Context: Hook is a friend of mine and he has been using a dating app for many years - to find a girlfriend. He has found more than ten but each time his ex-girlfriends asked him to marry them, he turned them down by saying "I don't have a job" so I don't want to start a family. But before they became a couple, Hook was ambitious. He noticed that I don't have a girlfriend so he also encouraged me to date on that app but I didn't want to. I think those are ships that pass in the night. I want to find someone to marry instead of having casual sex.

Please help me with the following italic sentences.

Hook told me if I wanted to have a girlfriend I could use the dating app he’s been using for many years. He said his ten plus girlfriends were from the dating app and he’s now seeing someone again but he never wants to settle down with any of them. I really despise such behaviors and I think he's just taking sexual advantages of them.

Certainly! Here’s how you could phrase it:

"Hook told me that if I wanted a girlfriend, I could use the dating app he’s been using for many years. He mentioned that his ten plus girlfriends were all from the dating app, and he's currently seeing someone new, but he never wants to settle down with any of them. I really despise such behaviors and believe he's just taking sexual advantage of them."
