As a man, this is a big issue for me...Not specifically for dating (I have an understanding GF), but I often lie to other people when they ask what I do for a living. Were it not for the fact I have a GF, I can see how dating might be a huge problem. Despite advances in society, men are still supposed to be the "bread winners." I get by fine on my disability, but would be nowhere near the earner a woman my age (50) would be fishing for. I still tend to look at the fact I'm on disability as a black mark against me.
