I'm a young guy in NYC and my friends always needle me about treating women "bad". From now on I'm just going to point them to this thread.

For a person with a heart you have to look to men. They don't care if you have a house, are homeless, have zero friends. THEY....DON'T...CARE...

So shoe is on the other foot, YOU lose YOUR job, should he dump YOU???
Haha!!!! Seriously? Men don't have a heart in these situations, they have a second head in their pants, their p3nis. And yes, a man would be willing to date a homeless woman... as long as she is attractive enough and is putting out. In the dating scene, men are purely driven by their sexual desires, women by their nesting instincts.

It's possible that he's employed by now so I'll post generally for any man in this situation. I think if he wants to date (and only date) then he should get a basic job while reaching his goals. He can then afford the basics: car expenses, dinner, movie, Dave & Buster's, and small birthday/christmas gifts if the occasion occurs while dating. As long as women know he's just dating then he owes no one more than dates. Any woman who wants more will have to understand his situation going in.

One Man at a time in this country are realizing this.

To be "HUMAN" is a thrown-out concept these days and is replaced with "COLD".
Couldn't have said it better myself.

He needs to get his foundation back in order before dating again. He is looking for a "feel-good" bandaid while he is experiencing so much trouble. Once he has something to actually offer a woman, then and only then should he be asking women to invest their time in him.

You are being judgmental without knowing the facts... and selectively reading!

Good and bad things happen to all people - both genders.

If the family welcomes it and he was previously an independent working man, how does it make him a loser? Because he accepted the help of his family? That does not make him a dependent.

If he was a person who lived off of others, then the OP (and others here) would have a valid argument.

But this man is being emasculated because the state of humanity is in a shambles - by some very shallow people.

I make no excuses for my situation. I press onward to enhance my life, adding to my knowledge base creating greater security for myself.

Obviously some have no understanding of virtue.
Hold on there. I didn't say I had a problem with it, I'm saying that society does. I know there are circumstances to consider but most people in society will just assume these guys are losers and see the circumstances as excuses.

He has something to offer the woman...his heart. What else do you want? I thought dating and love was about affairs of the heart...or maybe I am mistaken

What happens if the guy you are with lost everything due to some misfortune, you would just leave because now he is of no use anymore? A guy's worth is only tied to his money?
