But he has no money. Junker car. You know he can't take you out too much, cuz he is broke. Would you still give him a chance?

I could care less about the money, I just want to know if there are women who wouldn't give a guy a chance, cuz of his financial situation.

It depends on why he's broke. Is he broke because he's a student, or trying to make something of himself? Or is he broke because he can't hold down a job, has anger management problems and no drive whatsoever? Or hanging on to some pipe dream that he's going to make it big with his music some day? Is he at least self-sufficient and can he talk to you honestly about his money situation? Is he really in a position to pursue a relationship or will he end up using you or you resenting him for having to pay all the time?
The money doesn't matter (much). His character does. However, don't fall into the trap of falling for his "potential", take him as he is now assuming he will never change. Are you really cool with that?

That was me about 3 years ago. When i met my now wife, i made under 20k a year, had no car and little money. We started dating and i wanted to do better for her. We got married and now i have a great job, a few cars, we just bought our first home and tomorrow we are going on vacation across the country. By the way I'm only 23 years old. So that stuff can easily be changed with some motivation...

I'd say quit being so material and give him a chance. However, you need to be careful that he does have some drive in life to eventually better his position or you have the money that will support you both later. Money isn't everything but it will cause problems regardless when it comes to being able to survive decently..

If I said yes I would give him a chance then someone would say I was lying since most women wouldn't give a broke man a chance. IF I say no then I'm an a** for being so judgemental. So let me just say this....I plead the 5th.

Just moved to a new city about 7mo. ago.Just this summer I've met so many men w/o a car and/or w/o an apt. And some of which have aquired all of the above and then some since our intial meeting. I didnt have a car when I moved into town...it took about four months for me to get one and needless to say a lot of guys wouldnt date me because of that. Sometimes you might miss out if your not realistic. Support him only if he's making a decent attempt to get on his feet. if not then LOSE him....quickly.

Money is not everything maybe hes just having a rough time right now things may work out. Id give him a chance. Happiness is more that just money!

Only a shallow woman wouuld base a relationship on finances alone! Does he have 'drive'. If it is important for you to be treated as a spoiled princess then probably not a good choice. If you plan to settle down with him and he has earning potential then sure. So, I would say yes, give him a chance.

Heck yeah I would still give him a chance. His situation may only be temporary and if anything, you can probably pay for some dates. Also, you guys can stay at each other's homes and watch movies or play games. The possibilities are endless!

The person is so much more important than the money. I'm sure you wouldn't want people looking down on you if you were in the same situation! Now -- if he has no GOALS in life, then you may want to think again! ;)

it depends. if he has a job and takes care of his responsibilities, then maybe yes. why does he not have any money? if he is lazy and you don't think he'll ever try, then no. i am not materialistic. but also, some people just play off that they dont have any money and they're really millionaires. you never know unless you get to knoe the person. money does not make happiness.
