[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you approach dating when you are broke? I'm 46 and been sick red for a year now. I haven't even tried dating. I'm just in a me-phase gym, healthy diet, plenty of sleep, mindfulness and just positive energy.

The thing is I am broke though. I am paying child support for 2 kids. They live in a great 3 bedroom apartment with mom (who is dating younger) in a great school district. I'm happy my kids are in a healthy and safe environment.

Me on the hand I am not in a very nice part of town, in a 1 bedroom apartment. I will make that sacrifice all over again for my kids no regrets. If I didn't make this sacrifice (I am sending 50% more than required by the decree) I would be living in a nicer place and probably happier.

Some days like today though I'm down, lonely and wish I had a companion. But then when I read how judgemental so many women on this forum are I wonder how the hell can I even date if I am this broke. I get it money is important,  many of the women here claim they have their own money and money doesn't matte, but then when at the same time say a guy making X is broke, a guy making X shouldn't be dating etc. of course it's not all women but it's a lot of them.

Do broke women like me, wonder about the same as well? Or is it just broke men that are out of luck.

Okay rant over lol. Thanks for reading.[/quote]

You don't, or you either date fat women, addicts, trash, single moms with kids from different dads, etc. Dating costs money and you don't have it.  You need to focus on improving yourself, improving your income and improving the life you are providing for your kids. Find a hobby you find fun an enjoyable and focus on that. Find healthy activities to do, invite some friends, take some risks and try to make new friends.

That is how you find happiness as a single 40s something man. You're a 46 year man whining about companionship. You sound like a child.

Sincerely,
43 year old man[/quote]
