I know this scrote is terrified that every woman he gets in a relationship with will compare his nonexistent efforts to his brother's dedication to his wife.

leadmemories · 2021-09-24T17:38:00+00:00

where’s the scam 😂

eveloe · 2021-09-24T17:46:08+00:00

This reads like a sarcastic comment.

The last line is what is sending me though. 😅

finalbosskitten · 2021-09-24T17:49:20+00:00

Lol, let me also note about how this is a guy being bitter and keeping score.

It's been years. Years. And he has nothing substantial to actually say about the state of this relationship; no mention of abuse, neglect, etc. Nothing disingenuous actually appears to be happening. She hasn't seemingly acted out. He's really into her.

Ah, yes, Redditor philosophy is where you label any relationship you don't like as being fake and a scam, and any woman being cherished is her being a Machiavellian demon.

Mcccy · 2021-09-24T17:34:45+00:00

Imagine calculating money someone else willingly spends on their so 🧍🏼‍♀️

Unless his bro has told him "Hey I think my gf/wife is using me" it's weird he thinks of her this way

Praximaros · 2021-09-24T17:49:47+00:00

I think this is sarcasm. At least I hope it is.

Adventurous_River_64 · 2021-09-24T17:38:30+00:00

Lmao is this person connected to reality at all?

throwaway-fds · 2021-09-24T18:47:41+00:00

I kept expecting him to say something like "and then she dumped him a week later!" but 💀💀💀💀💀💀 LMFAOOOOOO

preppykat3 · 2021-09-24T17:51:56+00:00

He sounds extremely jealous of him actually.

the-worst- · 2021-09-24T18:11:51+00:00

Oh.... you mean a relationship? Where the couple supports each other? How is this romance scam if they got married and moved in together?

Ugh.

Technusgirl · 2021-09-24T18:04:13+00:00

WTF. They got married, he bought her a car and paid for dates, so therefore she scammed him! wtf is wrong with men, sheesh.

SolunaJune · 2021-09-24T18:46:06+00:00

So, being a traditional provider is now called being romance scammed. Yet, we're supposed to be "traditional" in every way possible. They really want Mommy-bangmaid-breadwinners.

purasangria · 2021-09-24T18:09:05+00:00

These broke men, howling about having a girlfriend or wife. Pathetic!

ASeaOfQuotes · 2021-09-24T18:32:07+00:00

PSA for anyone confused: An actual “romance scam” refers to someone being taken advantage of by a stranger who they’ve never met, typically off in some country or in a job where they supposedly don’t have reliable internet access and therefore can’t video call. They seemingly verify their identity through pictures, voice calls, and use love bombing to seduce victims.

Suddenly after a few weeks or months they have a terrible situation they need help with, and they request money, or they are struggling with currency conversion or foreign transfers and send you a check only to have you pay them in bit coins.

It’s very real sounding and very embarrassing for the person experiencing the scam. They especially prey on vulnerable people like the elderly, the deeply lonely. But even someone not very savvy with the internet could fall victim because they lack to knowledge to research the situation.

Always pay attention to your older family and ask questions when things seem off.

gigi_chi · 2021-09-24T18:05:59+00:00

this has to be a troll post lol

madamejesaistout · 2021-09-24T19:57:40+00:00

This is a joke, right?

xfelugirlx · 2021-09-24T18:08:09+00:00

And the scam is? Your brother actually care about other person that isn’t he, watch and learn. She married him and is giving all her youth years to him. Stop crying about your brother being a man

arnezuara · 2021-09-24T18:27:41+00:00

His brother did what most men should do: treat their woman with respect and kindness. This includes paying for her, surprise.

ButterfliesHurricane · 2021-09-24T18:34:38+00:00

Lol I was expecting an ending such as: she took all his remaining money and left with the pool boy or she waited to have a passport and left him but no they are just having a normal relationship…. That OP probably never went on a date 🤣

GigaKarenEnergy · 2021-09-24T18:25:19+00:00

What? 😂 I thought he was about to say she left him or something. What a dumbass, that’s called dating you freak.

donttextme_k · 2021-09-24T18:06:58+00:00

Wtf is romance scammed? 😂 I mean unless she had him paid off her debt and buy her a car then ran off the next day, where’s the scam?

