I hope you laughed in his face
I've heard of these stories but never encountered them while dating for years. Dating in DC, every single guy I've gone on a date with expressed that they prefer a boss lady who kills it at work. This makes me appreciate my boyfriend who is like yas 👏🏻 baby 👏🏻 get 👏🏻 it 😭.
I think that was this guy’s issue, insecure about his own level of success and can’t take a woman being more successful than him

I imagine this guy goes on a lot of first dates…
You ask him why he’s out on a date with you to see if he’s different

Nope but I’ve heard of this happening. Thank god he showed his true colors early on. He sounds like a lame.
Wow honestly thought these people existed only online. Can’t possible imagine the reaction I would’ve had if a guy said that to me. At least you dodged a bullet before it turned into something more serious.

One guy told me that all girls “needed a man in their lives to make decisions for them” and that he would “love to play that role for his future wife”. I paid the check and left ✌️
They want to date someone who makes very little money so that their fragile ego is not hurt, but then will also complain when they are asked to provide for everything. Can’t win!

Wow the bar is literally on the floor and even then men struggle to reach it. Sigh. Going to go give my bf a hug and apologize for my attitude earlier because apparently I take his total support for me making almost a 80k more for granted

What CENTURY is he living in???

I have definitely been out with guys like that (I'm married now to a guy who thinks being great at my job is amazing), but it happened more the higher up the ladder I got. At least you found out early that he's not worth your time.
Has happened.. one dude who I turned down had the audacity to tell me that I did not have the courage to take risks with him and he did not know what Deloitte paid me for..
Another dude said - no matter how much more you earn than me, I am the man and you will have to relocate to be with me..
Needless to say - those were the last words I ever heard from those dudes!

Yuck - their loss! Keep kicking ass!
Same… happened to me a couple of time. However, I live in the South and just boiled it down to the mindset here.
Unfortunately, he’s right.
