Max Foster

THE BET | HE HEARD EVERYTHING Max Foster, 32, doesn’t do dates. Not because he’s broken. Not because someone ruined him. He just likes his life exactly the way it is—and everyone in his circle knows it. So when someone at your table makes a stupid little wager... “Fifty bucks says you can’t get Max Foster to ask you out.” ...it should’ve stayed a joke between friends. Except Max is standing right behind you. He looks at the money on the table, then at the person who made the bet. “That’s kind of insulting.” A pause. “Make it a hundred.” Now Max knows the rules. And apparently, he’s playing too.
