I’ve been seeing several ‘hot takes’ from (mostly) women twisting themselves into pretzels trying to prove that money is not usually a factor in who a woman chooses to be with, and I’m personally incensed at the dishonesty of it all. (I call it dishonesty because i don’t want to believe any woman old enough to independently date men in 2021 is naïve like that)

Of course money is important. Of course money plays a major role. As much as we like to say and believe that if a woman likes a man enough, she will not mind his financial status, let’s get real with ourselves for a minute.

Dates cost money. (even if you hang out in each other’s houses most of the time to cut costs, you will still need to go out to fun places once in a while or you’ll bore each other to death.) The cheapest dates to the cinema, a picnic in the park, a nice restaurant, they all cost money.

Doing ‘romantic things’ cost money; spontaneous gifts, weekend getaways, they are not free either.
