Background...

Her: She's approaching the wall (late 20's). Maybe a 5 or 6. She's 100k+ in debt from her humanities degrees (bachelors and masters). Only recently found work in finance. She rents. Lives with her mother who recently divorced.

Me: Late 30's. Six figures in an investment account. 2/3 of my income is passive. Home owner. Only work part-time because I love my job. Hope to retire completely in a couple of years.

This response came, by the way, when she asked why I didn't want to date her. I asked her what she thought. Her response was, "I think you believe I'm too good for you."

I nodded a little and went back to my meal.
