So much of your post was either invalid (no one was talking about sugar babies, no one hired a financial advisor, etc) or just ignorant. I did not intent to label him in particular as judgmental. I meant to point out that these inquiries often come from a curiosity rooted in judgment. I meant to speak in generalities... I thought I made that clear, but perhaps I didn't. Just my observations based on years of having the same conversations and lectures from gents on a semi-daily basis. Pretty sure I'm qualified to speak on where these questions USUALLY stem from. How many men have YOU had these conversations with? Do you think it is enough to have the same pool of information from multiple and varied sources as myself? If so, perhaps I would give your stance a bit more consideration. If you disagree, well, that's like, your opinion, man.
A consumer has an inherent right to at the least wonder where his dollars are going toward and shouldn't be met with such harshness.

And if you have, they probably thought you were a crazy person. What happens to "your" money after it leaves your hand is none of your business, as long as you received the service or product for which you paid. If you believe otherwise, you're delusional.
Edit: I'm starting to realize that an adult conversation without sugary kisses and heaps of giggles seems to offend a lot of "hobbyists'" extremely delicate sensibilities. I'll try to remember to soften my thoughts and opinions for your amazingly fragile ears and eyes with loads of smileys and lols and other niceties. Women speaking like a grown up to other grown ups appears to be out of fashion.
Here, I'll try another version of my initial post that I think you'll find more acceptable:
OMG loooool, no we haven't given up on love. We look for it every day. Could it be you, sexy?
Won't you rescue me and take me away from all of this?!
And yes, I could totally use some good advice on my finances, hehe. I don't know why I can't get a handle on them myself. I just LOVE SHOES!!! LOL.
I personally don't mind at all if a near stranger asks me completely inappropriate personal questions and offers me unsolicited advice. It's so endearing and makes me feel like you really respect me as an equal.
Hope to meet you soon! Let me know what you'd like me to spend your donation on. I want to make sure you consider it a good investment. Hope you're having a wonderful week, handsome! xoxo
Better? I realized I probably used some words that had too many syllables, but I'm not perfect.
