If You Want To Date Martin Shkreli, You Have To Get In A 'Very Long Line'

by Eitan Levine

Can we all agree not to date Martin Shkreli, please?

Pharma CEO and drug f*ckboy Martin Shkreli has been a mainstay in the news since his company announced it'd raise the price of Daraprim, a life-saving drug used by cancer and HIV patients, from $13.50 to $750 a pill.

The former hedge fund manager did a Reddit AMA on Saturday and gave more than 600 answers over multiple hours to different users.

One thing became patently obvious during the AMA: Martin Shkreli is no longer attempting to save his public image.

He doesn't care what you think about him, and it almost seems like he prefers the world to think he's an arrogant prick with money so he can become a real-life James Bond villain.

One particularly AWFUL exchange during the online Q&A involved Shkreli's love life.

WHO IS DATING MARTIN SHKRELI?! WHO IS EVEN ASKING MARTIN SHKRELI TO GO ON DATES?!

Aside from him being a complete assh*le, the literal only thing I know about Shkreli's dating history comes from this allegedly authentic screenshot from a woman who claims he offered her $10,000 to go down on her in 2009.

Maybe it all worked out and Shkreli now dates that woman? I really hope not.

Women, please don't give this guy the chance to reproduce.
