It's an outrage that this still has to be done

Unfortunately, women sometimes have to employ all kinds of tactics to ward off unwanted advances from men; from pretending they have a boyfriend to asking strangers to help them out.

While waiting for her ride, the woman sent the driver, Brandon Gale, a message through the app and asked him to pretend to be her boyfriend when he arrived.He promptly removed his Uber and Lyft stickers and reluctantly put away his wedding ring to look the part.

Ridiculous. Women need to say NO clearly & not go into dark isolated parking lots w potential rapists. Learn to 'man up' & dial 911 not Uber. The newbie driver is an IDIOT not a hero. He took a lot of time & huge risk for min wage. Big tip? Bet she didnt tip at all right?

'Tried to come across central console to give you a hug'... better watch out mate.. next thing its gonna be a fake claim Against ya... help but be careful too..

Woman says man pretended to be rich and swindled her out of $200,000Cecilie Fjellhoy, 29, a Norwegian graduate student living in London, said conman Shimon Hayut, 28, swindled her out of $200,000, while pretending to be a wealthy diamond magnate. Tinder in a nutshell... Why be honest and yourself, when you can just pretend to be a millionaire and have women jump through hoops for you... 🙄🙄🙄 I have little sympathy for this person. That is what she gets for 'chasing money'. If she went for personality, she might not be rich, in the material sense but she would definitely be without $200K debt based on someone else...smh How does someone so dumb even get into college?
