Btw, seeing ShoeOnHead rush to get married reminded me of a watch recommendation I'll give to the thread: if anyone is someplace with Netflix and is bored, try watching the documentary The Tinder Swindler.
Basically it's about an Israeli con-man, this dude

who went around defrauding a bunch of white, single, childless 30-something career women out of tremendous amounts of money.
He would meet the targets on dating apps and just feed them exactly the story women like that imagine in their puerile fantasies: he's a son of a wealthy diamond magnate, but oh no now he's on the run!
Look at all the photos I have of me dressing snazzy and partying and traveling, if only you'll help me out and send me a bunch of money to get me through, then that could be the life you'll have too, and then we can get married and I'll put babies in your sad, lonely uterus!
It was kind of an interesting romantic ponzi scheme, he'd take money he just got from conning newer women, then spend it to further his con with earlier women.
What's funny is that these women would get told over and over again by different services that what they were doing looked like fraudulent activity, and they would do everything possible to defeat the safeguards in order to send this dude 20k cash at a pop for whatever bullshit reason.
What's also funny is they claim he was so smart and funny, but when you actually get to hear him talk, he's got a really heavy accent and sounds like kind of a dipshit. I suspect they were too distracted by the shinies to actually listen to him.
I found it to be an enlightening look at delusional women in the reproductive danger zone and how far they'll go for someone who panders to their childish fantasies.
