Why does it sound like TC is blaming the girl more than he is the guy who paid off her rent?
And this is the biggest problem I have with these sort of situations. If men weren't wiling to stupidly throw money at women then this wouldn't happen, but no you people hate women so much that you are blinded to the obvious.
You're blinded to the obvious that the rich dude can't read her mind and tell that her rent is due on his own.
It's not like he just dropped a random $1,200 tip (which would be entirely his fault). He was informed of a problem to tug his heartstrings.
