Men shouldn’t ask any women they are dating or having a romantic interest in for money. That’s the fastest way to lose respect. She may help out of pity, but in the back of her mind, she will view you as incompetent even if she never verbalized it.

Even amongst my sweetest girlfriends, the idea of a man unable to provide is a major turnoff. Ignore what Twitter bird pick- mes have to say; most of us aren’t interested in holding you down financially.

Women who use their assets to “buy” boyfriends usually have limited options. That’s why I’m turned off by men who are overly interested in my career or how much money I make. I downplay my career in conversation and what I post on LinkedIn.

I show off my intellect, but I make sure they know my job is regular as hell, so they don’t have any expectations about money.
