Finding a woman at 26. while retired.
that gives baby steps a whole new meaning

[dave]

Tell her nothing and don’t use the dating apps.

I’m an electrician and I’ve been saying we need to put plates on the garage door sensor wires. They always get ripped out. Good job to that guy

You attract what you put out. When you lead with money you get people who are attracted to it.

[trentvann]

You can tell this guy was so excited to call in and share his story.

When the question comes up, "what do you do?" Tell them you work as an engineer for whatever you invented. You'll likely not get the question about finances until you're pretty serious. Don't show off the fact you have a lot of money. Drive an average car, go to '"regular" restaurants, etc

Low key “ I just had to tell someone” vibes 😂😂😂

Don’t retire. Build on it. Hit the gym, crack on as normal and the right girl will come along.

Met the one volunteering for a summer bible school. No one was there to show off, she was there to do something great for the kids. I knew she was going to be a wonderful wife and mother because she was hands on doing a thankless service for others instead of trying to look out for herself.

First piece of advice, don't retire

[warhammer]

The answer is: nothing.
Don't show up in a luxury car, look like any other Joe. If she stays with you for what you are, then she's a keeper. Then, and only then, do you reveal your wealth. She's with you for who you are, and not your wealth.
Still sign a prenuptial though, just in case.

Approach yourself first. What do you have to contribute other than money. Are you honest? Are you prudent? Do you have courage? Fortitude? Is your judgment generally good? What are you going to do wiith your life? Do you have any goals other than being rich? If you want to meet women who care about more than money, you have to show that YOU care about more than money. What are your interests, your passions? Will you cntinue to educate yourself throughout your life? From my point of view (as someone married happily to the same man for 55+ years) every person in a good marriage will have a) courage, b) integrity/honesty, and c) a capacity to love...deep love. Lacking any of those--and actually, lacking any of the four cardinal virtues (courage, prudence, judgment, temperance) will weaken a marriage. My husband had good character, had goals, demonstrated ablity to work, etc. You will attract the kind of person you are...if all you want is to be rich and idle, you will attract women who want to be rich and idle.

I heard one where a multimillionaire met a lady and took her to McDonald’s drive thru in his Honda Accord then drove across the street to a park and sat in the car talking for a few hrs. She didn’t complain once. They got married

I am 67 years old. I’ve never discussed my finances with any woman I was not already married to.

Years ago after a divorce and moving to Florida, I started attending Singles Dances, I had the time of my life, and learned I didn't just like to dance - I LOVED to dance. One evening, making what I thought was small talk, I asked a gentleman what his profession had been. He jumped down my throat, and suggested I had been checking to see how rich he was. I apologized, and mentioned about small talk, and left the dance floor. After asking me to dance again, I told him I didn't want to take the chance he would misconstrue anything I said or asked, and it would be better for his peace of mind to find someone else to dance with. Nothing to fear. Who needs it!

I drive a Rav4. Turned gold diggers off instantly.

Dave's genuine joy for this dude was so wholesome. 🎉

Your money situation is nobody’s business until You are ready! You’ll figure it out as you go. ❤❤❤

[skeletor]

There are lots and lots of people that don't care much about money. Love should always come first, go out, talk about what you love to do and I think if you are scared of getting gold diggers into your life, it is totally okay to lie and say, I live my dream job and I make enough to provide for my basic needs and hobbies. Make the date about you two guys, not some materials. It is for the memories, the emotions, the connection the potentially beautiful person in front of you and yourself, a stunningly beautiful person.

Back in the day, a young lady asked what I do. I said I'm independently wealthy. She said "Oh, really" with a a big smile. I said "No, I lied".
