Does a guy have to be financially stable if he wants to date casually?

[BronzeAgeJaeger217]

Yes.

 

Granted, the vast majority of the men I know are married or in a relationship.

 

The ones who are single though, there's only one out of all of them who never dates and is a virgin. And that's moreso due to his own choices. He does not pursue girls, ever. I've watched him turn 2 women down actually.

 

But my single mid 20's - early 30's male friends, acquaintances, and coworkers who want to date, do date.

 

They're normal everyday guys, working everyday jobs, and they're dating and having sex with normal everyday girls.

 

 

well I find that very inspiring, because I wouldn't want to have to put my dating life/sex life on hold due to not having my career and finances in order yet, not being financially stable yet, since I'm not getting any younger

You have been overthinking and I guess in a way trying to put a spanner into the works re your dating/sex life. Self sabotaging.

 

Women have sex all the time, they have sex with all kinds of guys.

If you only want casual, then any woman wanting the same is hardly going to be worried about your career or finances, are they?

 

Only women who want wined and dined with expensive gifts(ie a gold digger) or women who want a LTR with marriage and kids is going to care about what you bring to the party financially.

Like let's say the guy wants a girlfriend but at the same time he is not looking to get married or settle down yet, he still wants to play the field, does the guy still need to be financially stable, well-established, be living on his own if he just wants to date casually?

 

Also is there an age in which a guy is too old for casual dating, in which the older he gets, the only women he will be stuck with being able to date, are women that are looking to get married or settle down, are looking for a serious, committed, long-term relationship, etc.?

 

And should a guy pursue a certain age-range of women if he is not looking to get married or settle down, just wants something casual?

 

I think the only requirements are basic human decency, not deceiving your partners about the nature of your intentions, and having basic ability to provide at least one climax per session to your lover.

 

However this goes for any relationship, casual or less superficial.

 

As long as I know honestly what the guy is offering I can make an informed decision whether I will engage in anything with that man, and that's it.

 

Does he have financial stability or not is not key here...

Wow, seriously, so it did not matter literally how much money he makes?

You don't need to be financially stable to date casually so long as you’re creative in thinking of dates and have the self-confidence to be candid about your situation and intentions.

 

A lot of people are looking for a relationship and they’ll want someone who has traits for an LTR or marriage, such as financial stability. But if your goal is casual fun and you make that clear from the outset, some will take you up on it and people who expect or assume more will just pass.

I just hope the ship hasn't sailed already in which I can experience multiple monogamous relationships, as in want to experience having a couple of girlfriends before getting married, settling down
