Just because he has disposable income doesn't mean he isn't using his capital to try to impress a young woman and even create an aire of obligation to her.

Hell, I'm in my 40s and dating someone that makes roughly a third of what I do. My responsibility to her is to pick dating spots that she can afford, NOT pay for everything.

This isn't about him liking her but how this message is being mingled in with money. There is an inherent power dynamic when it comes to wealth and men especially.

To pretend it doesn't exist shows the immense privilege that exists.

Ah, one of those. You know you're a spoiled asshole when "money to burn constantly" translates to "disposable income". It's definitely odd for the dude to spend that much money immediately, and it's also weird that you are so defensive about it

It's not that funny. Sheesh.
