Worth More Than Money
I grew up poor and struggled through adulthood with poverty, working low-paying manual labor jobs. I agreed to a date with some older guy who just seemed like any other regular guy. After a while, he revealed he was a multimillionaire and was reluctant to tell me because women often go for his money.
It made no difference in how I saw him. Until he finally revealed his true colors. I ignored his money and always declined help, even though I was struggling. As time went on, it became about how “grateful” I should be that someone of his wealth and status would be interested in “someone like me.”
He would whine about the poor receiving benefits and how people need to “pull themselves up by the bootstraps” when he had never experienced poverty in his entire life.
When I started to pull away he started trying to throw more money at me, but it had the opposite effect he intended. I just don’t find wealth to be a determining factor in who I date. Story Credit: Reddit/Comprehensive_Air980
