Girls, Would you date a guy with no money?

No money is vague. He is homeless and literally doesn't have a penny? Of course not unless I obviously were also homeless. No money is hyperbole for very little? It matters why. Is he jobless and making no effort? No one wants to get involved with unmotivated people with little chance of them contributing monetarily. It's hard enough to support yourself as it is. Trying to support another person also is very difficult. If he's in school or something and is showing he has a plan for being a useful member of society in the future, then people are understanding of that. Not having extra money to spend on dating because he's barely getting by is understandable. But dating generally isn't cheap, though there are some activities you can do while getting to know someone that don't cost much but worrying about dating seems like it shouldn't even be his priority if there are obviously more important things to worry about at the time. Then once he's figured that out, the cost of dating isn't a burden for him.

When you say "no money" how do you mean? Like cannot support himself or just doesn't make a lot and just gets by. There is a huge difference between the two. If somoene is able to get by in life but otherwise doesn't have a lot to spend then yeah I can deal with that. There are plenty of things that don't cost a lot to do. Going to the beach or the park or whatever is pretty much free other than getting there and I have a car so that is doable. Now if you mean no money as in nothing... then that is a no. I think a guy in that position or even when he is just getting by is better off focusing on improving his life, getting a job, getting a higher paying job, etc, etc. Dating shouldn't be a priority over those things.

yes, my boyfriend is not rich. However its very important that a man is trying to get money, he works and is ambitious. The turn off is actually that he doesn't do anything with his life to improve it.

How much money do you consider rich

There’s a big difference between having no money because he’s living paycheck to paycheck, and having no money because he’s downright irresponsible. Only one of the two are worth dating.

No. at 25+, there's no reason for a dude to not have his own income to afford his lifestyle.

Yes…. law and medical students etc.. should be ashamed of themselves
