This thread is quite a good illustration how women has absolutely no idea what happening and what is the current situation. Maybe in Texas you got jobs, but regardless....
Even guys who still have some saving or a job will not go around and throw the money around aimlessly for some barely known woman off the net in today's world, especially knowing that he might never see her again. Your ideal boyfriend was in 2006 or before, maybe 10 years ago, if you are looking for someone , things have changed and if you won't keep up of how things are, you will be up for a cruel wake up call. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBIJH6--vsM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4P3sdOUxco http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loNB3Px2NQk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46r4yxttThw Oh here we go. Winning the lottery? Hardly. There are plenty of jobs, it's just people don't want to work for minimum wage. Xenomorpheyes you really need to wake up because not even minimum paying jobs are available! |

When you have the time, you ain't got the money. When you have the money, you ain't got the time. Or so it seems. Lord ain't that the truth............... |

I've met people who've dated and moved in with homeless people and they've struck gold. Umm..how do you move in with a homeless person? As they say, love don't pay the rent. I know that's not romantic enough for some people, but it's the truth. |

Xenomorpheyes you really need to wake up because not even minimum paying jobs are available! I'm perfectly aware of the economic situation of this country. I don't need to wake up to it. I will stick to my statement. And trust me, I don't need a man to support me. |

If someone doesn't have a job, they have no business dating imo. Priorities! First you get a job, then you will have the LUXURY of dating. Horny? Use your hand...I would say hire a hooker, but if you can't afford to date, you can't afford a hooker. I pray that you are not serious. Since when is dating a luxury? Why is it that you have to spend a ton of money on a date? After the first meet and greet over coffee (a buck and a half), why can't a date be a walk in the park or some other freebie event? People need companionship even more so during econimic hard times. Another person to boost them in emotional ways. If you dont date when you are flint (broke), you become bitter and resentfull. Everyone deserves love and companionship, rich or poor. And its not always about sex when you date. What ever happened to good old conversation? Connecting with another person? I am a full time student and mom, I couldnt find or get a job even if I were paying the employer to hire me at this time. And to think I would have to miss out on companionship and friendship because I am out of work is nutz. |

I know that's not romantic enough for some people, but it's the truth. It may be your truth but not mosts. Homeless people are not permantly homes-less, residentially challenged for life you know. And, with todays economy, more foreclosures on the horizon, "another person to boost them in emotional ways' as JustMe stated , sometimes is exactly what a soul needs when they've been literally kicked to the curb. People have invited people with out a place to live into their homes because they did not judge a person by their economic status. That is one of this countries biggest ignorant problems today. You don't make $, well, you're not good enough for me...is one of the messages thats coming through from your threads. Surely...thats not what you intended, is it? Don't be so quick to look out your window and know all the facts...you could become one of those facts someday in a blink of a eye, and become another statistic even quicker. |

Guys if they find the same thing and insight from the ladies. Since I started dating I have found that expectation"s are so high in regards to money. I have a good Job working for the state, but it's not the income I use to make in sales. I pay for dates and I have some time to spend with a significant other. But I am a single dad and I have three children. I find women that either have no job or women that expect you to be rolling in dough. Personally i would rather date a girl that's broke than one that is expecting too much! Wish I could find the balance! |

I care about the person not what they have! I have no idea what made u think that? It has just been my experience that online dating is kinda like a blind date. So i tend to lean toward "hey lets just be friends and see where it goes". it's kind of a turn off when a woman expects you to wine and dine them for the pleasure of meeting them! Now once i have met them and invited them it's different! |

If you date or marry for money.... It'll be the hardest job you ever had!
I see nothing wrong with spoiling the one I am attracted to... If she likes me for it.... Fantastic! Those who complain about not having money should seriously consider their insecurities about the moolaw$$$$... PS: Spoiling comes in many ways... be creative! Most of you baboons can't come up with nice words or nice gestures even when you have money. shhhesh |

Money isn't the only factor to date..actually has very little to do with it. My best date ever (which was quite some time ago) was a couple bottles of water and a hike through the canyon.
I was married to a man with money..it never made me feel loved..I took my boys and left. I'd rather live in a camper in the woods, cook beans on a open fire and feel completely loved and safe than go out to a 200 dinner anytime... |

OP: I do not find that women are unemployed or have high expectations of my salary...
I do not tell women how much money I make, it's none of their business... perhaps if we were considering co-habitation or marriage I would talk financial specifics... if a woman wanted to know how much money I make, I would show her the door. I do, however - have criteria to the types of women that I do date. I am attracted to confident, strong women who do not need rescued - and are college educated. I find, for me - the type of woman that I end up with using that criteria are professional types (lawyers, doctors, executives) but not all have been. I have dated hair stylists, aestheticians, sales people - professionals in their own right... I am not driven by how much money thay make. What they do expect is that I have my S**T together, and that I am not an azz... as I expect the same from them. Perhaps you need to raise the bar a bit. Also, it depends upon the image you are projecting... if you are projecting "I've got lots of money" - it becomes easy for a woman to begin to assume certain things... So, basically I disagree with my own experiences as an example for myself, but I can understand how a guy could feel the way you describe - if he's not being "strict" in the type(s) of women he is trying to date... $.02 |
