Subject: Can't find a date? It's probably your Credit Score

Seriously, people are looking at others Credit Score when it comes to looking for a relationship. There are even Dating Sites that match you with a partner based entirely on your Credit Score.

I think this is absolutely ridiculous. A relationship shouldn't stand on what kind of Credit you have. I'm only 18 and I only use Debit. Good luck checking my Credit Score to determine if I'm good enough for you to just get free shoes from me.

I don't need no stinking signature!

I wouldn't want to be with someone who cared about that anyway.

I wouldn't want to date a person who was a financial wreck. I wouldn't trust them just in case they were looking for something other than a relationship.

It's funny cause the article tells a story about how a woman met a man who thought she was perfect for him, but said that her Credit Score was the make it or break it.

I know, right?
Jay acts like she's better than everyone else simply because she's a chick.
I hope she chokes to death.

I owe the government a bunch of money for my half a university degree, but it's hardly a big deal - it comes out of my taxes, I don't even have to worry about paying it off myself. Other than that, I don't think I have any debt at all.

Though I think the "in a relationship" thing probably makes me even less of an appealing prospect than a bad credit rating would. :P

Funny story.

Having a good credit score can't hurt OP, I would suggest you get one just to be sure.

Welcome to the town of "Diligence." I'm Mayor Due.

It's pretty important. I can see why it would be valid criteria for people serious about meeting a serious partner. There's always casual relationship options anyways.

I work for the Department of Defense.

To be fair, having a good score is a really good thing. It makes financial decisions easier and if you look at long term down the road stuff, it certainly won't hurt.

That's not to say there is no Mr or Mrs's right's out there with less than great scores.

Pro tip for you floodians, and this is 100% NOT a joke.

Get a credit card as soon as you can, make small, monthly purchases with it and pay it off on time with a debit card / bank account.

It's just so much better to build early than late. You cannot make it through life without needing a credit score eventually, in some fashion. (yes, that's debatable, but having a good score just helps so much and is so easy to do if you just plan ahead).

You need to establish credit.
