She Rejected A Guy After He Lied About His Job On A Date To Test Whether She Was A Gold Digger
Like many singles today, this woman is currently online dating, and she recently went out on a date with a guy she met on a dating app.
But, while the date started off great and they were both having a wonderful time, that all changed when she asked him what he did for work.
At that point, the guy just responded by saying that he was a “tradesman.” Then, she asked what kind, and the vibe sort of shifted.
“He seemed to hesitate for half a second and then said carpenter,” she recalled.
Obviously, this made her believe that he actually worked in carpentry, too. So, she began asking follow-up questions, mainly about what kind of carpentry he does – such as furniture, structural, roofing, etc.
“Carpentry is such an interesting topic, so I was genuinely curious,” she explained.
Well, her intrigue clearly caught the guy off guard because he started to “fumble” before trying to change the topic completely.
She found this suspicious, too, and after some more pushing, she found out the guy was lying to her about his profession.
“He ended up admitting that he is not a carpenter. He just wanted to test me,” she revealed.

Apparently, the guy claimed to make a lot of money but said he wanted to find a woman who liked him for his personality – not just his wealth. That’s why he decided to be “cautious” and lie about having a “low-paying job” to test whether or not she was a gold digger.
Well, while his intention of finding a woman who wasn’t shallow might have been understandable, she thought the guy went about it the entirely wrong way, and she wound up turning him down.
“I told him his personality is dishonest, and he failed my test of being a decent person,” she said.
While she was complaining to one of her friends about what happened after her date, though, her friend actually accused her of overreacting.
Her friend even said that she should have “at least” asked about the guy’s past experiences with women since he might have been “burned before,” and she doesn’t know what it’s like to be a “high-earning man.”
“But I kind of do have an idea, as I work with a lot of well-paid men, and none of them do outrageous [stuff] like this,” she vented.
Nonetheless, she’s now been left wondering if rejecting her date for subjecting her to a gold digger test was reasonable or an overreaction.
Do you think the guy went too far with his “gold digger test?” Would you also reject someone if they pulled that stunt on you during a first date or not?
