Of course, Archer has promised exactly nothing. So any sort of blame should go to the dudes for being duped so easily. Homegirl agrees, telling Buzzfeed: “It’s really a foolproof plan, because I’m not actually promising anything. I just say ‘see what happens.'”
Archer got the idea from her friends and started using it as a joke. Once it started working, she decided to roll with it.
Approximately one in five men matches actually send the money, and Archer says some get creepy and offer hundreds in expectation of more. The most anyone’s actually sent has been $10.
Archer’s sharing her story simply because it’s “too funny not to” and because she wants to share the idea with other women. But if you’re a dude who can pull this off, well, more power to you.
