Dating or Relationships and Credit Scores (responsible, problems, issues, promiscuous)

[RCLL]

I came across an interesting article the other day which stated that Credit Scores/FICO are becoming more prevalent these days in choosing a mate or dating.

I can understand the logic, choosing a financially responsible mate can certainly help in avoiding "money issues" which can lead to a troubled relationship.

Anybody have any thoughts on this? Certainly there are more factors but this one seems like a good one to consider.

This was mentioned here last week. I figured that some writer had a deadline and had to come up with an article quick because this is the biggest piece of rubbish I've ever seen!
Why not just make people wear the dumb score on their forehead?
Why not start scoring people for other things in their lives that might be connected to a risk? Like eating habits or how promiscuous they are?

My bad, didnt do a search. LOL obviously you have strong thoughts about it. Like I said there are other factors to consider, but I do feel like that is something to consider since alot of relationship problems have to do with money.

Who even pays attention to their credit score? I've never known what mine was.
