Money and dating: Men dish on their biggest deal breakers-By Mandi Woodruff

Last week, in a decidedly unscientific fashion, Yahoo Finance asked a handful of women in their 20s and 30s to tell us their biggest dating deal breakers — specifically, the money habits that turned them off the most. This week, we gave the guys a chance to weigh in. Here's what they had to say:

Paying on the first date: Nearly all of the men agreed they would cover the bill on a first date, which is a good thing, considering almost all the women we interviewed said going Dutch on a first date is a no-no. The exception: One of our guys said he didn't pay on a blind date. "I didn't ask her out, so I didn't feel obligated to pay for the date," he said.

Asking about their finances too early in the relationship. Apparently bringing up questions like "What's your credit score?" or "How much do you earn?" aren't welcome early on in the dating process (no surprise there). The guys said finances shouldn't come up until at least the three-month mark. 

Too much credit card debt. Like the ladies, the men agreed that too much credit debt is a red flag, though they didn't specify exactly how much is considered too much. Only one guy said he could look past a potential mate's bad shopping habits, saying "Love trumps all...I'd have to really, really love her." Now there's a real romantic.

Their partner earning more. Who says men don't like earning less than their partner? Only one of the men we spoke with admitted he preferred earning more, while the others said it would be a major plus. "People who have issues with that might be a little insecure," one fella said
