It depends upon why they are doing so. But the older I get the less it becomes an acceptable option as fewer reasons become acceptable. | |

| Would you date someone who is on welfare?
Posted: 3/11/2008 10:00:22 PM | I was forced to go on welfare when my now ex beat the daylights out of me and I had no place to go. I went on welfare in May 1999. While I was on welfare, I went back to college and got my 2 year business office degree. I got a job, got off welfare and have been working ever since.
Welfare is only for a short period but I know and see people who keep having babies so their money and food stamps increases. THIS IS SOOOO WRONG ON SOOOO MANY LEVELS! They don't want to work. This is called LAZINESS. Why work when you can get free money from the government?
I hope you get all your furniture, etc from that girl and then just move on. You may not know where your ex fiance is now, but if it's meant to be, you will be together again. In the meantime, go out and have fun! Live life to the fullest!! I wish you all the best in everything.

Some use it as a job only cuz they haven t learned what a job is... being the kind people that we are..we can be role models.. Every person has a story. I worked all my life, situations changed-and now I have three grandkids to care for and I am working full time and "on Welfare" I am worthy of a date! I see the look on peoples face at the grocery store, when I pull out my EBT card, for groceries ..I smile,and think to myself...."Wanna Take a Walk in my shoes for a day!" I am on the other side looking out..
Nutshell( if the women~man on welfare are real),...date them
(if that is their job.......... find anotherdate)
Welfare is made to help, not to suck off of!
you be the judge..

Posted: 3/11/2008 11:34:44 PM | Yes, I would date someone on welfare. I believe there is usually an array of circumstances that affect where, financially or professionally, a person is at any given point in his/her life. As a result, I would no more discriminate against a woman on welfare than I would a woman who worked in a poorly-compensed occupation. What would be more vital to me is to get a sense of what type of person (character and personality) that woman is, why she is in the predicament in which she finds herself, and whether she is ready to begin improving it.
I've spent varied time unemployed, on welfare, under-employed and under-paid, and employed and very well-compensated. But I've still been the reasonably-intelligent, sweet, charming, handsome and (er-hem) "modest" guy that I am, that entire time. For me, then, it's not all about the money but, rather, about my perception and evaluation of the woman, herself.  | |

Posted: 3/12/2008 1:33:24 AM | I'm far less concerned with welfare recipients, and much more concerned with other issues/people, like; quality-of-work; work-stress; the apparent increasing divide between the rich and poor; the third world; quality of life, love and liberty; censorship; media control/propaganda; the dubious "work ethic"; foreign debt; debt slavery; fiat currency; SUV's; McMansions; urban sprawl; the WTO; civilian casualties; Africa; corporate-welfare/corruption/greed/layoffs/CEO's inflated salaries; government corruption; the treatment of prisoners-of-war; education; universal health-care; flexploitation; industrial prisons; minority/human rights; Enron; sweatshops; outsourcing; child labour/soldiers; conspicuous consumption; rampant consumerism; materialism; problems with capitalism; profit over people; pollution; American foreign policy; military industrial complexes; weapons dealing and manufacturing; dubious marketing practices; conflicts-of-interest; puppet governments; land and resource misuse...
Sure, I'd be pleased to date someone on welfare.

Posted: 3/12/2008 2:37:39 AM | | not everyone who is on welfare is like that... some are on it to survive and need the support. I know this cuz my mom is still on it and I was in a household all of my life till now that had welfare. Its just a judgement call and you just got stuck with someone who took advantage of the situation.... you deserve bettter then that | |

Posted: 3/12/2008 5:19:20 AM | | People can be "on welfare" for many reasons,if I really got along with someone who was "on welfare" it wouldn't bother me,but in your particular situation,as you have described it,I'm sorry to say but sounds like she used you for furniture ,but you have responsibility in this "debt" thing too,as you CHOSE to get nito debt BUYING HER furniture,going back to her is your CHOICE again,but I warn you,those big screen TV's are mighty expensive these days.Good luck with that.Here is a concept,date someone who already has furniture,lol. | |

Posted: 3/12/2008 7:29:07 AM | | Does it make someone un educated because they are on th welfare. I work part time, my money made up by benefits, i want to be there for my children, who have been through so much, I feel they need me. I also attend college to better my chance of employment as the children grow. Just because I dont earn huge sums does not make me un educated. You chose to split up with your ex fiancee and you chose to help the girl on benefits. | |

