Wealthy Friend's Dating Anxiety
Share
Sam shares a story about a wealthy friend struggling with online dating despite his success.
"I hung out with my friend last week. He's worth probably $200 million, sold his company, fabulously wealthy. He's 64, polite, nice, just an awesome guy. My wife and I met with him, and he was like, 'Hey, I met this girl on Hinge and we matched. I don't know what to say to her. Can I run some ideas by you guys?'
I'm like, 'Are you kidding me? You're nervous to have this text-based conversation? Dude, you're the catch here. You're perfect. What are you talking about?'
He was nervous. We had to go through each line. He's like, 'Does that sound weird? Does it sound weird if I say this?' I think there's a shockingly large amount of men that are like that, which is insane to me."
