It's such a turn off a man begging a woman for money! A man that loves you doesn't want to look less than capable in your eyes. He will figure it out on his own, he has friends and family he doesn't need to ask me. I have found they tend to be users and want YOU to take care of them. *cough* like my ex husband for example. What do y'all do when a guy tries to beg for money? For me it's an immediate block.

Men who ask women for help are ted bundys. Its an automatic double bind. Its offensive for a woman to even be in a position to help a man, to men. He'll thank you through gritted teeth, while plotting his revenge.
Anytime they want to go 50-50 or, because I'm a lawyer, suggest that I support them, I go completely cold. One man I dated was way older than me and said I should support him. I hated him and every man for YEARS.
If he asks for money, he’s not getting any from me. Men are the real Gold diggers. They guilt trip, manipulate, come up with reasons and in the back of your mind, you think “this isn’t fair.” It’s because it isn’t.
I work in tech (developer) and I know a lot of people instantly think dollar signs when I tell them that. In a dating scenario I'm both hesitant to tell them but also want to use it as a vetting opportunity.
If I notice them perk up and eyes start to glimmer like the gold diggers they are? Blocked.
If they start calling me "big money" or any of the sort? Blocked.
Suddenly wanting to go 50/50 since "I got it like that"? Blocked.
Saying things like "You're the one with all the money"? Blocked.
Asking for any financial help? Blocked.
and so on.
This is also why I date around my pay grade and above. Yes there are still cheap bastards to weed out, but being with a man who makes [considerably] less than you can be damaging & potentially dangerous. We all know how they can get when they feel threatened & emasculated for us simply doing better than them.
How funny, they're deathly afraid of a woman digging their non existent gold as most of them are broke asses, but totally OK with asking for yours when the show is on the other foot!
Single Mother here... Truly single for the past 14 months for the first time since I was about 13 (yeah sad I know, a lot of unlearning and work done here)... I have never had more money saved up in my life than when I was with a man! And now I have a child to provide for! It was always something "oh babe I really wanted to get *this for whatever reason but we can't afford it* or *oh I really wanted to do this but we spent money on this so this is why I need you to spend your money on it*. Or I loved the multitude of reasons I couldn't do something like a yoga or stand up paddle board class but he could buy himself a PlayStation game "because he never buys anything for himself and deserved a little treat". Always some form of financial abuse and emotional manipulation. Fuck that noise. Never spending money on a man (other than my son) again!
I just think this is a good place to drop this
