This was a rare glimpse of John Rigg’s long-suffering wife. I don’t think that ever actually see her clearly but she’s shown in silhouette or something. She’s a large woman so doesn’t want to be on camera. Or maybe she just doesn’t want to be on camera for any number of reasons. Maybe she doesn’t want people to know that she’s married to John Riggs. I get it.
But yeah, it’s really weird. That whole family situation with John Riggs is disturbing on so many levels.

He plays pinball with his wife on their 15th anniversary.
The John Riggs tale is actually a rather sad one. He apparently separated from his wife at around the time of this video. I watched the video looking for any signs of animosity…and I did get something of a shrewish vibe but how much of that was jokey and how much of it was genuine, I don’t know.
In another video, he mentions having a severely autistic son. I can sympathise. I worked with severely autistic children and…never again. I can see it causing strain on a marriage dealing with that all day, every day.
So when he talks about how Youtube brought him out of his depression, I get it. It’s a depressing situation.
Nevertheless, that doesn’t give you free reign to come on to every female “gaming” Youtuber you can find. I mean, I guess that he can do that, there’s no harm in trying, but I’m still entitled to call him out on that.
You should just be realistic. I mean…Destiny Fomo? He thinks that he can get something going with Destiny Fomo? Bring cash, John. His name actually carries an amusing double-meaning here.
Or Erin Plays? Or SupaPixelGirl? Or Retro Ali? Come on.
I guess the idea is, “If they get to know my personality, it will overcome my appearance, family situation, and lack of employment.” Sure. Personality counts for something. But…not much.
Many years ago, I went out with a woman I met off the internet. She was a British Chinese woman. Very nice, very fun to be with, she obviously liked me but…not a looker. I couldn’t get past it. So I didn’t go out with her again.
Recently, similar situation, I dated a woman off of Tinder, we had loads in common, we were from the same small part of the world, we had similar jobs, we had similar political beliefs, similar views. But she was 200 pounds. She was bloated from anti-depressant medication. I couldn’t do it.
And the women that I’ve met off of the internet, as an average at best looking man, have been overwhelmingly unattractive. If I say that I’m a 5 on a 10 point scale, these women have been overwhelmingly 1’s and 2’s. Anyone who’s even remotely attractive has an ulterior motive. They’re prostitutes, they’re “sugar babies”, they’re looking for a visa, whatever.
I’m the same age as John Riggs but I’m better looking, in better shape, have a better job, and have no kids. He probably has a better personality than me, for what little that’s worth. I have absolutely no chance with any of these female “gamers” on Youtube. Yes, a lot of them are 4’s or 5’s at best, but it doesn’t work that way. As a man, you date down. WAY down.
Riggs thinks that he can do it. He thinks that his sparkling personality and pick up lines and personalised homebrew carts are going to woo these women. He’s embarassing himself.
Everybody wants bitches but it’s not happening. So my advice is to get on Tinder, find some “unconventionally attractive” 40 year old woman who perhaps has a few children, and make the most of it. Might as well just get back with your wife.
