Anonymous asked this question on 7/13/2000:

I'm a 30 year-old, female real estate agent who works in a affluent area, selling condo's out of a building that's just converted. I myself live in a middle-class area with my father. I meet alot of well-to-do men, because I'm attractive. However once I tell them I still live at home, they get turned off, or treat me in a condensing way. I do pay my father rent, and own my own vehicle, I'm also practically debt free. I do plan on moving out, once I have enough savings & downpayment. If I meet someone in the meanwhile, should I lie? Or avoid the subject?

I would avoid the subject. While it's not fair that they should judge you by your financial situation, sometimes independance is a huge turn on for men.

I'm surprised these men are so rude about it, though. It is a bit odd to find a 30 year old woman still living at home, but that doesn't make you less valuable!

Or, maybe some of these men have been married, and disappointed that they wouldn't have a place to "visit" you? You never know...
