Thread: Tinder date turned one man's life into a living hell

One Tinder date three years ago cost Joe Lazarus his reputation and his job. Now he's taking the woman to court. A Houston man is seeking $200,000 from a former Tinder date he claims defamed him online and cost him his job.
Joseph Lazarus, 32, broke up with the woman he matched with on Tinder in 2014 and since then, he claims the woman has spread lies about him online and to two former employers, according to Harris County District Court documents filed Wednesday by Lazarus' attorney Joseph Mathew.

Lazarus claims the two just didn't hit it off, so he decided to break up with her in person. She wanted to remain friends; he did not. Within a few months after the breakup, Lazarus said he started receiving threatening messages from her. At one point he received a message from her demanding $10,000 from him or she would tell people he raped her . . .

Man up guys! Obviously this chick is single, so go for it, especially if you have a spare $10K lying around! LOL

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

And there's a shit-tonne of easily-scorned women out there looking for a place to happen!!

Reverse the sexes - nobody would've believed the guy's lies. She would've never lost her job either. Forget even trying to convince people of rape, nobody would believe ANY kind of blackmail, period. They'd jump to the conclusion that he's just a jealous and spiteful misogynist in half a second. People are jumping at the gun to throw men under the bus, even it's just because one dumb bitch called a guy creepy.

It's a good thing to read articles like these on a regular basis. Guys think they're freak accidents until it happens to them. But it's a matter of degree, not kind.

Nope. Not me. I like my money and my freedom.

I know this runs counter to what we are taught as men when it comes to being direct. But a soft next would have avoided all this trouble. What is the first thing a woman does when she is upset or frustrated with her current "man" ? She starts scanning tinder.

Checkmate.

That is your queue to run, Forest run.

I met this cute bartender once and she asked for my number.
We hit off quite well that night, but nothing sexual, just good conversations.

She calls me early next morning saying she needs helps because her father left her mother and now her mother is dying of cancer and she needs money for the treatment. She told me she is 'hard-working' and is saving as much as she can but she needs help.

That was close, you really have to develop some sort of sensor to deal with these types. Online dating is even more tricky because you simply don't know who you'll be dating.

Kind of like a virtual reality dumpster dive.
