MRbrownJAY: yet, broke babes like the OP want to date......what an irony!!!!!

HisRib: I didn't say the man has to be rich! I simply said "he can't be broke."

In the words of Kanye West "I ain't saying she a gold digger, but she ain't messing with no broke n*gga"

Exponental: @op, "broke" is a short period of tym wen u experience financial constraint. Wen d tym becomes longer than normal or too long, u are either poor (or bankrupt).

@topic...Every man has a right to date according to his ability.

ejifranks: of course!!!What a lady should be looking out for in a guy is if he has plans to make something good work out of his life financially and otherwise in the future or if he is just a lazy man who doesn't wanna work or even worse a dreamer. Dwelling on the present broke status of a guy who has passions and zeal to achieve great things and is working assiduously towards his dreams and goals is really not wise... So do the check and see where he fits...(sad thing is that most women look at the present though)

HisRib:

What makes you think I am broke? You are too funny. I am very far from broke, boo.

switdick: I think y'all getting the OP wrong, From what I understand it as,is before a guy engages himself in a relay or dates,he should at least have something doing as a man to spice it all up....

You can't just wake up with no direction in life as regarding your financial status and begin to think of dates...however,I do not dispute the notion of having something doing as the sole criterion for dates!!

Kosigift: Are u kidding mi?? Having something doing should be d sole criterion for dates?? I want to bliev its an error buh looking at ur handle, I really don't kno wot to blieve anymore. Its ur opinion anyways...

And I don't wanna believe your reason for quoting me is solely to be turned on ??

My post is clear,,,it means I actually am against "Getting Something to do" as a whole criterion for dates,when other criteria such as Love,compatibility,etc Are factors too !

Please understand before you quote me.

Kosigift: Oh well, y don't u read thru ur post again sir.. When u say u don't dispute wit sumfin it means u don't disagree wit dat tin, in odawords u r in agreement!
Anyways, gues it was an error. Sori 4 quoting u if dat got to u. Pls let's not derail...

I ain't mad..

I just wanted to correct the whole idea I think peeps here digested,being that, Getting something to do" as a major factor to engage themselves in a date...because,I think that's what they understood the poster was tryna pass across, which isn't ! You know what..Whatever girl ..LoL"

I'm indifferent anyways..

sauer:
I can't believe this! What stops the woman from fending for herself? Is she not human? Must she depend on someone? I mean, is it just because she gives sex in return? Just think about it for a minute, is the man paying the woman for the sex he gets from her?

HisRib: Do you guys think it's okay for a guy who has NO money to have a girldriend?

Let's be realistic for one second.

I don't think I could date someone who can't buy me beautiful roses here and there, take me to a nic restaurant during the weekend or spoil me with little gifts here and there.

I am not saying he has to be rich but he can't be broke. A man's gotta hold his own.

HisRib: Men. do not be deceived or fooled. NO woman is yruly happy with a broke man. Deep down her heart she's not happy and probably wants to leave you. I don't care how Christian she claims to be. The reality is -- a man must be able to provide. If he can't, why is he a man?

He doesn't ahve to be rich or filthy rich. He just has to be able to please his woman in all manners.

That's my opinion.

Hunnydropps: [color=#000099][/color] The question I have is:
Why shouldn't they be allowed to? Are they not human? Don't we all desire to love and be loved? A man may be poor financially but rich in heart. So as he is not using a woman, leeching off her whats the problem? Woman need to look within, yes we like men who can provide pretty things, assistance if we need help with a bill or something. BUT we can give people a fair chance too. Imagine a man down on his luck but treats you wonderful, is kind, understanding, respectful. The right woman will naturally spark a desire to improve his station so that he can increase the ways he can show his care or her...ie hustling to improve financially. The love and commitment a man develops for a woman that was there with him while he was down should not be underestimated. He will grant you access to all the benefits he acquires as he improves on the come up and ultimately give you the world when he 'makes it'. This does not mean that you're supporting him like a child but we as women can give more understanding and opportunity for a man to improve his lot. Also, not all gifts are bought with $ and I've found that the best gifts are the free kind and freely given from the heart. If you keep your eyes open it can be seen whether a particular man has potential and maybe just needs a good, kind woman to believe in him. I'm not suggesting woman to waste time on lazy men....Lord knows we've come too far to put up with that nonsense as women but some men just need a chance. Judge each person and their circumstances individually and compare their situation and potential to yours and determine if you're able to deal with what you find. ~ Good day to you all

Creamish: Broke men are human and as human, they have as much rights are the rich. . . One man's meat is another man's poison. There will alwayz be a babe for dem. We all dont have equal money-making opportunities and one will not force a broke man into rituals just to satisfy a babe.

However, its not an excuse to lay on the roadside doing nuttn. . . He can always find sth doing to keep body n soul together as well as his pride.

Derz no rules to dating. It depends on what u want/ are okay with.

I NEVER said he has to be RICH. The word Rich never came out of my mouth. I said he has to HOLD his own! That's it.

Wow... Thank God there is someone with a good head here...

Nice one girl...

HisRib:

Child please, you are lying through your teeth. Girls like you are the first ones to marry broke men and then go and complain to anyone who has ears about how miserable your lives are.

Women have to stop lying to themselves.

Creamish:

U'l never rily know someone until u wear that person's shoes. Dont judge her. U dont know her. Not all women are materialistic.

HisRib:

Judge her? You are telling me not to judge her but the rest of you have judged me. I am not saying a man needs to be rich, he just has to be able to take care of his woman. Lots of you women try to play that "good girl" role acting like you don't care about money but once you are married you will start creating problems because your husband has no money to buy this or that for you.

In life you need to know what YOU want. Why settle for less because you are afraid of what others will say about you?

I would prefer if you said, I will date a man who doesn't have much money as long as he's willing to work hard to change his situation. I can respect a woman who says that. I can't respect a woman who comes on here giving a fake ass speech to gain fans on a message board.

The same girls who 10 years from now will be crying about how much they are suffering in their "marital home." I don't care what ANYONE says. I will do what is BEST for me.

Let's get REAL please.

Creamish:

Babe calm down . . .

Firstly, i never judged u.

Secondly, refer back to my post where i said he has to get something doing inorder to keep body and soul as well as pride together . .

Iv been married for some years now and Im content with mine. U asked our opinion. We all dont have to agree with urs. If he is broke and his girl likes him broke, FINE by THEM. Its not ur place to correct the girl. To each his own. U want roses, look for a man whoz willing to buy u roses. Therez nottin bad in dat either. . no b fight.
