Would you date someone who is homeless ( Archived) (43)

Tuffy, thats cause nubiles glow...And if you (sorry this sounds gay<--I aint<--nothing against gays...I just prefer nubiles) are honest tuffy, you along with the other good ladies here like the sweaty,naturally musky whiff of blokes....

When I like a man, I like his smell along with other matters that come with him. No news here.

In all honesty...no I wouldnt...I would buy his Big Issue but I wouldnt date him.

The number of homeless people has declined considerably

In 2006 some 7,400 households in Finland were listed as being homeless, including about 7,000 single people, and some 350 families. Homelessness is most concentrated in growing urban centres, and particularly in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area (Helsinki, Espoo and Vantaa), where more than half of all the homeless people in Finland live.

The number of homeless people in Finland has declined considerably in recent years. As recently as the end of the year 2000 there were some 10,000 homeless single people across Finland, as well as 800 homeless families. The problem of homelessness has particularly been alleviated in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area.

Positive developments have included the improved availability of rented apartments and progress with the implementation of action plans within the Government Programme.

No.

"Sleeping over" would be a bit tight with two in the one doorway.

Yes.

Homeless = no home.
He could be living in a boat or something like that.

Wouldn't that make the boat his/her 'home'...?

Yes. A person living in a boat would be: Houseless but not homeless.

The OP asked about 'homeless' not 'houseless'

A person living in an apartment is also 'houseless'

So you meet a guy and fate, destiny dealt him a bad hand at that part in his life and he was doing his best to turn things around..and you knew he was good man..but no roof over his head or key in pocket..You'd say 'Nope'..Because of material things...?

Well first of all I dont think our paths would ever cross...not sure how they could apart from me giving him a few quid for a big issue.....its nothing to do with materialistic views...its to do with finding an equal partner in life....its also to do with enjoying my life as it is....I wouldnt want to take on anyone elses major issues/troubles/worries at this stage of my life....maybe I'm guilty of being lazy and a wee bit selfish but I'm not a materialistic person...in fact materialistic people in real life turn me off bigtime.

I prefer selfish people. Applying that to a relationship (of any kind) it would mean that they are with me because they want it themselves, not of any other reason.

That's ME

We live in a material world, and material things matter. To what degree – that differs from person to person.

Actually I have yet to meet someone who always was dealt only good hand in his or her life. Sure there are people born with a silver spoon in their mouth, but the most of us has to make some efforts every single day just to remain on the even keel. And for some every step forward costs blood.

I wouldn’t say “Nope” just because a “good man” doesn’t have roof above his head. But as you said yourself – there are underlying matters for his homelessness. In fact, his homelessness is just the top of the iceberg, while those underlying matters, (alcoholism? drug addiction? gambling?) that led him to homelessness, and that I would say “Nope” to.

That's ME

I so agree with you there...we all have to get by and its nice to be comfortable....its wonderful to have a nice home, a job, a car to get us to the job, some nice things to wear, money to go out on a saturday night and a wee holiday now and again...thats all Ive ever strived for....maybe I lack ambition but I see other things in life as my main priority..I work hard but I put in less hours at work each week than I am offered which results in less wages at the end of the month...I do this so I can spend quality time with my family etc which I enjoy and which helps me keep good mental and physical health..long may that continue.....but these are my priorities.... not being able to holiday in the Seychelles blah blah...that doesnt interest me at all..Im as happy in Dublin or Paris.......and where i feel really uncomfortable is when I meet someone who has nothing but designer wear on and is keen on flashing a fat wallet in front of me....I actually dated a man like that once, in Dublin lol, who wore his jumper inside out to flash his labels He drove me around showing me his old family home which is now the Swedish/Danish/Dutch Embassy or some such thing...and he was name dropping Irish Celebs at every turn....Date no 2? I dont think so cos he actually just bored me!! His life was all about money and material goods......I could never cope with that....and to be fair to him he was probably horrified that I was wearing shoes from M&Co

I would assume a homeless person was one with NO roof over their head.
Not shacking up in a hotel for a month.

Gussi, if you bothered to read any of my posts I actually admitted it here months ago...Could have sorted it out yonks ago by one phone call to home but refused the offer...

And as for you comment on a susposed friend..you should be ashamed of of yourself..
