GIRLS- Would you date a male who is broke?

This is something that I often speak about, would you girls date a male who was poor? or had a lack of money?

I don't think money is everything but I LOVE to see a man who works hard and reaches for the stars to become succesful and is willing to go any lengths to do well. In my case, I think it's all about ambition. So I guess the question here is also whether you'd date a guy who doesn't have that motivation to do well?

I doubt I would
I don't mind if he's broke in the moment i.e. trying to get somewhere with his life so is a poor student, having a career change, or has just invested in starting up a company etc. But if he has no ambition for the future and wants to be a mediocre bum all his life then no I would not date him.

Has been broke for a very long time? No. Broke for only a short amount of time for a particular reason and will have money in the in the near future? Yes. I would not want someone relying on me for money and/or not having money to contribute to bills, food etc.
I wouldnt date someone with a lazy attitude but there bank balance isn't important. Say my fiancé fell ill and couldn't work, I'd love him all the same :smile:

I dated a guy who had no money, I loved him more than anything and got him all foods he loved and never asked for him to pay me back or anything... Anyway 2 months ago he got a job and dumped me a month ago.

exactly that :wink:
I would date someone who is broke as in 'All my bills are paid and there's nothing left' broke.

I would date someone who is temporarily broke and has lost a job and is actively looking for another one.

I wouldnt date someone who is broke, blames the world for their misfortunes or/and is lazy and doesn't think they should work for their money.

Same here. There is nothing I can't stand more than somebody going on about all the negatives in the world, they always seem to have an excuse.

I don't give people like that the time of day, excuses get you nowhere fast!
If he's broke, because he doesn't work hard and has no motivation in life then no.
However if he works hard, studies and is broke but has motivation then yes I would

Exactly. At the end of the day we're all going through it. But we work hard to get to the top no matter what it takes! I'm all for my hard working buddies!
