    it is. I don't need someone to make TONS of money, or even more than I make - I usually date older but I make great money for my age. I would like someone with a job who pays all their own bills though. that's a non negotiable.
    Yeah, that's what I've been shooting for in the last couple of years - it's like, "Just have a job, any job, or at least be collecting unemployment." Because like the other chick who posted, I ended up supporting my last ex for over a year. Mofo just flat-out refused to get a job. He would lie and say that he'd been putting in job applications, but I would find out it was total horsecrap and he'd been playing video games all day, LMFAO. I don't think he was purposely using me, but it was SO frustrating. I finally kicked him out. I couldn't do it anymore. To have to pull your own weight and a grown-*kitten* 32-year-old man's dead weight as well is a horrible feeling.

    I think financial responsibility is important.

    So much this. I don't care HOW much you make, just WHAT you do with it.

    Yup. A little self discipline goes a long way. I am glad I learned that when I did.

    I dated a girl that I ended up supporting financially. Was not a good feeling.

    I was worth it and you know it.

    Self discipline? Sounds kinky. :bigsmile:

    Seriously though, I agree. I'm glad I'm figuring out this financial stuff now instead of ten years from now.

    unemployment is ok as long as it's temporary. I don't want to get flack for this, but in my area it is not hard to get a job. If a guy has been on unemployment for a while and claims that he's trying his hardest to get work I think it's a big red flag.

    the last guy I dated lied and told me he owned his own business. I was suspecting he wasn't actually working and it was confirmed when I asked him how he filed his taxes (schedule c or s corp, the former being the correct answer) and he just looked at me like I really was a crazy b. I only asked about the taxes after he asked to borrow $20.

    The "headaches" only started when you stopped buying me shoes.

    Wow, this thread took a very surprising turn.

    Thank you for the entertainment, denizens of MFP.

    Also, I have a steady job, crazy Bs, and I make good money. I have a family, so I mean that somewhat complicates things, but, you know, inquire within or whatever.

    Plot twists all over the place in here...

    And not even good plot twists! Just, like, "and then the ceiling caved in and everyone died; surprise ending! the end." plot twists.

    OMG, were you dating my dad?!?! LOLOL

    No, seriously, he lives off disability checks, but he tells the women he dates that he owns a business so he'll come off as respectable... then he wonders why he can't make a relationship last more than a few months, lol. They always find out the truth eventually.

    HAHAHA. I don't think so unless your dad is 28! I love how some guys think women aren't intuitive at all..... we can generally smell bs even if we are in denial about it at first.

    It's true. Also avoid onions and garlic.

    I used to think it was bunk until I did a highly scientific experiment and it proved to be true
  • There are different levels of crazy. There's eccentric crazy, which is kind of annoying and then there's downright effed up batsh*t red flag crazy

    I can pick the red flag b*tches out on MFP by the number of selfies with "the look".
