A chiropractor in New York City described a recent uncomfortable situation while having a night out. Specifically, a girl he was chatting to for only five minutes opened up his phone and tried to Paypal herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201c\u200aThe New York City dating scene is absolutely cooked,\u201d said TikTok<\/a> user Dr. Johnny (@drjohnny_), a popular content creator and chiropractor in a video that\u2019s garnered more than 28,000 views. \u201cThese girls are unhinged.\u201d<\/p>\n In the video, Dr. Johnny revealed that he met a woman when he was out at a bar having drinks. After speaking to her for a few minutes, he learned that she was training for the New York City Marathon. He mentioned that he\u2019s a chiropractor and he works with a lot of athletes. <\/p>\n \u201cShe says, \u2018Great, let me see your Instagram,’\u201d he said. \u201cI catch her trying to send herself a $200 donation from my Papal account to her marathon fund.\u201d<\/p>\n A survey done<\/a> of Australians this year found that a fifth of those asked about their dating criteria cited \u201cfinancial reasons.\u201d The data suggests that financial security is becoming a driving force in the modern dating world.<\/p>\n In particular, younger generations indicated a higher level of preoccupation with financial circumstances in dating partners. The survey found 32% of Gen-Z respondents said they\u2019ve dated or would date for financial security.\u00a0<\/p>\n Another survey found 42% of singles<\/a> rate finances as a top priority when choosing a partner.<\/p>\n Romance scams are becoming bolder and more sophisticated<\/a>. That\u2019s because of organized crime involvement and the prevalence of AI. Millions of people fall victim to these scams<\/a> every year at a cost of more than $500 billion.<\/p>\n So, if a Tinder match (or even just the person at the bar you\u2019ve been chatting with for five minutes) asks for money, daters should beware. <\/p>\n \u201cIf an online love interest asks you for money, that\u2019s a scam. Period. Don\u2019t send a reload, prepaid, or gift card; don\u2019t wire money; and don\u2019t send cryptocurrency to someone you met online,\u201d said Ari Lazarus,<\/a> a consumer education specialist writing for the Federal Trade Commission.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n We\u2019ve reached out to Dr. Johnny for comment via TikTok direct message. We\u2019ll let you know if he responds.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\nIs the Modern Dating Scene Too Financially Motivated?<\/h2>\n
