Aussie singleton sparks debate over ‘new dating normal’ after revealing how her student debt got her dumped

An Aussie singleton has revealed how sharing details about her student debt got her dumped, sparking a debate about debt transparency when dating and whether it’s fair to be turned off by a potential partner depending on their financial situation.

Taking to Reddit, the dating hopeful said she’d been spurned by two men over her “significant” student debt and she asked if it was a “new normal” among young Aussie men to be preoccupied with building wealth.

The woman further revealed how she’d been branded a “red flag by one guy” and “rejected” after sharing she had a HECS debt of “under $70,000”.

“He asked and I answered honestly as it was 8 months in and things were going well,” she wrote.
