It'd have depended on the guy and why he was only making minimum wage, probably not, as my son is finding out with his first job, it doesn't go very far. He's not bringing home take out anymore when I'd cooked supper, realizing damn I had to work over an hour for that crappy fast food meal.
While how much he makes isn't really an issue with me, I've supported me and mine for a long time now just fine, so I can cover that, his income would mostly be for fun-entertainment, groceries (as it is now) but he will work and contribute.
honest answer.

Times are tough out there, some are glad to even have a job. At least he's not afraid of work!
However, at my age, I would be looking at other facets of this - is he unskilled, uneducated, a coaster with no ambition? Maybe he's just doing it for a bit of extra or out of boredom or until something more in line comes up to pay the bills. It would be more about factors of what makes him him than his paycheck.

I would imagine it would depend on your intent ....
Not all humans date with the intent to find a mate.....
For those whose intent is to find a mate ? The income may change the answer....
Also luv the word REAL in the op...indicating that any woman who says she wld date a min wage earner isn't being REAL....

Not really. When I earned minimum wage other men who earned minimum wage wanted nothing to do with me. The high rollers did.
Now that I make an impressive sum the high rollers are STILL happy to date me.
However it depends on his potential. Everyone has to crawl before they can walk so if he has a Bachelor's/Associates and is working to get by and do better things then: yes.
If his lifetime goal is to be the Manager of Chicken Strip then: no.
Now if I accidentally fall in love with someone like this then I'd have to just stfu and suck it up and deal with it.

They will as long as you are a pre- med.
You always need to be striving for something better that makes more money. Most women will not want to tell their girlfriends and family their guy only makes minimum wage and that he isn't in school for anything and he will only make minimum wage for the rest of his life.

OP - The obvious question is why does the girl need to known the man's wages?
Why did the man tell the girl what he earns? None of her business.
Well, chances are one of the first questions she asked is what do you do so when he said he worked at Burger King, she knew right away what his income is.

Well, I'm retired and would probably be dating someone who is also retired. If he wants to earn a little extra by working for minimum wage, that's fine with me.
And I certainly would prefer to date a man who earns minimum wage than a man who earns nothing. I've had many jobs where I didn't earn much more than that.
I may be poor but there's nothing wrong with my caliber, Barry.

all women arent like that. if you care about someone you should be more caring about him then what he makes as long as he isnt a lazy bum.
Therein lies your problem. You can't get to know someone if you don't spend time with them or go out with them. Having a high paying job gets your foot in the door. If you are only working a minimum wage job, most women won't want anything to do with you. If they knew beforehand that you were in school or training to do something that makes a lot of money, they would give you a shot but it's not like that most of the time.
Again, a lot of women on DateHookup claim to be far different than the vast majority of women in the world that aren't on dating web sites. It's fine if you feel that way but most women do not.

That's because you are a guy. We are wired differently. Women need the security, the house, the nice cars and a high quality life. Minimum wage does not provide those things. It makes complete sense. Wouldn't you want the woman you love to have the best life possible? The majority of men do want that and reality is that money is what can make that happen.

Two people making minimum wage can barely make it together, but it is damned hard for one person to do it. How do you do it?
Things are different these days. I remember back in 1982 I came back up to Oregon from California and got a min wage job. I got an enormous apartment, the entire upstairs of a huge Victorian house, for $150 a month. For furnishings I had a couch and two chairs. I had a little radio/turntable combo for a stereo.
At night when I got home from work I would have two sandwiches. The ingredients were white bread, Best Foods Sandwich Spread and a preformed, already cooked minced pork patty that came in packages of ten from the supermarket meat dept.
After eating, I would do my nightly ritual of drinking two beers and smoking a joint. I had a buddy who grew weed and he would give me huge bags of dried leaf for ten bucks. I had no tv, so for entertainment I read books, drew pictures or searched the radio for oddball radio stations that played interesting music. Back then we still had some unbiased news stations where you could hear something besides "Democrats suck" or "Republicans suck."
For more adult fun, I could usually lure one or the other of the girls I worked with home with me a couple of nights per week. At that time I really could not afford actual dating.
If I had to live on Oregon minimum wage today, I would fall flat. It would not cover the minimum necessities for life. When you minimum wagers go to vote, remember all your congressmen who voted themselves raises while refusing to raise the federal minimum wage for everyone else.

