    Partner finally got me to watch 90 day fiance and this post reminds me of one of the women who came from Russia.

    The show tries to make her look like the bad person for wanting money but she was clearly promised a ton of expensive things and when the guy doesn't live up to his promises she gets mad. Everything im the show paints this as her being a gold digger or whatever but she is just a confident smart woman who knows what she wants and doesn't just accept less.

    Fuck everyone who thinks exploiting a woman's economic situation for sex is somehow good or okay to do

      anfisa sucks for a lot of reasons but that is not one of them. she knew it was a transactional relationship and the dude she was with was surprised for some reason

        Honestly I loved the line after he asked her if she would stay wth him if he was broke "if I was ugly and fat would you be with me?"

        Critical support for life

          Idk it seems pretty fucked up to give even critical support to someone who's a domestic abuser. Just reverse the genders and think of a guy breaking phones, screaming at the top of his lungs, and slapping his girlfriend whenever she said something he didn't like - it's instantly obvious that those things are not okay in the context of any relationship unless the American was seriously abusive to her off camera.

          Yeah, she has a point about the relationship being transactional and the American being into her for her looks, but often domestic abusers are very good at using a kernel of truth to justify their abuse.

            I don't disagree with you, but you can't just reverse genders here. The power balance between a wealthy man and a woman who came from poverty are vastly different.

              It wouldn't be acceptable if a wealthy American woman imported a man from somewhere poorer and he acted like that either, which is what I was getting at.
