If you’re a guy and get asked at the bar, “how much they pay you?”, best response would be:
1) “enough to pay rent”
2) “are you a gold digger”
3) “I get paid in exposure”

People ask that on dates?! I’ve never been asked that. Rent - absolutely. That’s fair game. 😂

Depends, most people I’m honest with. Sometimes these assclown show up trying to flex and I throw it back on them. After they proudly give salary x, look in disgust and laugh and say you’re not discussing peasants salary. Next part needs a strong wingman. He comes in hot like Ice Man, you don’t want a Maverick who just lost goose and have him laugh In LilyPond Lane.

26F; I’ve actually always been asked this by men on top of what I pay in rent 😅 I just answer honestly. I don’t have anything to hide.

It’s a mystery! Most of the guys I date are 40-50. I feel it’s clear I likely earn more than most of them which may be why they don’t ask?

I’d be super put off if someone asked me this, and I don’t ask it either. There are much more tactful ways to find out if someone is fiscally solvent/ambitious/responsible. Boundaries are a sign of (self)respect.

People are direct in NyC, it’s very common for people to ask about comp, next they may ask you for a job referral. All of the sudden the date will turn into a mutually beneficial transaction, you get the referral bonus and they get the job. It’s happened so many times, such a nyc thing. I miss the city 🤣

Many women in NyC are highly paid, it’s one of the most competitive cities in the world. Don’t let unconscious bias assume someone is a gold digger for having financial discussions and asking about comp.

Moving to NYC from DC. I had planned to come up for a weekend or two to tour apartments. When would be the best time?

I have a cat so trying to avoid moving into a temporary Airbnb in between to apartment hunt, as I’ve seen some people suggest.
