Gaaaaah! This question irritated me to no end back in the day. Usually asked within the first 15 minutes of sitting down, one of the first things to come out of a woman's mouth are these probing questions about my personal life.

And it's clear that all she's doing is trying to measure up your financial potential, disguised as "polite conversation". It's not even like they give a shit about what you do, unless it's exciting like firefighting or something. That's like me asking "do you spit or swallow" right as we start the date.

And of course you could never call them out on it, because they'll just deflect and say they were trying to start a conversation. But really? Out of all the possible things you could ask, it has to be "how much money do you make?", never mind actually getting to know the guy, they just want to know his bank account.

That's one of the reasons I went MGTOW, because how the fuck can a guy find love when there's this many vultures out there?
