Is it acceptable to ask your potential romantic partner about their finances on the first date?
Sofia Franklyn (@sofiafranklyn), host of the podcast Sofia with an F and former Call Her Daddy co-host, revealed to her guest, digital creator Leo Skepi, on the Aug. 24 episode that she asks about bank account information from her potential partners during first dates.
“Not joking, I have asked the last three dudes I dated for their bank account info on the first date,” Franklyn revealed in a clip from her podcast.
Franklyn explained that she believes that because she is “very successful” in her career, she has “every right” to ask what kind of financial standing her potential love interests have.
“Like, ‘Hi, are we on the same level, or am I wasting my time?’” she asked.
Her admission received mixed reactions from viewers.
“Absolutely 300% agree! You deserve to have a man on the same level as you!” cheered @amythibeau.
“I get only dating someone who’s working (for being sure he/she has an income) but asking this IS a little too much,” countered @gi.sheppard.
“Not sure love comes in the form of a dollar bill but atleast ur straight forward,” noted @user477134633.
Others warned Franklyn that her strategy may pose a problem if the date decides to use it on her.
“What if in the eyes of the rich guy, youre the struggling one that barely meets his expectation?” asked @who.elsebutbread.
“So If you don’t make as much as him, does he have a right to walk away because you are beneath him?” added @dominic.
Some commenters also pointed out that starting with a steep bank account as a basis for a love match could lead to missing out on other, even more desirable qualities.
“This is why the majority of marriage ends in divorce,” added @countsugamabawls. “Love has nothing to do with money, it’s a connection that’s so deep, you support each other and lift each other up. Help each other to reach your goals or better yourself. And that…