Posted: 3/12/2008 9:31:26 PM | I have to answer this one. I am 46 yrs old now. I have worked from the time I was 14 yrs old. Right around the time I turned 40 I started having physical problems that got worse and worse. I was diagnosed with various medical conditions that are genetic that I thought I had escaped. Depending on the day, I can wake up and be in so much pain that it leaves me in tears and as I am allergic to aspirin and ibuprofen alot of the drugs that I could take for the these problems are not available to me as they are similar in composition to aspirin, so the Drs won't even let me try them. So, I do what I can and continue on. Yes, I am on SSDI and I also receive a small portion of a pension. I also work part-time. I live in subsidized housing in a outer tier suburb of Mpls. I hate it! I would give anything to be able to work like I use to. I was the quintessential career woman. If the job meant working 60 hours a week then that's what I did! Now if I work when I am able. But I have to look at it that I am working! I am contributing!
Here's the sad part - do you know how many men will not even continue an email conversation once they find out you are on SSDI and live in subsidized housing because they think no matter what you say that you are looking for a Sugar Daddy? Way too many men!
I do not want a free ride, I did not choose to become disabled, I do not expect you to buy me things, I do not expect you to pay my reduced rent, I do not expect you to pay my bills, I do not expect you to pay for my car repairs. It would be nice if you are mechanically inclined and something breaks to check it out but I will take it to my mechanic and I will pay for it. My parents taught me long ago to not be beholden to anyone. And that you need to work for what you have and that as long as it's honest work then it's good work.
But it still hurts when men (and women) judge you for where you live and how you support yourself. I have never asked for any help that I did not truly need. The only help I have even asked for in the last year was when I had to have a same day surgery I had to ask my nephew to drive me because those are the rules when you have anesthesia otherwise I would have drove myself. I even made sure as I would not be able to drive for several days that I had stocked up on any groceries so I would not need to bother anyone by asking to get a ride and I even paid the neighbor girl to walk my dog so that it was not a favor. I do not receive food support (I make too much money-LOL!), I do not receive free extra medical assistance but I do pay for it. I take care of me! I do not ask anyone else to nor do I expect anyone else to.
So please, before you automatically discount someone that is one "welfare" or "ssdi" please find out their circumstances and a little bit about them before you go and make a blanket statement that you would not go near anyone that is on assistance. Also please do not judge or look down on those of us who do receive some assistance in order to live and get by. The old saying about not knowing someone until you walk a mile in their shoes really is true!
Peace & Good Health to All! | |

Posted: 3/26/2008 3:22:44 AM | I have to agree with Lonewolf, lets not slam those that are genuine in their need for obtaining welfare.
Talk to congress, or your government and have welfare put back to what it originally was " a deserted wifes pension:" too many women are making a living spitting out babies for money. (if we remove the ease of getting handouts, they might try taking the pill!)
Or, if there must be a single parent pension make it, ok you made one mistake, thats it, were not paying for your repeated stupidity. You go on it with one kid, if you choose to keep having children, its not up to the tax payers to fund your lazy ass lifestyle.
Now if your talking out of non - work welfare, well this is where people could be cleaning graffity or something to earn it. At the end of the day it would make them feel less useless when actually earning their payments.......
Theres an old saying, "it doesnt matter what you do in life as long as you EARN an honest dollar:".............................  | |

Posted: 3/26/2008 1:19:15 PM | | Personally I dont think I could date someone on Welfare, well especially a life long welfare case lazy ass humps, If someone was temporary on welfare to better her self, I wouldn't have a issue, but I do have a issue with life long welfare cases who manipulate the system. | |

Posted: 3/26/2008 2:38:34 PM | SSDI is not welfare, it is an insurance program that you pay into while working. It is there for when you do get sick or injured. Welfare is something that is handed out not paid into like insurance.
Good luck and hope your health comes back LD. | |

Posted: 3/27/2008 7:48:45 PM | I suppose I should not be shocked at the number of people looking down their noses at people who use public assistance for any reason, but I have to say I am. I have to agree with an earlier poster or two ..."But for the grace of God go I".
I haven't used welfare since my children were little. I worked 50 hrs a week, and received food stamps and daycare assistance to help me get by.
Never pictured myself at 41, injured from my job, and needing to go back to that while the doctor tries to figure out if I am going to heal or not. But that is the fact.
I agree that there are those that abuse the system. They should be knocked off immediately from the payroll. But for someone to slam someone in general without knowing the circumstances, shame. | |

Posted: 3/28/2008 7:55:22 AM | Im thinking that if a social benefit recipient was to trap someone of better status....whose the smarter person here? Its really a no brainer. If they are on welfare, theres ussually a greatttttttttttt reason behind it! I would suggest for them to go to Bolivia where you dont have to work very hard and the banks are easy to rob..........
an example: When Harry met Sally
......."I am on welfare," said Sally as she battered her false eyelashes quickly against her light blue eyes. "I love you," said Harry. With his harvard education, he grabbed Sally into his arms.
Ok now who has more intellegence?  | |

Couldn't agree more. Basically, people make choices. In this country, if you have very little, then it's time to get off your duff and go to school. Education is the great equalizer in the US (and anyone can do it assuming at least an avg. IQ). Can you tell I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Republican? LOL | |

Posted: 3/29/2008 7:44:26 AM | Yes I would if they were like me and worked and didn't make enough money at the time so I lived in a section 8 apartment and got food stamps to supplement my income. Had 2 girls and was getting no child support.
I was blessed for the apartments were high end in a very nice part of town and were only 20% section 8, the rest of the residents were paying $1000 a month for rent and mine was just based on 30 % of my income.
I got better jobs and went off the assistance and then moved out of the apt. That was 13 years ago. Have been self supporting since.
So I can understand if it is temporary and there are kids involved, you have to get some help sometime.
Look at the circumstance of each person and yes if they are working and trying to better themselves then I would date them.

Posted: 3/29/2008 8:15:42 AM | | If that person is truely in need of assistance Then I can understand, One thing I would like to say here tho. as alot of us know that whenwe go to apply for a job in order to get that job 99%of us have tp pasyt a drug test? I feel that anyone on any type f assistance should also have tp pass a drug test in order to recieve some type of help We have to in ordr to get a pay check so should they. If they fail that test no CHECK At least you know the ,money they get wouldnt be going for drugs | |
