There should be a rule! ( Archived) (146)

That men or women who are on a date site and actually want to meet others for actual dating (I know, that doesn't include 99% of you on these forums ) should not be flat broke.

Lately, I've talked to a couple or 3 women who sounded like a lot of fun. Trouble is, they were broke, had little or no money, never mind a car.

What's up with that?

It takes some resources to date. Does that make sense?

All of them lived in another city from mine and were unable to travel because they didn't have a car. A car? They hardly had any money.

Sure, I could go see them. True. But not all the time. I think it should be 50-50 or at least shared somehow.

Come on people! You want to date? You want to play, you have to pay.

some ppl are that broke


not everyone has a car

if they dont have enough money, its a big deal to them

why dont you put on your profile , you dont date poor ppl

some of the best dates ive been on were a nice walk followed by fish n chips out of the paper

or a simple fishing trip




dare i say


CHEAP AS CHIPS !!!

Well said

It's ok when you live on an island the size of a postage stamp.

Come sir
Give someone a chance
Look at there circumstances
Life is not fair
People can't help somethings
Put on your profile they must be independent
Not every relationship is 50/50

Nope..... don't really understand this one! If you suspect a woman may be interested in you PURELY because you seem to have more money than her, I can understand. But I have no doubt that there are many that do not have pots of money and still don't want yours!

Surely, it would just involve a little more effort on your part? What's so wrong with that...??

I am with Dom on this also..... a date doesn't have mean massive financial outlay, someimes the simplest of things that cost very little are the most pleasurable...??

id expect nothing less than categorizing
and an attitude of superiority from this OP

its oooh so attractive

im poor

i spent 3 yrs crippled and am just recovering
it sucks in many ways
but i think it was important forme
in the big picture
to be taken down a few pegs
as i have come to learn about judging others
and how important mony and my title were to me

defining myself by those standards ended up being a house of cards
as money is an illusion and never a guarantee.

there are different reasons for financial hardships
i try to let this and other 'situations' in peoples lives-
what seem to some as shortcomings i spose-
e none of my business, especially in the early stages
of getting to know them

if i decide they are irresponsible financially
then i might not want to partner with them...

i know if a woman had posted this thread she would BLASTED!!!

mr double standard
but one thing ya got goin for ya
that i do like
you are consistent

for the second largest country in the world

i would imagine theres enough ppl to date in your own neighbourhood

where travel isnt an issue
