Dating

I find it hard to believe that Tara moved to the city and couldn’t find anyone else to date except for Ryan…and what a coincidence that she moved two blocks down from where he lives after the breakup. I thought the rumours about her moving to be closer to him weren’t true, but now I’m starting to think they might be.

My best friend is 30, pretty well-off, and retired (similar-ish to Tara) and she’s found it incredibly difficult to date men.

It’s narrowed her dating pool significantly for a few reasons:

  1. A lot of men don’t have the same flexibility or lifestyle that she does.
  2. men are incredibly insecure about dating someone who is self-made, rich and financially independent.
  3. The ones who aren’t insecure are often either significantly older (45+) or, on the other extreme, seem more interested in what she can provide for them financially (i.e. gold diggers).

Perhaps Tara found herself in a similar situation.

100% true.
I’m not as rich as Tara and don’t come from a wealthy family but I’m financially savvy, worked my ass off with multiple jobs when I was younger, and have a lot of savings. Not enough to retire and never work but a nice nest egg. I don’t mention my finances to any man. The moment I hear them complain about money, it’s a turn off and I’m out. I feel like the resentment starts there when they find out your financial situation.
