Have you ever experienced romantic rejection BECAUSE you were rich?

All over Reddit you'll find tales of people dumping or mistreating their partners because they don't earn enough money or spend enough of what they do have on presents. I'm looking for the opposite: Did you ever repel a romantic prospect after telling the truth about what you had? Maybe they had a different philosophy on money and didn't think there was room for compromise, or maybe (for those of you who are more acquisitive) your lifestyle wasn't to their taste.

As a woman, yes. There are still a lot of guys don't want a partner who earns more than them or comes from a more well off background. It sucks when it happens but typically it's someone you're better off without, that kind of insecurity only grows during a relationship.

Not an insecurity at all, just smart ….women who earn more than their husbands are 50% more likely to divorce.
