    this question is more aimed at the ladies on here i suppose.
    if you were chatting to a nice guy and you were getting on well but then found out he was a student. would the student thing put you off.
    it kinda feels like it does sometimes, maybe it implies, broke, cant do much because being broke. this would generally not bother me but im almost 28 and the women i talk to etc are of a similar age but seem to be looking for someone who can wine and dine them to a point or at least be able to go out and do things together but it is pretty much impossible when being a broke student.

    would it put you off?

    I would be put off if I could see that you were embarrassed about being a student because it would mean that I would have to constantly prop you up if you were feeling down about being a student. That's too big of an 'ask' at a first meeting!

    It might put some women (gold diggers) off but not genuine women. My current BF wasn't working when we first met and that didn't put me off him.

    To be honest, if they are put off by it then they're not the kind of women you should be with imo.

    My ex went back to college shortly after I met him, when he was 26. It never put me off, possibly because I'm a student too. It did get very frustrating not being able to do anything after a while, but we managed. To be honest though, I found it especially tough because whatever money he had, he spent on his hobbies or with his friends, never spending it on or with me. If you'd be similar then yeah, that might be a turn off eventually.
