Making money is a close second for me in my life


They are slippery as a wet eel in the middle of a raging current. Just when you think you caught one...

I think she may have just been following the six day rule. People do that to not seem desperate, and a woman once even told me that was the reason she waited till a week to text me. The six day rule was established in the movie Swingers as well, so maybe people got it from that.

I'm glad things worked out in the end.

She grilled me about finances and debt first on first meeting

Yes that’s a big red flag.

Women, take note, we men generally find such women so repulsive.
It’s the equivalent to “just wanting to get in your pants” for women. It turns us off as much and it creates the same disgust reaction.

And we men have a very good instinct in detecting the signs of “just wanting you for money” the same way how women have good instinct in detecting signs of “just wanting you sex”. Don’t fool yourself that we can’t notice, we do and we are very good at it.

Being in debt is a red flag for both men and women. She may have a bad experience. Doesn't necessarily mean she expects you to be rich. Depends on the details of what she asked.

I mean it says she grilled him about it, on the first meeting. That does seem a bit much, I feel like the first meet up should be to see if there is chemistry not to compare finances.
