How to spot a Gold Digger
A gold digger is someone who will latch on to a person who can provide gifts, expensive vacations, dinners at fancy restaurants, etc. In exchange, they will often pretend to be interested in you. When I say “pretend” I mean they will shower you with compliments, call and text you every day and even tell you they love you.
Most gold diggers have an attitude that they have to be taken care of by you. And by “taken care of” I mean taking care of their rent, phone and credit card bills, etc.
Not all gold diggers are after money. Some gold diggers are in search of favors or fame. Contrary to popular belief, gold diggers can be both men and women. Many young men proactively seek older financially independent women so as to have an easy access to money and power. And gold digging need not be restricted to a heteros*xual relationship. Most rich men attract 'friends' who are just looking for freebies.
It is necessary to be able to spot a gold digger if you’re the kind of guy/girl who is generous. If you’re known to take the tab very often and you shower people with gifts for no reason, being able to tell if the person you’re attracting is a gold digger is imperative. You like to have a good time and don’t mind paying for a few people just so they can have a good time with you. Well, I have news for you…when you’re indulging in these “philanthropic” activities, the attractive gold digger seated at the bar is gauging your worth and is making mental notes about how to make a move on you.
Fortunately, there are a few cues you could look for if you want to spot a gold digger. Here they are
!. A gold digger is always around when times are good. Think celebrations, festivities, parties, shopping sprees and the like. They’ll always be like moths to a flame. A gold digger aspires to a certain lifestyle and because he/she cannot pay for it, the second best thing is to cling to someone who can. So, they are often seen in company of people who host or attend parties. They will always feign interest in a man or woman who travels a lot, drives a nice car, or loves to dine out often.
2. Some gold diggers will blatantly ask for loans or gifts (usually within the first month of dating). Some use techniques like sulking and moping till they’re pampered. They could be irate and downright disgusted that you’re not treating them right.
3. Gold diggers are never around when times are bad. So if your bank balance has hit rock bottom or business is bad, the gold digger is out that door. If you’re going through some legal issues and you need some emotional support, call your mom because your gold digging partner is probably out at a party looking for the next victim.