Vmchik · 2021-09-24T18:33:35+00:00

The last sentence really did me in. He’s only calling it a scam because he a transactional 50/50 scrote. I still dying at how he’s sad for his brother being married to a woman he loves??

divination__ · 2021-09-24T18:51:45+00:00

oh my god, i was waiting for him to be like 'then she up and left him in the middle of the night, turns out the big scam this girl pulled on him was 'love', lol

kortiz46 · 2021-09-24T19:13:33+00:00

This literally looks like a description of a heathy relationship with someone who is generous and wants to take care of their SO. I’m sure his wife also provides for him emotionally, physically, and domestically.

avokatze · 2021-09-24T18:55:11+00:00

Reminds me of when I told my former scrote of a bf that my friend (happily married, stable financially) was pregnant. He was like "omg! Poor HerHusbandName! What are they gonna do?" The reality where people are happy to be married and excited to have a child didn't exist for him.

IDontAgreeSorry · 2021-09-24T18:56:36+00:00

Lmfao. A man who makes good money spends money on a woman he loves who’s still in college and helps her in life (college money), and spoils her because he can and wants to. They’re still married because they probably love each other. What’s the problem lol? Fucking wastemen are hating because they hate women and don’t have the success and happiness of this man.

lightcobaltblue · 2021-09-24T18:24:12+00:00

Lol. I actually had to laugh at this. It would be cute if it was coming from a kid. That's what a normal relationship should look like...

PasDeTout · 2021-09-24T18:46:52+00:00

Imagine being so jaded you can’t recognise love and be happy for your brother. He sounds jealous.

maskwearingbitch2020 · 2021-09-24T18:44:53+00:00

Not a G.D. thing said about what the woman brought to the relationship. How much has she spent on him? And they're married? Holy shit & he's still paying for shit? Buying her stuff? OMG. Why would he do a thing like that especially when she could be paying for it all & doing all the housework? Come on.....what kind of deal is that? / s

AbbyDean1985 · 2021-09-24T18:41:44+00:00

Umm, this sounds like a relationship. What is he even saying, other than he doesn't like his SIL?

Emergency-Feed8216 · 2021-09-24T20:32:04+00:00

And then they had children and the children robbed him for school supplies, food and college funds!.He got dad scammed! And here I thought he'd be alone on his deathbed like I will be instead of living a decade longer than me and surrounded at the end by loving family and a bunch of grand children and great grand children. Fool!

misandryisnotreal · 2021-09-24T18:54:01+00:00

“They even got married” as an afterthought tells me everything I need to know about this little guy.

clithoodwink · 2021-09-24T20:06:59+00:00

OMG this is so sad it’s gone all the way around and become hilarious. This man is so completely broken that he thinks a deeply committed and happy relationship is a bad thing. I mean the woman didn’t even divorce his brother! He can’t even say that she’s exhibiting signs of unfaithfulness or poor character! He truly believes just the act of treating a woman well is gullible behavior. He hates women!

CloacaDiddler · 2021-09-24T19:59:39+00:00

But somehow it’s not a romance scam when it’s women spending their money on the man, paying for dates, buying him a PS5, a new car, making him gourmet meals, while he has a dozen hook up apps on his phone and “doesn’t subscribe” to commitment

wonkyeyes8877 · 2021-09-24T19:20:56+00:00

I don't understand this...

I think this comment is supposed to be humourous? Like, "oh yeah he totally got scammed by this girl because they fell in love and got married."

annamae602 · 2021-09-24T19:21:17+00:00

I can't believe this isn't satire.

buckyandsmacky4evr · 2021-09-24T18:35:17+00:00

Please, please let this be some terrible attempt at satire.

Edit: I can't type.

shockingupdate · 2021-09-24T18:51:51+00:00

I want him to be trolling so bad

DaughteroftheDawn · 2021-09-24T19:25:38+00:00

Does his brother have a twin brother?

Quebeks · 2021-09-24T19:37:41+00:00

Sounds like his brother exhibits high value traits. This guy is a low life and probably jealous that his brother makes this kind of money. His brothers wife is probably gorgeous too.

FlockAroundtheClock · 2021-09-24T19:22:05+00:00

What is he even trying to say!?

blackmetalbetty · 2021-09-24T20:39:39+00:00

Why are these creatures soo afraid of losing money, but they waste upwards of $300 (scrotey coworker was regaling his friend and I overheard) to posture at strip clubs and other seedy places?

yeahhh22 · 2021-09-24T19:34:21+00:00

He just described an actual relationship 🤔

SakuraGirl88 · 2021-09-24T17:38:47+00:00

Sounds like this guy doesn't make as much money as he lets on 🤔. And he started love bombing her and she probably wasn't into him at first. And 6 years before getting married? I would've noped out of there so fast.

dancedancedance7 · 2021-09-24T20:59:23+00:00

No wait I do feel like the person is joking and is saying the people need to stop being so paranoid, because it ended up in a happy marriage.

