It may not make any sense to those of us in the US of A, but according to the DailyMail, a new documentary in the UK is making waves for revealing a rather dastardly trend – women who use their good looks, some crafty lies, and the web to seduce men into buying them gifts.

The women, dubbed “rinsers,” troll the internet for wealthy, lonely men, who they get to follow them on Facebook and Twitter, and then convince to buy them expensive designer clothing, jewelry, and sometimes even trips overseas (for more shopping). And do they at least sleep with these poor saps who are shelling out thousands of dollars on them? Not according to the rinsers. As 33-year-old Jeanette says, “I do nice things for my friends and I don’t expect them to have sex with me.” Yeah, I’m SURE you do nice things, Jeanette. I’m SURE.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a video clip of the documentary, but I’m sure if we were to see it our disgust with these young women would be almost TOO overwhelming. I understand that men who are willing to empty their pockets for women they’ve never met are probably pretty clueless, but it doesn’t change the fact that any person who would lead another on for the sole intention of acquiring material goods is basically a lazy hooker- using sex to get stuff (but in this case they stop just short of the sex part). However, as one rinser puts it, “I’m not doing anything wrong, I’m not breaking any laws. If people are going to fall for it it’s their problem… They’re stupid.”

So, what do you think? Are these women just opportunistic? Or are they a tiny bit evil?
