pedro27: i bet most would not even date a man without money/job
I think it's more about being responsible and able to support himself financially. I don't think many women would go into a relationship knowing that she would have to support her partner.

KNenagh: There are other things I would prefer talking about than his money, his job, his car and all his gadgets.
Someone mature with a bit of brain will find other topics to talk about and other ways to attract someone than purely his financial means.
I had it as well that guys tried to find out about my financial means which didn't get them any bonus points either.
There are still a lot of men who think women are after their money, and they will complain about it to no end and in the same breath, boast about the house, cottage, car, boat, trips and his rising stocks. Can't win for losing eh?

Everyone has ups and downs in life and I have no problem with supporting a partner through the downs, nor would I exclude a potential partner is if he is going through one of these rough times. But I certainly would not be interested in a man who lacks the ambition, pride and strength of character to better his situation but rather depends on a partner or the state to provide him with a living.

Yeah, and then they go for arm candy who takes them to the cleaner.

That's my point...ambition, pride and strength of character. There were a few times in my marriage where my husband was laid off in his job and it didn't bother me.

Yip, supported a partner before, too. It's part of being in a relationship, helping each other when needed.

Support is fine if it's temporary but I don't think people will want to support someone who shows no interest in ever contributing. Doesn't have to be big bucks but enough to at least sustain a sensible lifestyle for the couple.

Do men care whether their's partner financial stable or not??
guysimple: May be but some not all. If partner is not financial stable does it make them Maid?
Not everyone is the same. Just look for someone you have compatibility with.
No, and if you read my post, that's not what I said. Guys who want a partner who is compatible often want someone with a similar lifestyle - as I would ideally as well - but some deliberately go for partners who isn't their "equal" (that can be financially but not only) to be able to dictate.

truheart1941: ...sorry to burst your bubble KN......I see it ,as a couple, who regards their partner ..as a partner....to share what they have together.........
That's the way I see it as well Tru. I have been with someone who went back to college and didn't have a lot of money and there was a time when I couldn't work for a while due to an operation and I actually met someone during that time and it didn't bother him (he tried to dictate to me at some stage though because he earned more money than me when I was working). I will always support someone to my best ability I'm with and share my life with him.