Out of all of the posts, one very bright 21 years young lady gave the very best answer.
She said, and I quote, "As long as I don't have to support him".
Single people who are supporting themselves and putting a roof over there own head have adapted a lifestyle that centers around their income and their needs. No one will ever want to get involved with someone who is going to drag down their own lifestyle. That is a sacrifice that no one wants to make.
In fact, when relationships succeed, and start to live under a single household together, usually the lifestyles can be improved in many ways, as two can often share rent, meals, utilities, transportation as long as they have similar incomes. They tend not to eat out as much, and can find entertainment at home more than single people and all that can save money.
Often times, especially with younger people, minimum wages are very temporary. You can't go down, so the only place you can go is up!

if you have a high paying job i understand that you would hope to find someone that makes close to what you make so yall can build a life together in a way that you both want with what you both make.
but for money to be the main focus for a reason that someone gets close to someone is bull in my opinion. money will may get you more things life but it will not bring happiness or find you someone that really cares about you.
You make a lot of good points Annie! In theory, people do tend to judge others by how much money-making potential they have.
I do know a lot of hard-working people who have risen up the income ladder and are happier today as a result. They have more financial independence and that can relieve a lot of stress and pressure in today's world and improve their own lifestyle. We only live once so be all you can be in this old world.
So, meeting others that have the same ambition and financial goals is always a good thing. It saves more marriages than anything I can think of short of fidelity.

YOU AREN'T MOST WOMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not sure how I can put it any clearer. MOST women want the best life possible and MONEY gives them that. MOST women want to live in a nice house and have nice, reliable cars and go on vacations and ENJOY LIFE. Again, obviously not ALL of them do but since MOST of them do, I am going with the math here. The OP is 48 and if he makes minimum wage, he is pretty much scum in a woman's eyes UNLESS he is studying to become a doctor or something that equals what a 48 year old should be making by this time in his life.
Even if he did find a woman to date, it wouldn't last long. A minimum wage job cannot sustain a relationship with MOST people. Again, you are in the minority and if you can't comprehend that MOST people want the best life possible and that MONEY can get that for them, there is no use trying to make you understand. A 48 year old to MOST people should be making WAY more than minimum wage if he expects to date.
Sure, minimum wage can pay the bills if he lives a super simple life but he will have little to no money left over for dating let alone maintaining a relationship.

100% FALSE!!!! It that was REALLY the case, you wouldn't have internet or a computer. You wouldn't pay rent and you wouldn't pay any bills period. Money DOES make you happy. If you had NO money at all, you would be happy? Prove it. Stop paying ALL YOUR BILLS. Give your money away. Be prepared to steal food or beg for it. Be prepared to live in a cardboard box on the street corner. After all, you state that it doesn't take money to make you happy so PROVE IT.

Once upon a time, I got a divorce, before the divorce papers were final, a business man took a very big interest in me. He owned a few mini malls along with a few houses. He didn't have any problem using that as leverage and constantly putting that in my face of what a wonderful life I would live if I were to ride off into the sunset with him. It was really just a turn off for me.
And THEN to make the pot even sweeter, he added that I would be riding into the sunset with him on the back of his Harley Davidson. Uh no, I'm not a motorcycle momma!
As to what my family and friends would think of whoever I date? Well, they aren't dating him, I am!

I have the same personality I had when making minimum wage in HS and my campus job. I worked offshore in the summers, I made what new college grads made.. Then I worked for them after graduating.
My last min wage job was when i was 20.
I've moved too far beyond that to be a good match with someone making minimum wage.

I had a gf that was a waitress at a Denny's.
their standard pay is considerably less than min wage
they have to hope and pray for tips in order to have even a reasonable pay for their shit.
she managed to meet life expenses, whilst raising 3 kids.
I eventually found out she had better frigging benefits than I did, working in a machine shop.
In that regards, biggest shocker to me was she had a 401k... as $1.sumn hr waitress
