Gold digger test. Fair or unfair?

I may be alone here, but if I were holidaying in the Seychelles, I'd be weighing up whether to take a hammock, a tent or break the bank and use a hostel. A beach hut with a fridge is luxury. Could do without the horny old poser though, job number one would be to kick him and his hair products out.Comment

Originally posted by alreadypacked View PostKnow this guy (multi-millionaire) getting divorced. Newish girlfriend (15 years younger) currently he is spending a lot of money on her. Has told her he is taking her on holiday to the Seychelles in a couple of weeks, she is very excited. Last night he showed me the beach hut he booked for them, it is a complete dump. Looks like it had not been renovated since the 1980’s, rusty fridge etc. When I asked him why he had booked it, he said “if she really loved me it does not matter what the place looks like”
So do you think it’s fair to spring a test like this on someone so far away from home?
I also think there is a bit of built in punishment if she fails the test, i.e. he has the money to bugger off to a 5* hotel on another island or go home, if it does not work out. She will be left in a dump in the Seychelles for the rest of the holiday.
Not much of a test if he has alrady spent loads of money on her and she knows he has money....Comment

You sound a little jealous.Originally posted by alreadypacked View Post
He is not fat, very groomed with fab clothes etc. Not sure how well he would look away from his blowdry from the hairdresser.

Sounds like an odd ploy to me, and not really the way to ascertain how she really feels about him. Even if she is head over heels, this will probably put her off a bit. He sounds like a tit.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
