Never on the first date. That was mostly me thinking back on
one first date I had. Most women aren't rude enough to call you
a loser within the first 10 minutes of the first date and start
rhyming off how rich you have to be to date thm.

Yes, although it depends a bit on how much they know about your
situation and if they know it all...

My Pensions are pretty low since I haven't worked for anyone
else in the past 39 years, or set up a pension account for myself.
If they got to see that one cheque they will assume I'm poor but
they may not yet know that I have other investments that on a
decent year can often triple that amount, or potentially do so.
I usually don't take those earnings unless something unusual
requires it, I have them added to the amount I have invested.

My expenses are ridiculously low so normally my basic Canadian
pensions pay all my bills with a fair amount left over to spend
or add to savings..
