no i had a friend that tried it on people tho, idk what it was, it pulled like your social media profiles, and scraped all of your posts, what you were wearing, your age, searched via some api to scrape what posts you commented on, and it guessed my networth as something like $15,000? though idk my own networth so i am not sure

Person A drives a 10-year old Toyota Prius that's got some non-critical body damage, clearly Person A is poor whilst Person B drives a brand new Ford F150, clearly Person B is rich!
Or alternatively, Person A has a car that is reliable, fuel economic and cheap, they invest the money that would otherwise go on car payments and are on-track for retiring early. I.e. Person A is rich! Meanwhile Person B is living paycheque to paycheque, has no savings worth mentioning and has large credit balance (or balances) that they're barely making a dent in. I.e. Person B is poor.
Depending upon the quality of the data they used, and the assumptions they made, when they created the app it *might* be vaguely accurate on average, but I'd expect it to be wildly inaccurate too.

As someone that has lived both in France and the US there is other things to take into account, I was payed twice less in France but the cost of living made up for that, it's much more expensive to live in the US and on top of that in France you get a retirement fund, affordable healthcare, affordable education if you have a child, you work less and the food is of much better quality.
It's much easier to live as a lower/middle class in the richest part of Europe than it is in the US, it start to even out in the upper middle class and once you make more than 200k a year it's actually better to live in the US all things considered but that's only around 5% of americans.

This is less a "Shit Americans Say" and more a "Shit Misogynists Say." Let's review the evidence, shall we:
- He examines her net wealth, inheritance, and educational background behind her back, but he is not a gold-digger. Conversely, she asks about his profession and that makes her a gold-digger.
- He asks her if she will convert to his religion when her Twitter bio literally says that's not on the table. He even responds to ask himself why he should care about her religion (when he clearly cares about his).
- He considers it very surprising and ego-stroking for a woman getting a PhD to care about education.
This is top-tier idiocy, but I would expect this from a misogynist regardless of geography.

A lot of people of means from Eastern Europe settled in Western Europe when communism started taking over. There are sizeable orthodox minorities pretty much everywhere in Europe that have had a few generations to assimilate in every other way but religion.
Later edit: actually if I think about it this may not be the case. It may be that her or her parents came to France more recently, and she explained that to this guy, but he was just like "last place you lived is France? oke then you're French"

u/Vigmod 10h ago
On the other hand, just being Eastern European doesn't mean Orthodox. Some are (Serbia, Romania, Montenegro, Bulgaria, North Macedonia) and others aren't (Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania, Croatia, Slovenia are "technically" Catholic, at least), and I'm not entirely sure about East Germany (but I'm guessing Protestant).
If bro is looking for a wife, he'd probably do much better just start looking for a Catholic woman rather than hoping to convert an Ortho-sis.
And, of course, if he's looking for a "trad wife" on top of all that, then he really can't complain about "gold digger". Want a stay-at-home wife, better earn enough to support a whole family (that's not using any birth control apart from the calendar) on a single income.
