    I don’t agree, I believe you should absolutely go for it if he’s actively working towards his goals and aspirations (provided that they’re sensible and attainable goals). In fact, the more potential the better! Is he putting the work and effort in everyday? If so, why not? Men who talk the talk are just that - talkers. They may have all the potential but be lazy. Be smart ladies!

    Men never marry or data potential, only women have been conditioned to do so. A man will never say "Oh look! There's a woman that's not in shape and is not my type physically but I'm gonna get with her because she has potential to get fit and become attractive to me, and I'm gonna make sure I pay for her gym membership, her diet, and doctors appointment to hold her down", that has never happened because men aren't shamed for sticking to their standards and dating who they truly want. Atop being desperate and raise your standards, the right man will not have to make you compromise and in turn, decrease your quality of life. We need to do better ladies.

    From experience, I will say No! Date what you see , not what you hope to see. Also from the guy's character and habits, you can tell if this is a serious guy with a vison. Even at that, does he have a clear plan on how he is going to achieve his goals? The times when I've actually dated 'just potential ' I ended up wasting my time and I realized it's ok to actually just keep to my standards. Girls don't let any guy make you feel guilty for having your standards. Men don't date potential, so why should you? Most times when girls date 'potential ' it's all a 'fantasy'. If that guy is not ready or where he needs to be, don't rush into anything, let him go and sort himself out, you as the girl, also use that time to focus on yourself. There is no point of joining with someone who isn't even complete. Let the two of you be whole first, before coming together. I hope this comment helps someone.

My advice is if you ever meet a guy who is not sure what he wants, don’t entertain it and let him be someone else’s problem.

    *Before watching* It depends if by potential you mean the woman's projection of a man or the PROMISE of a man? Does he have specific, measurable, action steps that are realistic and have timelines? Or is it just something he could do but has not done much to contribute towards his future goals? If the answer is not sure or no, then no. If the answer is yes, this man has promise which goes beyond potential! That is the ideal situation. My dad was from the projects and broke in grad school living with his parents in his mid 20s but he saved every dime to be able to provide for my mother when they got married. My mother also dated a rich guy who was given everything from his family. She chose my dad. He secured a decent paying job and was a home owner twice by the age of 30. A six figure earner and retired by 40. Promise. Potential is a man who can possibly do more with his life but it's not clear HOW that will happen or the steps he is taking to align to his goals/dreams/aspirations/desired outcome. My dad had a plan! Period.

    Exactly. The specifics are important. Means does the person know where he is going , why is he going there , how is he going to reach there , what timelines ?? If he has these answers clearly then , we know the person is genuine. If he is giving vague answers, no specifics , it means he himself doesn't know. So here we get out answer. The answer is actually always in front of us , but people are not clearly listening and asking detailed questions .

    You’re preaching Breeny!! You definitely have to take people at face value. Also sometimes what’s mad is that because men don’t settle for potential, they’ll think you’re a match for them because all their needs are being met. Meanwhile, your needs aren’t being met but you’ll be gassed because he’s so into you and you’ll be waiting for him to change or be better. Just like you said don’t feel bad for wanting what you want and ladies put yourself first! Your needs are just as important as his. You’re meant to serve and help one another!

    My good friend who is Muslim married a Christian woman, I had to literally talk him out of a separation over a Christmas tree/presents. His wife had a 5 year old before the marriage and was raised with Christmas/Jesus/Santa, he adopted this child and had a daughter with his wife. Him being Muslim he refused to celebrate Christmas and cussed out the grandparents for bringing presents. The whole thing was a mess. Ironically he bragged at the beginning of the marriage that she wasn't a 'super' Christian so he wasn't worried about the religious differences. Flash forward she almost cheated on him over the holiday isolation he put her and her kid through...a mess. So I agree, pay attention to red flags 🚩and don't compromise.

    Breeny how did you know what's bothering me 😅 I've been thinking of this for months now. I like this guy but I'm finding it bothers me so much that he seems not to have any passion or ambition or dreams for himself. I'm not sure how he can see me in his future when he doesn't seem to have any clear plans right now. But I try to brush it off because he has a good heart, very honest, he accepts me, he's cute, he's sure he wants me... I know he is serious about having plans for me. But the future is very unclear. And you're right I'm selfish for hoping to see him change and finally have some ambition or dream. I don't want to hurt him though. 😞

He wasn’t used to the attention so he started being a mess on me and started treating me like he’s the one doing me a favour after everything I gave him. Long story short ended it with him and learnt to pour that same love and energy that I was giving to him, into myself instead

I moved on and told him that times have changed and I am no longer available. I aint no ones option. Will not do that again.
