I'm never negative towards
anyone trying to better themselves... but the initial question didn't indicate that the guy was doing that. I'm not putting down or criticizing anyone in that situation, either... but that doesn't mean I have to date them. I'm a very supportive partner... but I'm not going to coddle and enable anyone. I'm a full-time college student, myself... a parent, no less... but I still work, have a car, and manage to maintain my own place... I don't think its unreasonable to prefer someone capable of the same.
But the question was if I'd be turned off from committing to a man who didn't have a lot to offer... some examples cited were: no job, no car, living at home (by the way, I don't consider those things a man 'has to offer')... and my answer remains... I wouldn't be with a grown, able-bodied man under those circumstances, and I make no apologies for it. That's one of the reasons I date w/in the age range that I do.
