Had a good Valentine's Day? Ready for a little bonus? Love is about trust, right? Not all love lasts a lifetime, nor do all lovers get their wish granted to spend the rest of their lives together. When you're the one who has fallen out of love, be gentle, grateful and even more gentle. Yes breaking up is hard to do, left with a broken heart is infinitely worse, still dance like nobody's watching and love like there's no tomorrow. The only thing you should never do, is break the sacred trust between lovers. Never, not before, during or [long] after.
This post is all about the day after [Valentine's Day] and pure spoilers for the Netflix documentary Tinder Swindler from here on. Now you know.
Let's say there's a very rich supermodel who is on Tinder and we match. Yes I know hard to believe but bear with me. We meet for coffee and at the end of it she invites me to come on her private plane for a quick trip because we click, which we obviously do, because why else would we match on Tinder? I head home, pack a couple of clothes, text my friends - you lucky devil - and leave for the airport. There I meet her former husband, who, somewhat odd, also travels on the plane - with their infant. Him and I talk a bit and it's clear she's not only has a beautiful shape but an even more gorgeous personality. Luckily ex-hubby disappears when we land and we end up in bed. Of course we do, she's a supermodel and I'm not.
The next morning I go back to Amsterdam while she's en route to somewhere else - Mu Mu Land if I remember correctly - supermodels are always busy. Luckily she sends me dozens of voice messages every day, she loves me just as much as I love her. She tells me, when the time comes we'll be growing old together. Her super plan starts with she giving me many kids. My friends are so jealous. Why does it always have to be you Dutch? Why can't this happen to someone else? I don't even hear it, so in love. Then the trouble starts. My super love and model is stalked by a CIA agent with a crush on her and she has togo into hiding. That means she cannot use her own credit card, would I mind getting one under my name and send it to her. Of course not. I love her and she is in danger. Like I wrote yesterday, some love stories don't end wel. Turns out she never loved me and played the same trick on several other guys. Now I'm looking at no future at all. I'm deep in depth because of the loans I took out, let alone the credit card bills. Despite that my friends feel for me, there's even a bit of admiration. "But she's still a supermodel who choose you." It's good to be a guy, no matter what.
Trading Places
Now let's turn it around. Back to Tinder where the son of an Israeli billionaire did just that to the tune of at least 10 million. One woman Shimon Hayut matches with is a Norwegian girl, living in London. She is swept away by his easy presence, private jets - and his ex-wife and their kid. Because he is in the diamond business, his enemies are always out to get him. While looking at houses for the two of them to settle down, one night she gets a picture of his body guard bleeding from his head. "Our enemies found us, can't use my own credit card, could you please get one?" She ends up broken-hearted and deeply in debt and she's not the only one.
What she is, is brave. Brave to love, brave to take the risk and beyond brave to risk it all to protect the man she loves. Meanwhile in the Nordic country next door, a Swedish woman also connects with Shimon Hayut on Tinder. They don't hit it off and become friends instead. He takes her to all these wild places to party. He must be rich because he spends like 20.000 in under three days. By his side - and presumbly the woman he really loves - is a Russian model. He keeps in contact with the Swedish girl and grooms her for over a year. Then, one night, he sends her the pic of his bleeding bodyguard and the story repeats itself. Bit by bit, she transfers the cash from the apartment she sold to him. "He's a friend and he is in danger. He needs me." Or so she thinks. Nobody can accuse her of being a gold digger or being baby hungry, she's just friendly. And yes, I'd love to have friends like that. Don't worry, no need to send me money. Yet...
