No. That person has to have some type of savings and such for when he's looking to start a family. I wouldn't mind dating a person who's trying make something of himself. But if he's a lazy bum that refuses to get an education, work and save his money, shows that he's ambitious and have a future planned, forget it. We wouldn't be compatible. I'm not all up there myself. But marriage life is tough, why make it tougher if he isn't doing anything. And by poor, I mean dead broke poor, no education, nada. I'm sorry. I personally can't.

depends on why he's poor~ if he's in or just finished school, or is working whatever job he can get while he looks for one in his field, that doesn't bother me as long as he can take care of himself (ie pay his own rent, bills, groceries, etc).
however, if he's poor because he'd rather sit on his ass and play video games all day, then sorry, no. no one mooches off me and my hard work.
No. Everyone deserves to find love, but I prefer someone who is within my socioeconomic background.
Reality is that its a very attractive feature - living with someone who will take the financial load off your shoulders. The idea of living comfortable and not living by paycheck.
I'm getting to the age where me mentioning my desire to become a doctor helps with picking up women. I've recently started the practice of making up a lower paying occupation to weed out the women I'd rather not waste time on.

Yes, I won't marry someone because of their bank account. I'm fine with being the bread winner. It would be easier if he could help financially but as long as he makes me happy and works hard, im good. Only issue is if he's poor because he's lazy or lacks brains.
No. Sure love is important but the idea of him having no chance of making money in life outweighs everything else, I don't want to live in a financially starving marriage, and no way in hell am I about to support him.
If a poor man wants to love with you forever and he can do each and everything for you and your smile and to make you happy always, and on the other hand, if a rich man do not love you truly and he decides to leave you in future, and he force you to live according to himself, then what person you will choose?
Meh, I'm already dating one and I'd be happy to marry him.
women like stability, so I would think she would put off marriage until he was more stable.
a poor man is not a man without work. would i marry him? no. lets be realistic but i would stay with him and help him build himself up and once he was at my level than yes, we would get married
You're so right, don't marry those scrubs. They'll be wanting to borrow your car and stuff, and eating all your food.
Sue , if he loves me for me, and doesn't just want me to support him and owe him money , then why not? Money shouldn't play a role in datng as long as you both are contributing to dates and bills when that time comes.
so what about a poor man that has potential to out earn you? everyone here seems to be commenting on this guy to have "no chance" of earning
The only guys I ever dated were poor -- but this isn't because of something I specifically looked for. It just happened.
I personally wouldn't care as long as the love is real. That can always change but true love is hard to come by.
Aw. That means us impoverished undergrads don't stand a chance.
I would, if he is responsible enough to handle relation
you'll get more affection from a poor man than u can a wealthy man. what I gonna do when that $ crashes 😂 then u got no choice cuz everyone will be poor then what will u do?
Depends what's you're definition of poor? Do you mean homeless or they have a job but are barely making ends meet?
My wife had more savings than I had when we married.
If I was a woman I will marry him, but he sure has to work. I wouldn't care how much money he makes, he just has to make some money to provide. A lazy man is terrible man.
as long as he wasn't poor because he didn't try new things
On the flipside no man would have qualms about marrying a poor woman.
i can't even believe this like if it was the love of your life like yeah duh
