He makes good money.
And there we have it.
That was not OP

Ew no. If a boyfriend even tried to suggest his default was to view women as gold diggers, that is even worse than having some traditional beliefs about women and families. You can be a perfectly good person if your preference is to have a SAHM for your kids and you are seeking a woman who feels the same - not my thing but many couples agree on this. having a grudge against supposed “gold diggers” that you feel free to express to your new GF is totally different. and gross.

ha you wish. In actual fact my xDH mooched off me for years paying zero joint expenses and now has not contributed a single cent to our kid’s expenses post divorce. Is that the kind of gold digger you are referring to?
Are you going on dates solely to get fed or entertained? Then yes.
This isn’t about me. It’s about a man who rants about women being gold diggers or expressing resentment about having paid for dates or some paranoid need to project himself from gold diggers. BIG red flag.
very different from a man saying something like “wow dating really got expensive for me - I always felt like I had to pay so I ended up cutting down on the number of dates or doing coffee.” then we could have an interesting discussion about gender roles we both feel pressured to conform to.
Translation: I’m going to reframe this as “being expensive” versus “being taken advantage of.” My lived experience is more important than your lived experience.
