Would You Date a Guy Who Is Broke?

Admit it, ladies. You'd love to fly off on a private jet for a weekend in Paris with a handsome date who pays for that bottle of Dom with his platinum AMEX.

But in this economy, it's much more likely that your new man's as broke as a joke--and maybe even unemployed. Is that a dealbreaker for you? Or can you find a way to successfully date on an empty wallet?

Women these days are in it for the money.

Sorry but a woman loves a creatively romantic man. Pack a picnic, find a wild flower field, take a blanket, and frolic in nature. That date will be better than any expensive restaurant.

A date can be anything different. Play me a song on your guitar, allow me to pose for your canvas as you paint. Lay back and find pictures in the clouds. Just use your imagination a little.

Date?
Hell they'll have six kids with one

Many of these individuals are called scrubs. For some reason, there is a particular interracial attraction there that leads to reproduction. The female has no clue that she has hurt her socioeconomic chances majorly from getting involved with said scrub, who moves on and has more children with other gullible women with similar low self-esteem. The result? The gubment be takin' care of all'vem. Sorry, had to vent.

I not only dated him...I married him! I had been married to a VERY wealthy man who was not a particularly nice person. Divorced him and got nothing but the custody of my son. Met my current husband who was broke but the kid=ndest man I'd ever met. We've been happily married for 22 years! Oh and by the way, he has been come successful in those 22 years! I'm thinking it's bcause he has had a good wife by his side the whole time!

Money has nothing to do with matters of the heart for those of us who have a soul.

It depends on why he is broke. Laziness, poor judgement, reckless spending, an entitlement attitude are all deal breakers especially since I have respectable assets of my own.(I would wonder why he was interested in me.)

If he had honorable reasons for his circumstances, and he was addressing them maturely, then he deserves consideration. I would respect this man more than some arrogant rich guy.
