Guy that I'm casually hooking up with talks about his money

[ReynoldsC]

When I first started talking to him he mentioned how he was going to be making a lot of money doing a job. And recently he just told me he was going to get a raise this week. I don't get why he mentions his money when I've never asked him about money at all.

How long have you been talking and hooking up? Maybe he's interested in money making schemes or money in general. Why does it bother you?  Is he asking you to pay for stuff or for loans or offering money for hookups? Where do you hookup? His place or yours?

Tell him you don't want to talk.  Just hook up.

He is bragging to make himself look like he has Money, honey.  However, Red Flags to how true it is.  And if he later Needs Money.

Guy is talking about money in future tense which implies he doesn’t have it right now, or not much. Just read between the lines here.

He’s anxious and if you enjoy his company see where it leads, be compassionate. Otherwise, if he constantly forgets his wallet, can’t come to see you, makes excuses you know he’s not prepared or able to date right now.

He sounds very insecure about his current financial state, so he talks himself up to make himself feel better.

My guess is that he's not doing so well finanically, but is hoping you will still continue to talk to him.

It's impossible to say on such little information.   But on face value, he's pleased with how his career is going and is sharing this with you.

Are you the kind to pick holes in everything or is something not making sense?

I'm not sure why this matters.  You're casually hooking up, you don't really know each other and there doesn't seem to be any interest on either of your parts to get to know each other.  He's talking about it because it's something important to him and he probably would like to impress other people with his plans to make bank at some point.  Good for him.

Males who talk about how much money they make have self-esteem issues. It's a form of chest beating intended to make the female swoon with admiration. It doesn't mean the male actually wants that female, more that he just wants her approval as balm to be soaked up by his ever-starving ego.  It's d**k behaviour, and a good indicator that he possesses little to no self-awareness.
