Girls, tell me a reason why you'd date a broke boy?

Question

I think my brain is overcooked 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

Love has its funny ways of trumping through all of our preferences and I dont see the issue as long as both subliminally agree to happily grow and love each other

There are some decent depictions of this in some movies I saw from the late 90s to early 00s decade (as superficial as movies are with love and romance):
‘Coyote Ugly’ and ‘Titanic’

I also think the word ‘to date’ implies it’s just a test run to test the waters. There’s a philosophy I like to carry about assuming that the next relationship I’m in with a lady is more about molding our compatibility and persona like who she is as a person, for ex I cannot court with someone who is rude to strangers. But regarding money, she would at least have had a job no matter if its babysitting, at least doesn't take for granted the role I have in working to pay the bills, and non-negotiable for me is she would have to have a growth mindset too

I think if a guy has at least a growth-mindset he would be able to increase his income or level up in order for it to catch up with him

Surely they must find him really hot or he brings some things to the table apart from salt or sugar - like maybe he at least owns a car, he has some money or she's happy to pay for his date nights lol ♀️🤑 💰 just like a guy would date a hot broke woman ♀️ lol 😂😆

1. If he has shown the ability to make a reasonable living before and has extenuating circumstances (there is a recession, the company sold, etc.).

2. If he is launching a viable business startup with a business plan and using every spare cent to make it happen.

3. If he is aggressively paying off student loan debt.

I will say this; the older someone is, the less slack I will give them in this area. A 25-30 year-old still obtaining education, building their career and making progress? Not a big deal. A 40 or older guy still living with his mom and talking about his big plans? No way in you-know-where...

I would depending on how I know the guy. If he's a stand up guy that has goals he has accomplished and is not afraid of hard work and treats me well why not. Especially if I have a really good connection with him that feels natural. Anybody can fall on hard times. Now if a guy is broke because he not trying, doesn't care and is mooching off of people all the time. I would pass on that one. If he only has a job six months at a time or hasn't worked at all for six months or more without good reason, I would stay away from that one.

sage2021 · Answer

We are living in tough times right now with no let up anytime soon.
If he is actively seeking employment but is having a hard time landing a job I can accept that and I know it must be hard on him to be under so much pressure. Things might take time for him to start earning money again. Completely understandable.
I am not high maintenance. I don't drink alcohol or use illicit drugs, so that's a big savings right there!🙂 I don't eat much either.
I had a step-father that had an empty wallet just like the one shown in the picture. He used to show it to me and say to the wallet "Hello down there". TeeHee

midnightmoon05 · Answer

I did…not knowing. A good guy.
he was living with his mom … okay

he has a good job. Okay

not okay - he spend 1/2 of salary on alcohol so he can’t support himself.
not okay - soon enough I also learned he takes drugs.
so I give it a chance not because he was broke… but the alcohol and drugs are always a deal breakers especially at that point I have my 2 kids.

MikeTheBartender · Answer

Well I don't know about date, but I know when I was broke and bartending in New York City a lot of them would have sex with me. But as far as dating it's just a matter of chemistry, also some women want to date guys that are on their level. They don't want to date somebody that makes more money than them. They want to grow together.

DizzyDesii · Answer

I always saw it as kinda cute dating someone on the come up. But once they come up, they forget who was there with them while they were broke and they go find them a little trophy wife or whatever

GeminiDiamond · Answer

I could not. Means he doesn't save well, invest well... stems from lack of ambition. Now, that rare hair he became ambitious after circumstances that life threw at him which left him more passionate than what he has or has not know, and he wanted more for himself, not arrogantly, I would. But I've only known go getters.

RingOfFire · Answer

There are different reasons why someone might be broke. And it could be something temporary or a long-term issue. So not every case is the same.

And you can't really blame a woman for having an interest in how a man is going to support himself and a family. Men have always been the primary providers in a family since the human race existed. So women naturally have an interest in how good a provider a man will be and are attracted to men who are very strong providers.

luvstoned4him · Answer

With the hopes that he is an ambitious man willing to achieve something in life and won't wallow in his brokeness but learn from it and use it to rise and try again.

SugarSugarplum · Answer

I would date a broke boy if - and ONLY if - I saw potential. If I saw that he spent all day smoking weed and playing video games, then it's a hard pass from me.

Kelley1 · Answer

Because his potential is outstanding. That is, he is a poor college student that is also, good looking, very smart with top grades, and after he graduates will earn a high income.

exitseven · Answer

I was broke when I met my wife. We struggled when we first got married but I think it brought us closer together.

4ngelic · Answer

most people my age are still broke, so dont care about guys's money at all if they're close in age

Dongie · Answer

Why would one. There are plenty of unbroken guys around. If I liked a girl and she were broke the only thing to deter me would be why she's broke. Like drugs or something unsavory. Otherwise she would become unbroken with me.

alice55 · Answer

Physically attractive / good personality, bonus if he have a car and can bring me to see fireworks.

IWILLPLEASEYOU · Answer

I guess you are trying to find a good one that's not everything you want.
