TikToker Erika Thamshared her harrowing discovery about the penny method some guys use to manipulate their dates.
But I learned some information today that feels illegal to know.
I was talking to one of my guy friends about love bombing.
And he goes, Well, yeah, that sounds like the penny method.
I was like, The penny method?
Which is an interesting analogy, but hear me out.
But putting in $100 bills is a lot of work.
And you dont always want to be doing that.
So eventually you reduce it to 90.
Now shes going to feel the decrease in effort, but its only 10%.
So if she tries to bring it up, shes gonna sound crazy at this point.
Now, heres where it gets sick.
The next thing you do is you move it back up to 95.
The idea that men might actually think like this makes me so afraid.
Like, is this boy math because I dont like it.
Anyways, be safe out there, ladies.
If thats a new word for you, fear not.
This can be compliments, gifts, attention, or really anything that they believe will win you over.
Then they allow their true colors to shine, normally a mixture of narcissism and abuse.
Since they long for the good times, they often resolve to persevere through it.
The penny method isnt that different.
Loneliness is a horrible feeling, but its often better than a liar wasting your time or worse.
