Personally I think if money is a factor it's not love, but I want a female opinion. Mind you a guy has to be able to support himself, but at what amount does he become dateable?

For me, if you both love eachother then money shouldn't be that important. As far as dates, I would hope he treats the first night and several times throughout. As long as he's not intentionally trying to be cheap, you know. If he doesn't have money but is still a good boyfriend and is going out of his way (emotionally, being there, etc.) for her then I really don't think money is a factor.

I think the willingness to work and support a family is important. Even though I have a job, I like the idea that my husband works hard and would be willing to let me stay home with the kids if I wanted to. However, the amount he makes is not important, as long as it's a reasonable amount to take care of the bills. In other words, I don't necessarily have to have a bunch of extra expensive stuff - just a guy with a sense of responsibility.

yeah a guy has to be able to support himself! and look after himself in my eyes. but a genuine woman should also be able to do the same and be willing to take a share in a relationship. and i do believe what you said if money is a factor then it probably isn't love because hey it's you she will be sleeping with not your wallet.
ok the dateable thing now listen if i was dating and you came up to me and you smelt and looked great you would get my attention. of you spoke to me respectively but not sleazy then you would be on the right track. then if i was the type of person to go home with you and you lived on your own i would be looking around to see how you lived, cause a chick doesn't want a guy that just wants a mummy to look after him and clean all of his ex girlfriend's old stuff out of the wardrobe.

To me personally there is no amount of wealth a man has to reach to be "dateable". It goes without saying that it would be very nice if he were wealthy; however to me it's not so much how much money he has but what he does with it.

sometimes money may become an issue when it comes to have a stable relationship. it's not b/c love wouldn't be there, but they have to support themselves financially.
there is a limit point when money are important - when they are necessary for ensuring your daily existence. what is more, it's greed.
i agree with somebody who'd say she wanted a financial security for having a relationship. it's because children might come up.
there is no amount which makes you 'datable', just because you have to look for the right person who would be happy just having you and not your possessions.
but, that doesn't mean you shouldn't work in order to offer her a decent life.

I don't think money is a key thing in a relationship either. I think that the only time money should come up is for certain holidays like Valentine's day and Christmas and also for just dates, other than that money should be the last thing on a couples mind when together.

money should not be a factor in dating a person that you care about however, you are right, the man must be able to support himself and not depend on the woman to do so and (to each their own opinion) but if you are going to get married, he should be able to support himself and his wife, so when she is off having their child for six weeks, etc, then they can still pay the bills, eat etc

best wishes to you

a man's beauty lies in his pocket... Just kidding, I am a hopeless romanti and believe that even if it is wealth people they are after but there should be some form of affection towrds the other person. I don't car about money cos money can't buy me love.

100,000.00 a year is a good start. even half of that if he has no children. you can't always be worried about $$ but you need to know he can handle it and that there is no dept. women need to know that a man can take care of them in bed, in protection, and in finances. many people feel that it shouldn't be a problem but almost 90% of married people fight over money. so take off the rose colored glasses a woman will test you and then if you fail she will make you miserable.

I fell in love with my husband for him, not is money. They main reason was because he didn't have any money. He works hard everyday and hardly ever has anything to show for it. We get our bills paid and if we are lucky we have a few dollars left over. My daughter, who is 17, thinks if you don't drive a nice car and can buy her things, you aren't worth the trouble to get to know, much less date..
