I'm okay with it, but my debt consists of a student loan and if my gas card limit is any indication, my credit is good enough. I worked about 6.5 months this year and my bills are paid. I'm good.
If you do some research of the people in the article, the gal with the $150k of debt from studying mass communications at a private school across the country is unmarried, but has a "bun in the oven".
Congrats to that guy. He's going to be paying on that student loan debt while babymamma is laid up taking care of your kid.
Hope he knew what he got himself into. (Doubt it.)
I would tend to look at a woman asking my credit score on a first date the same way a woman would look at a guy that would ask 'Do you swallow?' on a first date.
This is particularly relevant when people date later in life, are divorced, etc. I've known cases where people applied for credit cards on the side, hid outstanding debt. Finances are a big part of life and financial deception is as bad as any other.

Dating 2013: No longer "What's your sign?" - now "What's your credit score?"
It seems like romance it’s just gotten more practical. It might help you determine whether your SO does not think it is important to pay bills on time or routinely overspends his/her income on significant hobbies or travel or holiday gifts so that you can avoid grinding conflict over money down the road.
Good looks and charm will only get you so far in today’s dating world. A great credit score is quickly becoming the new #1 attraction for finding happy love.
There's a reason that employers check credit ratings of potential employees. Lousy credit can be a sign of poor decision making and weak character. It may not reflect your character but it does show a pattern in your lifestyle. Of course there could be other reasons for a bad credit score like job loss, illness or just a dispute over a bill, but good financial management is a good test of personal responsibility.
My credit isn't as good as it should be. But what single male beyond 22, who has a decent job really going to be doing? I mean do you expect him to buy a huge house that for himself? Most guys at a certain age are just trying to have a good time, experience life, and meet people. you can waste a lot of money doing this though. Which, despite being single, I've decided to invest more.
Still I REALLY don't expect anyone under 30 who has a decent job to have great credit. They either have student loans, or some other type of debt. And single life does have cost, as fun cost money. At least the type of fun I've been having in my bachelor life. I guess if a guy has lived in the same neighborhood his entire life, only leaving for college, and has the same friends his entire life, and has never travelled out of the state (basically super boring), then I can expect such a guy to be a bachelor with a high credit score. In order to have that type of credit score while single, you can't be doing much of anything.
Anyway, I know no one is going to fall in love with my credit score. I'm relatively debt free, but I still have a lot to work on. If a chick hates that, what can I really do? Back to the drawing board.

Anyone who ask this question on a date needs to be in a mental institution. And furthermore I don't even know my credit score because I never wanted to pay the $8.00 to see it LOL
I think everyone's credit score probably dropped a little after 2008-2009. There are still people out there who haven't bounced back from that financially. Heck, even I got an eviction from my apartment in 2008. I don't feel bad about a bad credit score. There is only so much in life you can plan for. If I were on a date, I'd be more concerned with someone's ability to bounce back and recover. Surely no one is dumb enough to believe that bad situations can't happen to them.
