That's tough. Do you absolutely need to be on it?
If yes then you need to wait til someone comes along with some compassion and doesn't care about money.
What is the reason for the disability, is that the turn off maybe. Either way it is hard for women because if they know you are never going to be working and so are on a fixed income they may not see such a bright prosperous future for her and the family you may want to have. It may seem shallow but try to put yourself in the woman's position. Of course she can bethe breadwinner and if you are well enough you can watch the kids and collect SSI and that's actually a great situation but then again I don't know what your disability is and what your capabilities are. Also, then you need to have pretty high standards in a woman, she has to have a well paying job and a good career, that might be hard to find depending of course on what you have to offer as far as personality, etc.

Well I would not make it a point of conversation on the first few dates. You can talk about hobbies, interests etc. But yes you need to be truthful. There are alot of reasons that people are on SSI, and some of them are bad reasons, some are good. I would want to know WHY you are on it? and what do you do with your time? did you try learning a different skill? (see hard questions when we don't know the reason) The money isn't the issue to me, I would want to know why you can't work. Also is it a health problem that I am going to have to help you with? take care of you?...too many factors that scare people away.

NO you should not lie!
If you are on SSI because of a disability and you truly can not work but are active and take care of yourself then it should not matter. BUT people are people and they will judge you so you will have to grow a thicker skin when it comes to finding 'the one'.
I personally do not care what a man does as long as he is not just sorry for the expression but 'sponging off the system' and not contributing at all to society. Just because you can not work does not mean you can not volunteer and or start your own organization to help others.
Try meeting people in volunteer groups as they will be less likely to judge you than girls at the bar.
Good luck!

I'm also 37 yrs of age. Never lie about it!! There R women out
there that don't care about $$$$. I was 1 of them. I didn't care
about looks or $$$$. U need 2 go for someone who shares U're
similar interests & 2 me, it was always about the "vibe" that I got
w/that person. I would have been w/a dishwasher if he treated me good & made me laugh, understood & listened 2 my pains.
& no, I wasn't desparate! I am actually a very attractive woman
w/whom alot of men wanted 2 be with. (from every walk of life)
Never feel insignifigant about who U R! Never short-change U!
The right woman WILL come along, trust me. I was single 4 al-
most 5 yrs, b-4 I met the one. I was pickey, & would never settle.
Don't U either. This is just a "weeding-out" process-Dating is.

Good Luck 2 U, it will happen, maybe not as fast as U want 2
but , it WILL happen.

No you shouldn't lie about what you do. What good would it do? You could tell her you are wealthy and then after you go out a few times and you fall for her she will find out the truth, get really pissed off cause you lied and then dump you anyway. The only thing to do is to be honest, if it is the right women she wont care about how much money you have ( and if she does, why would you want her anyway?). I have a friend who is disabled. He kept asking me why he couldn't find a girlfriend, I kept telling him the same thing, He did wait and last weekend he got married. It will happen to you too but only if you are honest and open. Good luck

Find another woman on SSI? No woman wants a man that cannot provide for her. Are you taking advantage of ssi? Can you really have a job? If so - go get one and I guarantee you'll have better chances with the ladies.

Some guys on ssi have more mental issues. Yeah you are not one of them.. so lie for a while. See if that helps. Say you are self employed on line and paying your bills on time for years. No one can think you are a fake or lazy.

No don't lie! Honesty is always best! There are women out there that don't care about money, they are just hard to find! I guess that's why my husband married me! I won't even take money from him! I am just not like that. I like to earn my own! Just find a woman that is independent and self reliant and you should be okay! Don't give up looking!

I could care less.....I work and I certainly don't need a man to take care of me--if they run off as soon as they find out you are on SSI then they are shallow b*tches to begin with. You'll find someone out there who won't care about that.

Money isn't the issue as much as work ethics. My husbands a teacher, and yes, I knew that's what he was when we got married. He makes enough for us to get by and keep our kid fed and clothed. He works hard. If he didn't have a job or was on disability, no, I wouldn't have married him. I want a man who can be a man.
