| Would you date a man who lost everything?
Posted: 3/10/2005 1:51:16 PM | well I do it all the time.... maybe not lost everything but I've date a lot of guys over the years who were following their passion (i.e. writers etc.) and had little income to show for it. Hell I don't care, I wanted to be with THEM not there money and possessions!!!! | |

Posted: 3/10/2005 8:16:55 PM | | of course I would money cant buy you happiness .. If you really cared for him its thru good or bad times.. sometimes in life we go thru trials and stuff.. but if you got someone that cares for you unconditionally thats more than any amount of money.. | |

Posted: 3/10/2005 8:48:18 PM | | Come on ya'll, it really depends on how he lost it......... True, money can't buy happiness, but lack of it sure can buy some hard times... So the Love better be real, cause the poverty sure is. | |

Posted: 3/11/2005 4:29:52 PM | | I lost my money due to the divorce and I tried to open up a franchise in the automobile industry when I lived in Las Vegas. I kept putting money into it until it would finally take hold. I was waiting for January, becuase I was suppose to open up San Diego and LA for the owners but when the owners broke up the business due to an allege assult, I was stuck out to dry. I sold somethings and drove back to Dallas to be closer to my girls. I started to work for a retail store until I found something better. I believe I did find something better and which will start me on the road of success and a new career. | |

Gee that was intelligent.I've been there too a few times in the past.What those women who left you when you needed them most don't realize is that THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FINANCIAL SECURITY!!!!Anyone,no matter how successful or hard working they are,can lose everything multiple times.It's no reflection on who they are,their character or anything else.My ex wife was instrumental in me losing a job and then when I was in line for another one she left me with the kids.Go figure.Yes I am a little bitter,probably will always be. | |

That's a very good point.Usually if there is no good reason a guy loses everything (bad economy,divorce,whatever)there is usually a substance abuse problem.So if you run across a guy you like and he appears to be unstable,look for a substance abuse problem or some mental/emotional issue. | |

Amen Brother.
I'm going out with my father today to help the veterans at Parkwood Hospital here in London and I think back on how many different jobs my father had and how sometimes we couldn't afford all the crap that our neighbours had but my mom still stuck with him and went out to work herself. They're celebrating 50 years in November. I may have had some bad luck in my life but but it's been my good fortune to have them for parents. I explain more in the thread about parents. | |

Posted: 3/12/2005 9:56:21 PM | Absolutely!
Money doesn't make the person..
the person is who he or she is on the inside.
to feel anyother way, would be shallow-minded, in my opinion. | |

Posted: 3/15/2005 7:22:40 PM | ok....here is my simple answer:
Depends on how well and how much I know this man, I maybe would.
I may help him and see if he pays me back...but if he doesnt....then NO.
But overall, I wont judge him becoz he's lost everything. I would just appreciate the man that he is.....so its a YES...!
Ciao

Posted: 3/16/2005 6:30:35 AM | Why does almost every women whose answered this question believe that a man who has lost everything is going to ask for your finacial help?
I've lost everything before, and it'll be a frosty day in hell before I ask for money from anyone let alone a women I'm involved with. Call it pride call it stupidity call it what ever you want but I have to earn it back myself. You never appreciate anything thats given to you, without effort. | |

Posted: 3/16/2005 9:32:24 AM | | Jamie - because so many of them do, and have no qualms about asking (or even demanding) financial help. As in "if you love me you'll prove it by paying for" this, that & the other, "I'd do the same for you" - which is something they'll never have to worry about because they never intend to be self-supporting. Yeah there are a lot of guys with pride who won't do that. But there are a whole lot who will - and they'll ask for anything - up to and including bailing them out of jail, paying off their debts, and filling up the gas tank of your car so they can drive it to go cheat on you. | |

Posted: 3/16/2005 11:02:55 AM | Geeze Astrosky, sounds like your descibing my first wife. Just reminded me of something my second wife did. She wanted a car to get around in. I happened to get a deal from work on a 2 year old Grand Cherokee. Loaded.
She got upset (Really upset) because it wasn't a Volvo or a BMW.
I don't think I've heard yet of a guy on these forums express a demand for the women he's interesed in to be finacially independent.
I quess it's hard to unlearn a lot of the old rules
Just curious . Whats the meaning behind your handle (Astrosky)? | |

Posted: 3/16/2005 11:29:42 AM | Let me reframe that most men are happy when the woman is happy and if a man is not taking care of the woman most men are very very unhappy with themself and begin to rolll in self pity and tend to take it out on the woman I know this from exprence I'm not saying that all men are like this but I would be leary. Maybe date but not go any farther untill I totaly feel confortable witht he situration..
This subject brings to mind a story in the bible of a protitue who washed Jesus feet with her hair.. She followed Jesus every where after that. And did Jesus not give up everything that he had. But yet Jesus was a perfect man. And without his dying for our sins we would all fall short.
I don't judge a relationship on a mans pocket book or bank account. | |

You might want to do a little more research on that "Prositute" According to the latest research into the Qumran Scrolls found in 1948 ( I believe?) tha woman was actually Mary Magdelene. Jesus the Christ's WIFE! That episode was during the marriage ceremony.
Jesus was a Hellenoist Jew and their marriage rules were very weird compared to todays standards.
Just about everything in the old and new testaments was a parable describing things for "Those who have ears" meaning if you didn't know the code you didn't understand the underlying message. Remember the romans wern't too fond of the jews back then and were always finding any excuse for sticking them up on a cross.
I'm not a religious fanatic. I just love a mystery and have been doing a lot of personal research into the greatest STORY ever written. | |

Posted: 3/16/2005 12:00:50 PM | Yes I've heard the rumors of her being Jesus wife but there is no proof on this subject.
I don't care if she was his wife or not either way he paid the ultimate price for our savior.
And yes I knew her name. | |

| Would you date a man who lost everything?
Posted: 3/16/2005 12:26:35 PM | Are you sure he paid that price? Again I refer to the Qumran Scrolls. Been buried for almost 2,000 years. They tell a much different story than the one the catholic church would have you believe. They have a lot of the gospels that didn't make it into the catholics version because they said things that contradicted their version of history. I don't believe half of what i hear or read anymore unless I've gotten it from 3 different sources.
They tell of the story of Jesus being crucified but taken down after only several hours. He was drugged to seem to be dead.
Anyways this is called thread hijacking
