Would you date a homeless person?

Question

Saramad_Hill · Accepted Answer

Really depends on why they're homeless. If they're someone who fell on hard times, or just unlucky in a big, cruel world? Sure, I'd date them if they matched my preferences mentally and physically. If they're homeless because of their own actions? Wouldn't they just drag me down or use me?

If I truly believe you'll be a good match with me, and that you could use a second chance, I'd love to help someone get back on their feet and a place to stay. Not because I want someone to be indebted to me, but because they wouldn't be the only one benefitting from my assistance. I'd be getting a partner out of the deal, and so would they.

I would see it as 99.9% impossible to really date a “homeless person”.

It is harder to dig yourself out of debt than it is to get yourself into debt.

To even acquire an adequate job you need a 1) Phone and Computer 2) A Means of Transportation 3) Education AND Experience to Meet Criteria for Job 4) A Good Suit

If you are homeless and can’t dig yourself out or lack resources , you are f*cked.

I will only date someone through dating apps or meeting them naturally through job or at the gym or something so, I would find it impossible to really date a stereotypical homeless individual.

I would not. I might give them $10 which they can combine with donations from others so they can pay for a hair cut that might help them get through a job interview and obtain a job which could get them off the streets. I learned by watching Oprah Winfrey there was a cafe manager who purposely hired a homeless woman to help her get off the street. Now the cafe employee is healthy, fit, intelligent, with a full time job, and you would have no clue she was ever on the streets.

I will date someone financially struggling but lives at home doesn't matter whether it's rented or parents home. No problem at all but completely homeless? No. I care about hygiene of my partner, to be honest and don't want to worry about my partner all the time.

Summeroflove · Answer

Not going to say never. Being homeless can mean different things. Obviously I wouldn’t want someone whose addicted to drugs and is a criminal or a prostitute. But there are homeless people who aren’t homeless by choice.

HawkPerception · Answer

I would. I never judge someone based on their financial situation or the misfortunes they've had in their life. I judge them based on their character... and quite honestly... appearance.

Simslover92 · Answer

It really depends. If they are living out of their car temporarily or staying in hotels then maybe but if they are on the street, I'm not sure I would.

Avicenna · Answer

It would depend on the overall circumstances, but if she’s homeless because of mental illness or a criminal record, has hygiene problems and possibly an STD, definitely not.

EzraIsShy76028 · Answer

I mean I myself am already extremely mentally unstable. And most homeless people, or at least the ones who STAY homeless and never bounce back; tend to also be extremely mentally unstable. And I hear that even for people who are not initially mentally ill the harsh conditions of homeless life can provoke mental illness.

So either way, not recommended for two extremely unstable people to be together, lol.

The only case I could see this working in is if one is relatively rich and relatively mentally well off, looking to "fix" the homeless person they're in love with. Take the person in, take care of them, help them find a job, etc.

But let's be honest, the vast majority of people are NOT doing that, lol. The image that comes to mind when most people think of "homeless person" is not a good one. They're probably imagining some gross looking middle aged man with a dirty beard who never showers. And that's unfortunately the stereotype.

Miristheiss · Answer

I highly doubt it.

I am married. I dated for marriage. I was vetting a woman to marry. None of this degenerate that is common in the west now where you just date for "fun" and date around for years. I was only going to marry a virtuous woman.

A woman who lived on the street was most likely on drugs, had sex to get stuff from men. The girl I was after probably still lived with her parents or had just lived on her own for a few years.

How old is a woman that is so far removed from her family and is so on her own that she doesn't even have a place to stay?

What kind of F'd up life does she have?

A situation where I would have dated a woman who was homeless would have been very, very rare.

Beckybooboo · Answer

If it was a temporary situation, then I guess I could if I knew he had potential. There was a question like this a while back and a friend of mine on here said it would be wonderful, "because when the dates over, I can just drop her off anywhere. I'll save on gas". 🤦

Kaneki05 · Answer

For sure, in fact it's probably a great thing. She can move into my bed right away and cuddle me. I don't mind buying her food and some basic stuff if she can't afford it, though I would hope she's on UC so she can afford such stuff.

The only problem is I'm not living by myself, if I had my own flat then no problems at all.

McLlovin · Answer

No. They probably be using me to get what they want. I respect them but i wouldn’t date them because of a conflict of interest. And lets be frank here, they’re not exactly the cleanest people in the world. They probably shouldn’t be focused on a relationship at this point anyway. Work on 1 problem at a time

Anonymous · Answer

Living on the street homeless would be hard. How do you even find them to go on dates if they have no way of contacting them? There would also be a lot of worry with that because living on the streets is not an easy life. Even if they are a good person, a lot of other people, are not. As someone else mentioned, being homeless and couch surfing or living with friends while you sort yourself out is different from someone actually sleeping on the ground, eating out of trash cans homeless.

Staximus · Answer

There are a lot of homeless people around the neighborhood where I work at one of my jobs. I'd say 90% of them are hard drug addicts, on meth or fentanyl. The other 10% are just mentally ill as fuck. I'm not going to deal with either one of those problems.

emeraldsaphire · Answer

I guess so, It would depend on why they were homeless. Did I know them before, how did I meet them. But like if a homeless guy just waked up to me with a coupon from taco bell, and asked me out. I'd pass XP

Anonymous · Answer

Absolutely I saw a female that was homeless in North Carolina while I was on vacation it must’ve been temporary cause she looked real good she was actually pretty hot and looked freshened up, but I know they wouldn’t look like that if it was full-time

genericname85 · Answer

nope. i think if you're homeless, you gott more pressing things to fix in your life than your relationship status and i personally would leave someone to fix that first, cause i'm not gonna deal with it for them.

4ngelic · Answer

definitely no. most of them are addicts or drunks, and are often severely mentally ill with things like shizophrenia

Zack-Bann · Answer

No. If she’s homeless. Getting her cookie licked should be the last of her worries  I wouldn’t insert myself into that situation

Anonymous · Answer

Im not saying I wouldn't but I'd be casous about bringing her to my place. Considering she's homeless I feel she might rob me, I know I'm stereotyping but still, plus how would you date a homeless person, where would you pick them up from for a date?

Nikki1989 · Answer

Why are they homeless? That would be the deciding factor here.

WindAtMyBack · Answer

It won't automatically rule them out. It's not an instant deal breaker.

Ms_Facesitter · Answer

Only if he's attractive, nice and wants to get out of that situation.

HighValue · Answer

As long as she wasn't on drugs, was attractive, and had good morals.

butterly248 · Answer

I'm homeless, living in refuge because I fled from abuse

SotiCoto · Answer

I've no interest in dating ANYONE... let alone a homeless person.

Quetaismymiddlename · Answer

No sorry to say I don’t want to be joining them on the street or them coming to my house if they aren’t willing to work.

faafo · Answer

I’m probably going to get shit for this, but no. Trying to date someone while you can’t even take care of your basic needs tells me you don’t have your priorities straight.

Anonymous · Answer

Yeah i would, we would feast on rotten leftovers we found in the trash, then head under a bridge to make love like it's the honeymoon suite

Jamie05rhs · Answer

No, I would not. I wouldn't be able to trust that she wanted me for me.

Pohjolan · Answer

Maybe if she is a hardcore survivalist or living a nomad lifestyle.
