Would you date an attractive and sweet guy with no money, who doesn't have his shit together and who might never get it?

[ColHathi]

Based on @jennifer_bloom's recent question (Sorry for stealing your question): Would you date an attractive and sweet guy with no money?

It seemed like by far the most girls would be totally on board for a guy like that, but I have a feeling that most of those opinions were predicated on him not being poor due to... well, not having his shit together in one way or another. But let's see!

Yes

No

Just to clarify: There would be no certainty of the guy ever landing on his feet, ever getting back on his feet, or him "getting his shit together". If that is a requirement for you, then please vote "No".

The requirement of him "trying" to get his shit together, should also count as a "No". The point of this question is about whether you'd be willing to accept the guy as he is.

[shaysh87]

I'd say NO. Because I see that person as simply lazy, and has absolutely no energy to do anything in life. As a motivated, driven, focused girl who has big dreams, I simply cannot get along with or understand such a person. I hate the type of person who is simply looking to "get along" in life with the bare minimum. It just makes them look so lethargic like a 85 yr old walking out of a nursing home, just no energy to do anything.

Plus, you can't start a family with someone who doesn't have his shit together, unless you have mountains of cash ready. I wouldn't want such a guy to be a role model for my kids either. God forbid my kid does nothing his entire life.

Based on Jenn's question, you already know my answer to that. I'm okay with him not having money, I'm okay with him perhaps failing to get back on his feet. But I don't want him to settle for less and give up. He must keep trying.

[ColHathi]

I did know your answer, but I appreciate it all the same :)

[ColHathi]

Though I hope you weren't one of the ones voting "Yes" in that case.

[Ms_Facesitter]

I needed an 'it depends' choice

[ColHathi]

I see what you're getting at, but that's why I included "-and who might never get it", so that in the case that you need the guy to be able to get back on his feet for certain, then that doesn't qualify, as there wouldn't be any certainty of that. You'd have to accept him as is.

[ColHathi]

Otherwise I'd basically be asking the same question as jennifer_bloom.

[Ms_Facesitter]

Right, 'might'. There is no certainty. But if he is still trying to get back into the swing of things, it would be good enough for me.

[ColHathi]

Hmm, I think that's fair. Though personally I would've put that in the "has his shit together" category. Or rather, he has enough of his shit together, lol.

The answer is it kind of depends on her experience with men. Most women will date an attractive broke guy. But after a while his broke ass would turn her off. Then she'll dump him and look for another attractive guy and probably even accept him being broke. But this will repeat till she's turned off by broke guys. Then she'll only look for an attractive guy with money.

[ColHathi]

I could see that being the case for a lot of women, for sure.

[Dinklex3]

By not having his shit together do you mean irresponsible?
If so, no. Won't date him.
If you mean clutzy and occasionally forgetting things then yes.

[ColHathi]

First one, yeah.

[Prettygurl12]

Nothing you said is concerning except the part where he might never get his shit together. I have my shit together so I'm gonna need him to get it together eventually.

[Nikki1989]

Yes I would. I have my own money.

[ColHathi]

I like that answer ^^

[Rockstarrrrr]

They would but it can't stay like that forever...

[ColHathi]

I imagine you're right in most cases.