By then a Nordic paper has picked up on the story after one of the victims contacted its editors. On her flight back home from her lover, a third, Dutch, woman reads the accusations about her fiance. Of course she's given him money. She loves him and wants him to be safe. She immediately sends the article over to Shimon Hayut. "No honey, it's just my enemies, trying to lure me out." Something doesn't feel right and she contacts the Swedish woman over social media. The dream is over. Meanwhile Shimon Hayut is in hiding because the story has attracted global attention. Increasingly desperate, he's looking for money any way he can. His Dutch fiancee is broke but has an idea. She works in high end fashion and suggests he sells all of his designer outfits. [3] Agreed, so she flies over to pick them up. They spend one last night together and thank goodness, he doesn't even touch her. [2] Nor does he help her with the four suitcases when she leaves early the next morning. She dutifully washes and irons his designer clothes [almost wrote cloths] and puts them on Ebay. After a couple of days the text messages start to come in. It begins innocently enough. "How's the sale going honey?" but soon turn desperate. "I need that cash. NOW." Finally when he realizes she's keeping the money as compensation, he turns aggressive and threatens her.
While taping an interview for Tinder Swindler, her phone rings and someone asks about designer clothers that are on sale.
"Are you still selling them?"
"Yes."
Cue laughter.
Long story and perhaps a little complicated, so let me summarize. A man poses as a billionaire's son on Tinder. Three of the women he meets, explain on camera how they lend him huge sums of money, at least 100.000 each. Two of the ladies are in a romantic relationship with the swindler Simon, the third one considers him a close friend. All three care for him deeply and worry about his safety. When it turns out they are conned, they want to expose him. One of them goes to the local press. The second one literally risks her life when she flies to Germany to expose him on camera. When the story breaks, most people call them gold diggers, which is nonsense. We love who we love and this man is a con artist par excellence. To me the most brilliant move is having his ex-wife and their toddler on the plane together with his newfound love. [1]
Nobody who has seen Tinder Swindler will doubt for a moment that these women genuinely loved and cared for Shimon Hayut. It's psychology 101, we all want to feel special. Men want to date hot women and it never hurts to make your friends jealous. "The supermodel with the big boobies chooses me!" Women want the same thing. Of course they want hot men, but instead of big boobies what lures them is being treated like royalty. A wealthy man who can have any woman he points his finger at, chooses you? After which he splurges insane amounts of cash because you're special. That's hard to resist. Who wouldn't fall for it?
Long summary but it all comes down to the things we do for love. It doesn't matter why, where, when or how you fall in love, you are. Deeply and you do anything to make sure the one you love is safe. Even if it's just a friend. After the story comes out, haters churn out nasty comments by the bucket load. "Isn't it obvious?", "gold diggers" and "this is what you deserve" are just some of the nicer ones. Nobody deserves going bankrupt because they take on huge amounts of debt, lying wide awake at night, hoping it's enough, praying, the man you love doesn't get killed by his evil enemies.
In the end, Tinder Swindler is not about some guy whose considerable talents guarantee he can have it all, legally and forever. The program celebrates the beauty of women and how there's nothing they won't do to protect the ones they love and care for. I think few shows ever combined as brilliantly as this one just how beautiful women truly are and why. In the end, boobies - big or small - are merely a bonus.
Now can somebody please explain why they call me a fool for worshiping women a little more intense and somewhat differently?
PS
Before I go: guess who started following me on BDSMLR (the new BDSM
Tumblr)?
Dominus Dave, the guy who thinks women should not get an education and considers
feminism a disease.

[1] Tinder Swindler is unclear about her identity, but according to the program, she is one of the women who testified against him several years before. Asked for comment, she says she has nothing to do with it.
[2] This behaviour of him is perhaps the oddest part of the whole story. The woman you love and has literally given you all she to give, flies over in a desperate attempt to rescue you and you're cold as ice? Sex is not always the answer but wrapping your arms around her is. I really don't get it, do I? Perhaps that's why I spent Valentine's Day alone.
[3] Designer clothes are not always what people claim them to be. For most of the show I didn't realize the clothes and accessories Tinder Swindler Shimon Hayut wears are expensive designer items. To me he looks like a fool in his loud shirts and glasses. Gucci or two for ten? Could've fooled me.
