Asking Women If They Would Ever Date A Man In Recovery

I decided to go to the mall and ask women if they would ever date a man in recovery from drug addiction.

Transcript

00:00So what I can tell you from experience is oftentimes when you admit to the fact that you

00:04were a raging drug addict, it could be a huge turnoff for women. I won't dispute that. I

00:08personally would never want to date myself in active addiction. All that being said,

00:12I decided to head on down to the mall and ask women in person how they felt about it.

00:17Would you ever date a drug addict in recovery?

00:20Yes.

00:21Yes. Right out the gate. I love it. The question is, would you ever date

00:25a recovering drug addict?

00:27I have.

00:28You have?

00:29Yes, I have. I think dating someone who's recovering from something like that,

00:32you have to understand where they were and you have to know that recovery is probably

00:36always going to be a part of their life. That's something that you have to give up.

00:40When you date someone like that, you have to know that that comes with dating them. So yes, I would,

00:44but that's a really hard thing to do. Just like, it's kind of like dating someone who's

00:48lost a loved one or dating someone with other addictions. It's always going to be a part of

00:52them. Super well-spoken. I couldn't have said it better myself. Would you ever date a man

00:57who is a recovering drug addict?

01:01I mean, I think there's a thing as second chances. So as long as they don't do the same

01:06thing again, I'm willing to give them a second chance.

01:08Absolutely. Second chances. That's awesome. I think that's so cool.

01:12I don't think I could. It's just too much of a chance of relapse.

01:16The possibility of relapse is always there. And that's one of the biggest deterrents for me

01:21when dating a female addict or alcoholic. I'm always worried about them relapsing or one of

01:27us relapsing or relapsing together because that just turns into a catastrophic nightmare.

01:32So with that being said, all the guys I tried to ask in this video look like they wanted to

01:37punch me in the face. And I totally understand. I'm in the mall. I got a tripod set up. My camera

01:42looks like it's filming everybody and I got a pretty punchable face. So I don't blame them.

01:46But the question is that I have for you guys is would you date someone who is a recovering drug

01:51addict? If you have, what has been your experience? I'd like to hear what y'all have to say about it.
