I am the heir to a small family fortune.  My parents business is valued in the millions, and I currently run their business while they are semi-retired.  I earn 6-figures and could possibly be at 7-figures before my own retirement.

When I date women, at first I downplay my life and assets.  Working for some corporate office job, sometimes giving myself a slight title such as office manager, or sales lead is what I tell them.  Typically I brush off or avoid questions or information involving my profession.

I've been in 2 relationships that lasted 3+ years, and coincidentally they were woman from wealth themselves.  So this wasn't an issue in the past.  Now I'm out dating, I'm just an average Joe (despite what some might consider a humble brag above its just information relating to my situation), dressing and living modestly.  I mostly save my money and have a small house and drive a 2010 pickup.  Don't know a thing about designer clothes or caviar.  I have blue and white collar friends who all earn around the national average in their demographic.  Yes I usually pick up the bar tab, but not always. 

Anyway, I've been dating girls recently I meet online.  That section on eharmony where it says "Income" is what I left blank.  Not trying to attract the wrong type of lady.

The "gold-digging" issue is not the only problem.  By eventually telling them I am employed by my parents, it makes it seem like I've accomplished nothing in life.  Some may even express that opinion here on reddit.  While my guaranteed position in the business world was established at birth, I don't believe that my success was 100% guaranteed.  Ignoring the fact I could have been a drug addict or complete silver spoon bum, I did become an asset to the family business.

Don't know how to dance the line of "lying" and avoiding gold
