Wolud you date somebody who earns minimum wage?

Someone's salary wouldn't be a consideration in my choosing to date them.

Yes. I don't see how that effects anything; it's the 21st century, neither of us would be financially dependant on the other. I'd date someone on unemployment if they were a decent human being. What does it matter if I ended up baying the bigger share of the bills? Given ten minutes and a calculator we could pay the same proportion of our wages toward stuff to make it stay fair. The only exception would be if they turned out to be a leech and only there because I was comparatively rich, although that is extremely unlikely thanks to the current government's being about as good as appendicitis.

Couldn't care less. I love someone for who they are not how much they are worth.
Always slit everything 50:50 anyway so with a seperate economy the other party's income isn't important.

Who cares?
Someone's wage does not define who they are

OP, most people are students here. How many people on TSR are actually in full time employment and are earning above minimium wage?
So they'd have to be a hypocrite to say no, and remember we are in a recession where jobs are scarce, a lot of university graduates are working minimium wage jobs or are unemployed.

Edge hill uni?

I've heard of Edgeville - a town in Runescape on the edge of the wilderness, and the Battle of Edgehill in the Engish Civil War, but I have never heard of "Edge hill uni".

Its a real university.

Yes.

There's nothing wrong with minimum wage, generally it's bloody hard work.
My dad had to get 2 jobs when I was born and we were still pretty poor, but he worked his arse off to support us and eventually worked his way up & now earns a very reasonable amount.
I'd rather be with someone who's willing to work then who thinks such jobs are beneath them.

Besides, surely how much someone earns isn't something you find out straight away anyway, so the people who're saying no are basically saying if they really liked someone and enjoyed spending time with them.. they would dump them as soon as they found out what they earnt? Charming :rolleyes:

Of course I would, at least they are working despite the minimum wage pay rather than sitting at home on benefits all day.

A chick's income wouldn't influence my decision to date her, however, if I was going to settle down with someone, I would have to take into account how financially stable they are, their potential, or really, how much of a desire they have to make something of their life. At the end of the day though, the person they are and the love between the two of you is what matters the most.

The amount of money a man earns is a big factor in which women or how many of them he is able to date.

Although to think that people who earn minimum wage would be unable to get a date with someone is stupid.
