Britney Spears Dating A Regular Joe Named Dave: Can She Make It Work With A Guy Outside Of The Entertainment Biz? [VIDEO]

Britney Spears is dating a "regular guy" named David from Atlanta who does field work and is not rich, according to TMZ.

David, who is 27, reportedly met Britney through friends.

Spears and David are believed to be dating after paparazzi photographed the couple golfing at the Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, California, where Britney lives and leaving a sushi restaurant on Valentine's Day after a $60 meal. David tipped $12, TMZ reports.

"I admire the fact that Britney is dating a regular guy," Patrick Carone, the executive editor of Maxim Magazine told Fox News. "While this is admirable, I just don't know if it's the kind of thing that works in the real world. Even with us regular people, a lot of times, unfortunately, if the woman, you know, makes more money than the guy, [it's problematic] just because there's all these deep set standards that the man is supposed to be the one who makes the money."

He added: "Can you imagine dating a woman and not just financially she's in charge but everywhere you go, everything you do, every little bit of attention is all focused on her? I mean that's got to be emasculating to some degree, even to the most, you know, confident self-assured guy."

Chloe Melas, senior reporter at HollywoodLife.com says this behavior is classic Britney Spears.

"She has dated everyone from agents like Jason Trawick, to Justin Timberlake who was a mega pop star, and she even dated a guy who was a paparazzi who followed her around for weeks and she fell in love with him," Melas said "She even married her best friend Jason Alexander for just two days. So for Britney it doesn't matter who it is. She falls in love and she falls in love fast."

But Melas points out that for a mega star like Spears it can be helpful for her significant other to be a celebrity insider like Trawick, rather than a regular guy like Dave.

"Many people believe that Jason Trawick was very good for Britney because he understands the business of being a celebrity," Melas said. "He was a Hollywood agent for a living, and Britney Spears would probably be better off dating someone who understands what it's like to live in the spotlight."