ItsFreezen · 2021-09-24T22:50:09+00:00

"He's still with her to this day, they even got married"
It's clear that this relationship has been a disaster since the start. /s

dee_isabird · 2021-09-24T19:40:56+00:00

Whispering It is pretty obvious that person is making a joke. I would delete this post OP.

Datonecatladyukno · 2021-09-25T01:16:15+00:00

Hahahahahahahha this is hilarious. “They are happy and fulfilled it’s a scam” this is next level

DeliciousOnionSoup · 2021-09-25T04:33:36+00:00

Um... Guys? This is a joke. This comment is written in a way to make you expect it was a scam but the punchline is that they are happily married.

I've been to that thread and somebody even responded to the OP from this post (I mean the person who posted this here on FDS) that it's a joke. From the upvotes/downvotes it's clear that people agree. That was most probably meant as a joke and even in case it wasn't, it was still taken as a joke by others.

OP, seriously, you should delete this post.

Edit: or maybe mods could delete this. Or at least add a flair. We all know FDS is seen in a negative light by many others on reddit. We are being constantly attacked by many subreddits and the moment we start falling for obvious satire, we are losing credibility and potential new subscribers.

mothboon · 2021-09-24T19:28:57+00:00

Lol!! I was looking for the part where she ended up leaving him and it wasn't there and I thought I was having a stroke. Wtf is this??? Hahaha

inannaurora · 2021-09-24T20:50:26+00:00

I was really waiting for him to say that the girl left his brother or cheated on him or something. Some indication that she was actually bad for him. Lo and behold, they're now married and he's actually just a man who cares for his wife.

Constant-Wanderer · 2021-09-25T03:22:33+00:00

This is clearly satire.

Livia_Drusila · 2021-09-24T20:19:50+00:00

They're either robots or have a grave mental disorder. Even autistic people or psychopaths have a mild idea of how society works.

Jandi18 · 2021-09-24T21:15:33+00:00

So he put in the effort and got a good investment. Yes a wife is a great investment considering how men prosper/happier after getting married.

Sewud · 2021-09-25T03:45:07+00:00

I'm pretty sure the comment is supposed to be a joke, like he talks about it as if we should be expecting a scam, and the punch line is "marriage is the scam, high five boys". But you can still see that he uses humor to cover up how inferior he feels to his brother. This probably goes back way before his sister in law entered the picture. You can just imagine that growing up his brother was just better at everything.

wigsnatcher42 · 2021-09-24T21:14:21+00:00

Meanwhile he wonders why he’s still single lol

lisasimpsonfan · 2021-09-24T21:50:33+00:00

Maybe she will achieve Secret Scammer Level 100 where they happily build a life and grow old together. /s

Noemie_Mathilde · 2021-09-24T23:14:02+00:00

Next thing you know they'll be having kids--more witchcraft!

darkhorse8419 · 2021-09-25T03:53:37+00:00

I want to believe is a joke but a lot of men really feel this way.

MajesticSkyPachyderm · 2021-09-24T21:29:35+00:00

😂 what a moron.

CynicalSucculent · 2021-09-24T20:49:33+00:00

I don't see what the issue is. They're together. They're happy. What's the problem?

BlueSkiesOverLondon · 2021-09-24T22:53:27+00:00

Wait, what’s the scam?

(I know what he thinks is the scam, it’s just so silly. This is a normal relationship progression.)

Throwaway__FDS · 2021-09-25T05:03:54+00:00

oh the HORROR 🙄

modemarkt · 2021-09-25T02:41:41+00:00

“they even got married two years ago”

😂😂😂😂

sacrallife · 2021-09-25T03:36:47+00:00

These dudes are so fkd in the head.

cookiemonstergirls · 2021-09-25T04:06:29+00:00

So this scrote thinks his brother is being “scammed” because he provides for his WIFE. If he was really being scammed she would have never married him nor slept with him. Why can’t some men comprehend that not all people want 50/50 relationships and there is nothing wrong with that.

TrixieFriganza · 2021-09-25T06:01:26+00:00

How is he scammed if he's happily married, lol

spinsterchachkies · 2021-09-25T08:28:08+00:00

I was waiting for him to say “and then she dumped him” and he ended with “and they got married”….. these guys are pathetic

Healingirl · 2021-09-25T10:03:34+00:00

Omg this spot is hilarious. Love the ending too 😂 The guy knows he can't compare haha

blueboobs- · 2021-09-25T13:42:50+00:00
