Would you date someone who lives a minimalist lifestyle?

[Anonymous]

A minimalist lifestyle is a way of living that focuses on simplicity, intentionality, and clarity. It means choosing to live with less clutter, fewer possessions, and fewer distractions in order to make more room for what truly matters—such as health, relationships, personal growth, and peace of mind.

Key Aspects:
Decluttering: Owning only what you need or love
Intentional living: Making mindful choices about time, money, and energy
Simplicity: Avoiding excess in material things, commitments, and habits
Freedom: Letting go of what weighs you down to focus on what brings joy and meaning
In short, a minimalist lifestyle is about living more with less.

I am personally rather the minimalist type of person. I hate to clutter my place with useless things like pictures on the walls, rugs and the like.

They are dust collectors and increase workload when cleaning.

I personally don't date and have no intentions to date but if I had to or was forced to date, then a minimalist would be a very good choice. Of course, other aspects of that person are important as well but at least, knowing that the closets are not full of junk, that the walls are not crowded with dust collecting items would indeed be an advantage.

But the dude would likely not like spending money

It does not have to be but there is a likelihood yes.

You can spend money on other things that don't clutter your place such as going on holidays for example.

Apart from our music collections, we are both total minimalists.
