A woman has shared the bizarre rant she received from a man she met online dating who hit out at her after she dared to ask him where he worked.

Ashley, who lives in the US, was using the free dating facility for women called Bumble when she received a torrent of abuse from her match Connor who accused her of 'gold-digging' after she asked him an innocent question.

The conversation set off to a normal start. After asking Connor how it was going, he replied to Ashley saying 'great thanks and yourself?'

Ashley then responded with: 'Pretty slow at work. what do you do?'

Connor then seems to get defensive, replying with: 'Huh? Is that always the first question following your opener from you?'

The singleton then replied to explain that she thought it was a natural follow on question as she had just mentioned her workplace, however Connor seems un-amused.

He wrote: '1. I didn't ask you about work. 2. I don't see anything nice about you prying into my career without even getting to know me as as person first 3. It appears that you recklessly brought up work as a front to ask me what I do.'

Connor, Ashley's match, launched his verbal attack after wrongly believing that Ashley was a gold-digger

Connor continues: 'Also because I've gotten tired of girls like you who shamelessly attempt to pry into my career (and really the kind of money/ earning potential I have), I put my job in my profile. I now use it as a vetting process to determine the truly shameless and unintelligent ones here.'

Clearly taken aback by Connor's bizarre accusations, Ashley then tries to calm her match by revealing she has no interest in his financial situation.

She says: 'The tantrum you just threw is no way to find out about me either. A little about me: I'm a pretty ambitious and successful woman.'

But this is to no avail with Connor wasting no time in responding with yet further offensive jibes.

Ashley reported the rant to Bumble who have since blocked Connor from using the app

He continued: 'I don't have time for entitled, gold-digging whores. Calling somebody out on their gold-digging endeavors isn't a 'tantrum' as much as you want to call it that - it's called keeping it real.

'I don't fall victim nor prescribe to this neo-liberal, Beyonce feminist cancer which plagues society and says a guy can't as much as give constructive criticism to and call a girl out on her bulls***.

'Go take you $40,000/ account manager job & asu degree elsewhere. My $300,000 job and Notre Dame finance degree has no use for you.'

Following the deluge of abuse she received, Ashley reported the conversation to Bumble who made it very clear whose side they were on.

The company responded by writing an open letter to Connor on their blog where they were happy to support Ashley.

Take a seat, because this concept may blow your mind. Women nowadays work. It’s happened over time, we know, but a vast majority of women from our generation have jobs.

'Ashley was (wait for it, Connor, because this is where things really get interesting), viewing herself as an equal. It might sound crazy, but people connect over the basic routines of life. You know… the weather, working out, grabbing a drink, eating, and working.'
