I wouldn’t judge them so quickly.

Being poor is expensive.

Their “personal reasons” could simply be having enough situational awareness to recognize that they can’t afford to date someone who is struggling financially.

Eh, dating a rich person is pretty expensive too tbh. Unless they absolutely cover every expense, you're still stuck traveling to dates on your own budget, missing lots of work due to vacations/events and just losing your sense of how much things should cost due to lifestyle creep.

I personally wouldn't date someone who's significantly richer than me tbh (or at least not someone who has a "rich person" kind of lifestyle)

I don't blame her, but it is a funny way to phrase a desire for financial stability.

Check this out. "For personal reasons, I never even considered dating PoC when I was a kid." The personal reasons were the absence of PoC. Sometimes it's better to elaborate rather than dancing around your point
