For love or money
Well, isn’t this sweet: Sixteen percent of respondents to a Fair Isaac survey would not consider dating anyone with a FICO score of 700 or less. (One percent, in fact, will insist on 800 or more.)
And this question came up: “When dating, when should you disclose your financial situation?” Says this same survey:
While the majority wait a while to discuss finances with their partner, men were nearly twice as likely as women to discuss finances right away.
Especially, I suspect, if they show up with a FICO below, oh, 699 or so.
(Via Sex and the 405, which I’m pretty sure refers to the San Diego Freeway, not the Oklahoma City area code.)

The northern part of the San Diego Freeway, that’s correct. ;)

I always got to the “What do you do?” question more or less immediately. The answer usually provided the financial implications.

800 or more? Really?. Good luck with that, ladies and gents.
Dating is so much more complex than I imagined it could possibly be back when I was 8 or so.
