Carrie, 30, never expected to fall for a man more than twice her age. In fact, she fully intended to use him for his money and disappear. But fate had other plans.
Her dating journey began on Tinder, where she decided to increase the age limit on potential matches. That’s how she met 63-year-old Randy—a man who seemed to have everything, including a luxurious lifestyle filled with vacations. To Carrie, it felt like a business deal waiting to happen.
“I actually thought it was going to be a transaction,” she admitted in a YouTube video by Love Don’t Judge.
At the time, Carrie proudly embraced her role as a “stay-at-home girlfriend” and openly confessed: “My first intention when I met Randy was to basically milk him dry. I wanted to take what I could and peace out.”
Randy, meanwhile, remembered that Carrie would occasionally message him for financial help. But one day, she vanished.
Determined to turn her life around, Carrie stopped contacting him. “I didn’t message him for months. I told myself, ‘I’m going to change my life. I’m going to do the right thing. I’m going to get a job,’” she said. Without a car, she walked to work every night for her graveyard shifts.
Randy, worried about her, reached out. Then, in a grand gesture, he surprised her with a BMW, ensuring she never had to walk to work again.
That moment changed everything.
“After a year of talking, I finally decided to meet him in person,” Carrie recalled. “My life was getting better because of him, and I felt guilty for ignoring his feelings when he had done so much for me.”
When Randy first saw Carrie in real life, he was instantly smitten. “I thought, ‘Wow—she’s hot,’” he admitted.
But for Carrie, the real turning point came when Randy offered something money couldn’t buy.
“He asked me to list every problem I had, and he promised to help fix them one by one,” she said. “He told me, ‘Give me a year, and I’ll change your life.’”
Despite her insistence that she’s no longer with Randy for financial reasons, social media isn’t convinced. Many still call her a “gold digger with daddy issues.”
Carrie says public judgment is a daily struggle. “People stare. I’ve caught them pointing, making fun of us—especially me.”
One time, a restaurant staff member assumed she was Randy’s daughter. While she occasionally corrects people, she usually lets it slide to avoid awkwardness.
Still, Randy believes their relationship has changed over time. “At first? Yeah, she was probably using me,” he admitted. “But in the last two or three years? No.”
The couple remains unbothered by critics.
“To the haters,” Carrie and Randy declared, “I like the attention, baby. And at the end of the day, she comes home with me.”
