Truly well off people don’t need a 9-5 job

Yes OP I was asked that and also if I had a US citizenship (on video intrusive). Immediate unmatch . The men themselves had beaten up apartments in the background. I own 50+ rentals

This has happened with multiple men?

A number of men have offered this information. IMO it's a way of telling dates that they are financially secure, nothing more.

Would never ask. Have never been asked.

Yes and their exact address

I would never ask that.

I might ask where do you live and it's up to them to say
DC/Petworth/Clarendon/I have a condo in Dupont/I have a house in Arlington

This is very weird and would automatically turn me off.

Because of where I live, I have been known to ask them if they have a job. But nothing having to do with finances beyond that.

No one I know or who I've ever met has asked about owning a house

Still, one of those is a normal icebreaker question and the other one is weird.

They are trying to gauge your finances. There are a lot of men and women in the dating pool that are floundering in very large debt.

I've had the dates follow me out to the parking lot to get a look at the car I am driving (again...trying to gauge your finances.)
