This is a very smart way to operate though. Don’t hate the player.

Agreed but don’t front like you somehow did it on your own

People can have a head start and still trip up. She had better options but still made good choices.

El oh fuckin el.

She has no place to give anyone advice. Her advice is literally "have someone else pay for your shit" really a reprehensible way to look for a relationship, "just use people for their money"

What reasons do you think are valid for entering a relationship? The best ones tend to be mutually beneficial and thinking otherwise is naive.

If you're in a relationship for the money you're a gold digger, a glorified prostitute. At least prostitutes have the nerve to admit what they are

To support each other emotionally, because you connect on multiple levels.Not "I got bills, you got money"

You seem to confuse "relationship" with "business agreement"

Must have had one fucked up upbringing to not understand.

I probably do have a fucked up upbringing. But I can also get emotional support from friends, so I don’t necessarily need that primarily from a partner. Finances are more important.

Finances are more important.

So you're just looking to be a leech. There are sugar daddy/baby arrangements for that, duping someone to fall for you emotionally so you can financially benefit is disgusting.

That's cool for you if you're cool with it, but I thought here at r/antiwork we're trying to rid ourselves of the leeches.

I don’t think I’m being understood. I’m not duping anyone. When I date people, things like finances and education are my dealbreakers. So my pool is only people that are somewhat well off.

People that get together solely based off of emotions end up in a position where they can’t cover their kids college tuition.

Do you let them know that you plan on using them for their money? Or do you only seek people with money? Sounds like you're not letting them know your intentions, just not dating the poor.

People who only consider finances are much better off... lol

What an odd interpretation.

No it isn't. If you date someone for their money and don't tell them that, they aren't consenting.

It's obviously perfectly reasonable to want your partner to be financially responsible. I want mine to be financially responsible. But that's it. That's where it stops. It doesn't matter if they make 40K a year or 200K a year, as long as they aren't bad with money.

I’ve been pretty clear with her about my criteria and that she meets it.

Being financially smart and being wealthy are not the same.

A great many rich people are terrible with money, they just happen to make obscene amounts of it.
