Okay, this one goes out to the ladies, attached, single - doesn't matter. What is your opinion of a guy who is otherwise attached - either dating, engaged or married with kids who whines. Example of whining could be "I was always a loser, then I got the girl, had 2 kids and I can't even afford anything", or "I can't this, I can't that"......etc.

Well, what say you?

Depends on the context. If he just whines constantly, he'd be a loser/big baby. If he whines in order to get into some woman's pants without ever leaving his relationship, then he's a pathetic manipulator.

If he whines because he is having trouble making the bills and keeping the kids in school clothes then he is a typical American working man right now. It all depends on what he is whining about. Me? I only whine if the fish aint biting!

Suggestion: Offer him the cheese plate sampler.

(Negativity - even when understandable - is rarely attractive.)

I agree to this. Who wants to be around someone that is negative about everything in life? Not me.

Exactly. The chronic whiner is selfish. They care more about their need to whine than about what it's like for the person who has to listen. Everyone has things to complain about. But complaining isn't going to solve anything. Yes, people need to vent every now and then. But there comes a point where you either change whatever it is you don't like or accept that you can't change it. I might come home and complain about my job. But if I do it everyday, then I expect my partner to say "if you don't like your job, find another one. Otherwise, learn to live with it."

Nobody likes whiners, whether they're male or female.

My vote was "other," since there wasn't a choice for "all of the above."

Agreed
Have a female single friend, extremely knit picky about everything that has to do w/ "the perfect man", time-clocks heavily ticking - she's in her 40's, needless to say, it sadly explains why she's still single, finds every excuse to "He's the wrong guy"...so whether female or male, nobody wants to be subjected to the constant whining....who wants to be brought down w/them? Not me....
