Why do you say "yes" and on average, how much money are you loaning these men?

Sounds like it's time to start looking for guys vastly different than the ones you've been into up until now? There's obviously some trait you're attracted to that tends to go hand-in-hand with freeloader dudes, so maybe it's time to try a different "type." Ask yourself what attracted you to these guys-- they seemed "nice" (or told you they were "nice guys"...)? They seemed to "need" you or were the "underdog" or you wanted to "save" them? Do they have friends and if not, why? Etc. What are they like that might make them want your money, and can you avoid that trait in future?

(And I'd give the miss to dating coworkers, anyway. I can't see any way that wouldn't be awkward, no matter what happens.)

See how we're coming full circle in the world here? I see more and more men looking for someone to pay their way, I have to admit it happened to me recently. I almost gave him money I could afford to throw away...but then it was the principal, and nah.

Sounds like you're dating the wrong type of people. Refuse to give them money. Firmly tell them you don't have any and avoid them completely. Try not to flaunt too much before getting to know someone well enough to know where they came from.

Take her out on a nice date on her dime?

OP, maybe we can clear this up right away, by asking you where you work. What's the wage for you and your peers that you're dating? Why are you dating your co-workers, anyway?

What difference does this make? I will never get this kind of tangent, though to be fair, you are not the first to do this in this thread.

Dudes hitting their GF for money -- check that -- people hitting their SO for money. Not Good. The rest is BS.

A guy is a bum if he is trying to mooch money from his GF. Check that. A PERSON is a bum if they are trying to mooch money.
