Just how important is money, when you are looking to date a guy?

[ObsidianNuLL]

Be completely honest with yourself. Could you date someone who can't afford much?

[DaniaMQ]

There's a difference between a guy that can't afford much and being a lazy-ass all day and a guy that can't afford much but is doing what he can do as he works and all.
So if a guy that can't afford much because he's lazy and he doesn't want to do anything came to me, I would reject. The reason here isn't the money, it's because marriage isn't a game, if I was to get married to that type of guy, in the future it will only get worse. He'll want me to do everything financially and in the house. That will be too much for me to take. And in marriage the couple should be a team, not only one of them doing everything.

As for type 2. If he couldn't afford much but he wasn't lazy and like, he's giving it all he can. Then I have no problem whatsoever. Again, it's not the money. It's about his personality. He's not lazy.

He needs to have enough money to stand in his own feet and not rely on me. But if it’s the difference between a expensive night out or cooked meal and dvd in the house then I see no problems with that x

Not important, I don't care much for money. Majority of things I like doesn't require much money anyway. I like staying at home being under warm blanket and watching tv / read / listen to music / play video games. I don't need to be rich to do those stuff.

[superwomanxo]

I wouldn't completely deny. It is not money which is important in a relationship but the capability to earn it.

Most girls look for a guy who knows where he is headed and has an aim in life. Because that is what makes them know that even if a guy isn't rich he has the potential to be. :)

[witherwing]

Considering it never comes up in conversation, it's not that important. But I wouldn't date someone who couldn't support themselves. I don't need them to own anything fancy or luxurious, but they need to be able to pay their rent and buy food for themselves.

[Apricity]

If he's got a job, and actually is responsible, that's what matters. I've been with guys who worked fast food and guys who are in management. The guy I'm with now lost his job right after we started seeing each other, so I'd bring him dinner almost every night to help relieve a little stress and now he's making more money than I am. Had I been obsessed with money and left when he had none, I would've been throwing out a good thing

[Anonymous]

I thought it didn’t matter at all - but then I dated a lazy guy who just sat around all day. It matters a small bit that he has a job and understands why me taking mine seriously is important to pay the bills. Also that he’s not trying to move in with me after three weeks for a place to live (true story).

So he doesn’t need to be rich, but it’s better if he can support himself.

[LunaBei]

Not at all. How happy the guy makes me is what matters

[vivmatt]

If he can support himself financially, that's good enough. Don't want a child boy but don't need a sugar daddy

[azzntittiz]

lmfao, I want a man who can take care of me, I am already doing that on my own. Why else would I be marrying you? so I can keep taking care of myself, you and letting up jump in me like a trampoline every night? nice try.

[Rosalie28]

Not important, but at the same time ladies don't wanna be with a guy who can't afford for himself. He must be able to work and have an income at least. It shows ambition.

[itISmIris]

I've not a lot of money myself, so I've learnt to live with it. I probably couldn't date someone with much money, 'cause I would think he wastes it (if he spends a lot)

[Lolthisislame]

I've dated a guy who can't afford much. He screwed me over with a lease. So if he can't pay the bills by himself i not going to date him.

[Hurlyburly]

As long as he doesn't fully rely on me to financially support him, its fine. I do not earn enough for two people.

[jennifer_bloom]

It depends how much I like the guy. If he is virtuous then his income doesn't matter. If he is not virtuous - then I expect him to be rich.

[catj9999]

I don't care about money but if he sits at home on his ass all day it'll make him less attractive but I still won't care

[Anonymous]

As long as he's not homeless and at least has a job, then it doesn't matter to me.

[Natalia_Atxa]

I don't care much about money to be honest. I don't want him to invite me to diner and stuff like that.

[fallenstar789]

Not important. Just want someone to love me. Love conquers all. Together we can do so much :)

[Anonymous]

Money is definitley not important to me. He doesn't have to drive a fancy car or have a great paycheck. If i really love someone, I love them for them. ANYTHING else does not matter

[Markella88]

If he don’t have job I have no Interest if he job I’m find.

[Anonymous]

The guy with a big heart is the richest of all. It does not matter if his empty wallet matches his bank account.

[lilmissumshine]

Ok now a car is the most needed necessity. he needs a place to stay so yeah that's an issue. i don't want a guy eating out of trash cans

[TacosRAwesome]

As long as he can take care of himself I don't care much.

[moonpie89]

It's important. I work hard for my money so I prefer to date someone likewise

[Hazey]

Not at all important.
