I started a new job a few weeks ago. I'm making decent money for the first time in over a year. That was actually one of the motivations for starting this project. When I have money, I start looking for a lady. It's not that I necessarily think one is more important than the other. This isn't a "hierarchy of needs" thing. It's just that having a girlfriend doesn't make it any easier to find a job. Reverse the two, on the other hand...
I don't mean to imply that the majority of women are materialists, by any means. Even if most girls cared a lot about money, I'd be looking for the ones who didn't. The majority of my close female acquaintances have spent years, even decades dating guys who were all but destitute. It's just that dating in general takes a lot of resources (time, energy, attention) most of which can be freely traded back and forth for cold hard cash. So, having cash on hand makes dating easier.
Plus, if you can afford to pay, you're more likely to be allowed to pick where you go for dinner, so there's that.
Having recently clawed my way most of the way out of crushing poverty, I can manage, most of the time, to have enough money to go out whenever the situation calls for it. My rule of thumb is that I should have $100 on me at the start of a date. (That's plastic more often than cash, in case you're planning to mug me. It's also worth noting that I'm a large man with no sense of fair play, so warn whoever you're paying to help roll me that I'm not above biting or groin stuff.)
It's rare that, even when a lady lets me pay, which is surprisingly rare, I end up using the whole $100, but I like to be prepared in case anyone suggests that we get a stripper or one of those 6-foot party subs.
I'm not weird about money. I'll tell you how much I make and how much is in my bank account. Not here, of course. I haven't ruled out committing some sort of tax fraud and I don't want records. But in person, for sure. I've got jukebox money if you're tired of what's on.
I'm Dan. I'm probably free this Friday.
