Does being broke make you not want to date or see anyone?

[Pinay_ako]

Why? Why not?

[tesniolite]

For some people, being broke can make them feel insecure and unattractive. They may worry that they won't be able to keep up with their date's lifestyle or that they won't be able to afford to do the things that their date wants to do. This can lead them to avoid dating altogether.

Other people, however, may see being broke as an opportunity to connect with someone on a deeper level. They may be more interested in finding someone who is kind, funny, and intelligent than someone wealthy. They may also be more willing to do things that don't cost a lot of money, such as going for walks, cooking meals together, or watching movies at home.

Ultimately, whether or not being broke makes you not want to date is a personal decision. If you're feeling insecure about your financial situation, it may be helpful to talk to a therapist or counsellor. They can help you to develop a healthier perspective on money and dating.

I'm very broke and yeah it makes me feel depressed and insecure but it doesn't stop me from being with someone especially if they are right for you and the other way around.

[AviatorTom]

When I had very little money in college, I still dated. We just found cheaper things to do... a walk in the park, cheap beer at the local pub, watching TV together, ...

[Orion76]

That’s college I wasn’t worried about a thing I had a car that broke down every day i finally brought a pillow and a Blanket and will sleep in it when it breaks down late at night.

[PizzaDaddyo]

Yes! I skip even going out with the homies to save money and not become broke. Being broke is also a mind set; a feeling or a feel to be broke. When a man becomes broke he has two options. He could either feel broke about it and do nothing , or not be broke about it and get he shit together. If you a guy, you gotta get your shit together or else, they will know. Any woman roughly my age I want to talk to right now will very much have her shit together for sure.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Yes. The two big reasons I don't date right now is because money is tight and I don't have a lot of free time.

I just don't feel like I have much to offer to most women. Not because I don't think I'm enough or something like that, I just don't think that my lifestyle right now is fair to a partner, especially a woman who isn't doing similar things with their life.

Which I am learning is a very rare type lol

[TenderFantasy]

Well sometimes, but that gets overcome by my loneliness sometimes. Sometimes, there's FREE things you can do that don't cost money. No not talking about bedroom stuff mind you lol. But like Free Concerts, a walk along the beach, a picknic, etc. Well that one isn't a lot of money... you can even play ball with them at the park, bike with them, etc. My ex and I did those things. I have fond memories of that.

[NathanDavis]

I have not been broke before but... there's been periods of time in which I've been too busy and working a lot, and that's when I would rather not pursue a relationship because I didn't have the proper time to dedicate to it...

and I never liked to go half-way in relationships

[Cupido29]

When in college, I was really broke. I didn't have enough to even go out for ice cream, and I didn't even have a car. So yeah, it's hard to have any date put in like this, and a lot of guys are put like that. I was still in a relationship, but it was a special case, and no money was needed

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Not really. I can still afford to go on dates, I just have no interest any more. Mainly, I think that as life has shown me multiple times, im not what many people are looking for. The single life isn't that bad, either.

What do I have to offer someone that they couldn't easily find elsewhere? I can't drive due to seizures, I live with a roommate, I have to go to medical check-up each month, and I'm not much of a social butterfly. I do open up, but I'm not the kind of man to initiate much.

[motownplayer2000]

Nope. When I was broke. That was a chance to see what quality of women where out there. Matter of fact, there really aren’t quality women out there.. so now, I just make my money and get women when I want them. Cause none are really worth my time or effort.

[Fuentes]

Lol no having MONEY makes u not wanna date more, it's broke people getting married and having kids all over and can't even provide for their family meanwhile they're still living under there parents. They then eventually get a divorce hahaha.

The rich men if today are not getting married and good on them.

[fonduegirl]

It does. I know I'm attractive, but I don't wanna burden people with my unsteady finances. Ugh.

Plus, dates want to eat out. Food outside is rarely good enough. Imagine saving up money and then they bring you something nasty.

Exactly.

[Orion76]

Why not? Everything and I mean everything even if in a relationship I have low to non existent desire when I’m broke that’s why I do everything in my power and I’ll take any job or two to avoid monetary Dysfunction lol

[RavVid]

If you can't afford it, you can't afford it. It just makes it more broke. You might hit it off with a girl and it isn't issue but as a guy you want to be able to handle your half of a date.

[DizzyDesii]

There are dates you can go on that don’t require money (like picnics) but i admit its better to have money before doing anything

[ChiTown33]

Probably. The last time I was broke and dated I was 17.😂

But no, knowing what I know now I wouldn't even consider dating if I was broke. Even if she could get past me being broke (and that's unlikely) dating wouldn't be my priority at that moment.

[Date_a_Snob]

I can into my relationship with my boyfriend having a significant amount of debt. Its defintely been a strain on our relationship. He has never offered nor would I let him help me pay it off.

[Andres77]

When you’re broke, you don’t have the freedom to be yourself generally.

So dating would not be a priority for me if I couldn’t pay for gas or food, or the necessities of life.

[Guardian45]

Being broke does put a damper on things. But you don't have to spend money to have a date!

[Guardian45]

Don't you agree?

[Pinay_ako]

Agreed

[exitseven]

I was broke in college but that was a long time ago and I don't think money was as big of a deal back then,

[Still-alive]

Pretty much. like i sometimes i meet someone and want to go for it but then i realize 'wait im kinda broke right now so maybe not.'

I'm almost over my financial issues still though.

[Sevenpointfive]

why not see your friends or family? they don't require money to date

[LiamJHayden]

I've never actually been broke, but I do play it for the first couple of dates in order to weed out women who are looking for free meals.

[PointTaken]

Not at all. The most fun I had is with people that are broke. More imagination

[Luckycharms12]

Nope that's when you know they love you. when all can do offer them love and support. When doing well know got real one by your side

[cloud9vortex1234]

It would, but the park is still nice even for Broke People.

[Extraterrestrial1999]

Not if know that I'm not going to broke for much longer.

[Pohjolan]

Yes. Being broke would mean that I already have enough things to worry about as it is.

[WolfDM]

If your broke you have no business dating. Even the simplist of dates cost money. Work on your finances first.

[MementoMori777]

Yea it's why I won't date until I'm settled lol

I live stress free this way

[Jamie05rhs]

I'm currently broke but I still have a sex drive. Lol. I'm not just going to sit down and give up. I'm not a quitter.

[worldscolide]

It does because women still expect men to foot the bill on literally everything.

[Mr1derful]

It wouldn’t matter to me if I was in to her and we were good for each other.

[magiusX26]

to a degree it has. am a guy.

[clampfan101]

It’s embarrassing, but I’d still want to try.

[spartan55]

Women aren't going to bother with a broke dude.

[Reddy4it]

Not at all…

[Jennz6]

I’m not really sure 🤷‍♀️

[FilmGuy93]

Don’t need no coin when you got dat good D

[Justneedtokno]

Lol 😂 what. You don’t want to be lonely.

[Pete671]

I see my genuine friends but don't date,,,

[dragoblack]

It makes me feel undateable

[hevalno]

Yes of course

[gag37627]

Of course it does
