I would suggest that your friend works on his self esteem before getting in to the dating scene.
When a person becomes concerned enough with having enough money to date leaves the thought that he feels that that's all he has to offer. ( not a good place to start from)

I was strapped for years paying over a grand a month for one child. Yet My value as a person stayed as high as my payments...

whell I have been through it . I gave the house to my ex for my son for the sole purpose of his security he diserves a nice home, a place to live comfortably and go to school every child diserves a good home .
Im not a dead beat Ipay for my son responsiblys wich is a chunk of change obviously.
I have to pay now for another place of my own wich sets me back even more but I have no debt other than that everything I own is paid for by my own choice, so Im not broke, Im doin ok and my son is happy. I still know how to have a good time, and Im very good with the money I do have, I can stiil show a lady a good time.

how about some one like me ... Short Fat Squatty and no money ... I am a nice guy cause I have to be .... it is all I have left ....

I think a lot of people look past the faults in others when they have money ... true shallowness .... Before things happened I made more money than average ... I never had a problem dating and women found me funny and great to be with ...

I havent changed other than money .... and I am 100% honest about it ... yet, now I am way worse looking, not as funny and not that fun to be with .... paying for everythiing made me more popular

Oh well ... I keep pulling out in front of Mecedes in hopes to cash in on an accident ... dang they make great brakes for them ....

Money cannot make you happy but it sure helps day to day. I would look at the big picture. Little money and down on his luck but educated in some form and we connect and have that much needed chemistry or common goals is great. If we have little in common maybe no.. but it will not be entirly because of lack of money.

Wow-ing is overrated. As you get older it is because of the bigger picture.

Read your own post and it sounds like you can answer this on your own and Good Luck.

Ok, I'm going to vent cause I think it's pretty pathetic. I've read many, not all, replies. It's amusing how so many women have said it doesn't matter, yet when you look at guys profiles, 99% talk about their "toys", exotic vacations, and what great jobs they have or own their own business. They are the ones having women make first contact and dozens of favorites, I even saw a couple with over 100.

Show me a guy that says "I live in an apartment, work in a factory and we won't be able to spend all our nights together going out, but maybe a nice dinner once a month" and has any first contacts, interested replies, or even more than 1 or 2 women that add him to favorites, and THEN I'll believe the replies. Ok, start ripping on me now, it's ok.

I have no problem if someone is cash-poor, but it's a definite turn off when they TALK about it constantly! You know, going on n on about how the ex wife shafted them, how unfair it is that he's paying so much child support, saying they'd LIKE to take me out but have no money... The amount in the bank doesn't matter nearly as much as the ATTITUDE about it! And, if a guy gets creative in overcoming not having much money it can be better than any fancy expensive night on the town, trust me. I've been treated to scavenger hunts, picnics, a home movie marathon, cooking together, walks in beautiful parks and they were all great times. I understand a man can feel ashamed, but there's no need and apologizing/explaining/complaining about financial circumstances is the absolute worst.

It wouldn't bother me at all.It's the man i'm interested in not his bank account.

Anybody with lots of money can woo a shallow person with lavish gifts etc. The man who picked me a bunch of wild flowers by hand instead of buying an expensive bouquet? The man who made me a c.d of all my fav tunes etc etc would mean more to me by far.
Cash shouldn't be a factor at all.

If I could I would kiss you till all the taste left your mouth for your honesty....

No ripping at all, just one he77 of a thank you! If a guy made the same statement he would be shredded.

i'd date a broke guy. i have dated broke guys. you don't need money for fun you just need to be fun. but i don't think i'd date a divorced guy with kids... i'm 19, i'd be entering into Jeremy Kyle territory if I did that.

Absolutely yes. There is SO much more to a man than what is in his wallet.

Despite that I am totally agree with you, Just_hanging_out , I wanted to show you a profile of a man, who impressed me at some time. Of course, it's not boring, it doesn't state any money, and he doesn't even looking for a soulmate or something like that. But try to read the profile and then describe how it feels.

http://www.plentyoffish.com/member4791843.htm

It's incredible w/o any tangible assets involved

BTW (I know 2 or 3 people on each example):
1. many guys live in an appartment because they choose to - it's much easier and cheaper (not because they don't have money to maintain their own house).
2. guys who work at a factory make 2 or 3 average household's income for my state...it's totally enough for everything to live happily ever after
3. men, who make alot of money, most likely unable to spend every evening with you - and the statement about "once a month" better suits to them - they have own business and not available physically or even emotionall - they are "married" to the business

So, why these guys from your example don't have any favorites? And this one, I refer to has 977 of them? Is there only money the reason? Or spirit? Or charisma?

My female cousins and a few of my female friends legitimately want nice guys with money or no money. They've even married nice guys with no money. One friend of mine says she'd rather have a nice man than a rich man.

100% yes.
A man broke from paying child support has integrity and honour.
I'd take 100 of those guys before a well-off dead-beat, hands down.

I don't believe all the guys who claim they're broke since the divorce. "She took everything, ran up the credit cards and left me with all the bills."

All of them? Yeah right. I didn't do that to MY ex.

They're probably broke because of their OWN spending habits and bad credit.

Yeah your right! it was the judge and her attorney that left me with all the bills


Are you serous? Do you really think that because you didn't that others don't?

We're not in a resection ether are we?


The divorced women I personally know didn't do that to their exes either.

It's just a convenient excuse for men to blame all their money woes on the ex figuring we wouldn't know any different.

Mayberry U.S.A. must be the place to live then now isn't it!

Hi everyone . . . first-time participator here . . . I only date guys who have very little money (no thanks to doctors, lawyers, etc ad nauseam lol). Men who make lots of $ can't be trusted . . . your "friend" sounds like a nice guy; therefore, if he's cute to boot he should have no trouble wowing a nice lady lol . . . best of luck to you.

I agree with you. Most guys are broke due to their bad spending habits that cause their bad credits. They may have good hearts with bad spending habits forever...
