Date made snide comments about me being a trust fund baby

[Anonymous]

Every trust fund family has an overachiever who’s constantly trying to prove themselves, a do gooder, and a loser.

Each has it’s positive and negatives.

Incompatible and judgmental.

You’re not financially independent. You are dependent…on your trust fund.

How old are you? By their late 30s/early 40s, trust fund babies are often surpassed by their peer group, assuming a decent peer group.

I know a few trust fund babies and they have decent standards of living but peaked long ago while the rest of us still rise. And they don’t know how the world actually works because they haven’t had to hustle. And actually, it’s very embarrassing to see. They’ve used me and my friends are getting into parties and functions and it’s just sad.

His tone immediately changed. He made snide comments like “must be nice not to have to work” and implied I must have an easy or unmotivated life. It didn’t feel playful — it felt judgmental.
After the date he continued calling and texting me, but I felt uncomfortable enough that I ended up ghosting and blocking him.
I’m not flashy, I live a normal life, and I’m not opposed to working in the future. I just didn’t expect this reaction from this guy who is quite successful himself.
So I’m genuinely curious — is being a “trust fund baby” a turn-off when dating? Or did I just meet the wrong guy? What do men really think of women like me?

Troll.

Most prob see it as either a flex or turn off.

They probably assume you’re stupid and unmotivated.

50-100million trust fund? I wouldn’t work either.

I think of trust funds as something that someone at some point worked really hard to build. They’re there for safety and to pass down, to make life easier, but not to just blow through aimlessly.

The line that you are open to working is weird. Working isn’t something you just sign up for, like a gym membership. You have to actually build a career, and that takes work. Unless you mean you’re going to work at Banana Republic or Starbucks or someplace like that.

+1

The issue is that OP is taking a "well earned break" from the workforce at the ripe old age of 24. And OP's free time activities don't seem to include anything meaningful, such as continuing education, volunteer work, helping care for a relative, etc.

OP, unless a man is looking for a SAHM, and that's also your desire, you are not the best catch. Of course if you are very attractive, you could be a trophy wife. If you lead with your trust fund, you could attract gold diggers. But overall, you really should focus on creating a more purposeful life.

Nothing indicates that the OP would make a decent SAHM at all.

They've been home with their kids for a week and can't handle it.

Yup, ignore them. Hating on a rich 24yo young women who graduated from an Ivy and spends her days doing what she loves is their favorite activity.

One guy comes from an upper-class background and the other middle class , but either way I’m not bringing up my trust fund, and honestly might want to focus on just dating other wealthy guys around me from now. And, I did need a break after a tough four years doing a rigorous curriculum at a top school.

Lol

“Curriculum” is for k-12

Love to hear your fake major(s) OP.
