You know, this is one I am new to. I hadn't heard this chicken dinner business until last year.

I remember a Julia Roberts film (Erin Brokovich) where she suspected her latest BF of being like this and she said she 'wasn't impressed'.

how about in the real world though?
Be realistic here, visit certain neighborhoods in the U.S like parts of San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Austin, D.C or here in my Hometown of NYC with areas such as Williamsburg in Brooklyn and East Village in Manhattan, you will run into Gen Y out of town guys who don't work but are heavily backed by trust funds from parents, and some of these guys and gals are well into their twenties, however they do get dates and are in relationships and spending trust fund money on 2000$ dollar closet apartments and other activities. Some of these guys are artsy fartsy types, but hey women flock type flock to these types of guys, they really don't care what he does for a living especially when women are young and naïve. But as a women ages they probably look for a guy that works or has an career, cant always sit home collect money from your dad and smoke weed all day.

If my young daughter, [ie: a "girl"], started up with a grown "man", I'd have the man arrested.
I don't think nitpicking over the semantics of terminology was really the point of this topic.

so it seems as if the trust fund boy can get himself a girl as long as he does at least something.

but how about the eternal hippy chick?

would she stick with him regardless?

This is what I have observed amongst a subculture group called Hipsters and many Hipsters have trustfunds set up by their parents from back home suburbia before moving here to a big city. Some of these guys don't do anything besides do drugs and make art, buy expensive organic food, travel to Thailand, buy the latest Apple products, craft beer and pay high rent but still able to have a girlfriend.

I'll pass!

So to you Men that do have a trust fund, please heed this advice - don't tell women you have it otherwise she'll tell you what to do with it and lose your freedom of your own money.

Next!

LOL!

I don't think that was the point.

I would expect that someone with a sizeable income/trust fund put that money to good use and for me, that would include being charitable. It also would be great if he had some kind of ambition in life other than sitting on the couch, counting his money.

If he didn't feel the same way we just aren't evenly matched in that respect. It's not about telling him he HAS to donate his money. It's about tossing him to the curb and finding someone you are evenly matched with.

I agree.

Hell, if I had a trust fund. I'd have a crazy travel schedule and go out on a urban photography binge. Back home in Virginia, I'd start a nonprofit mentoring program for urban boys.
