probably scared the op off with real life talk. lol


it's always one thing to vacation to a place, and quite another to actually try to make a living there. The latter is never as fun as the former. You want to enjoy Hawaii? Take a yearly vacation. If you can't afford a yearly vacation, you likely cannot afford to live here 365/7/24

(waves 'howzit' to Viper - we're not talking behind your back, we're right here in front)

White Viper has his good sides, but there's also a crunchy side in there, too. Adds flavor the way I see it.

Which, if the OP notices it, is part of moving to an island. There's an underlying concept of we are all here together and need to get along. Crunchiness and all.

I'm happy to hear it. A female landing in Hawaii has a far better chance of making it than most male counterparts with no savings. It's naive to think otherwise.

Heck, before she jumps on the plane a housing wanted on Craigslist post can secure free housing before she even lands. It is what it s.

That's a horrible idea, and dangerous.

there's options like this if you're female, not so much if you're a dood.


'Sordid' adverts offer homeless women free accommodation in exchange for sex | The Independent


not to mention tons of female only services, etc. etc. most homeless are men. - not trying to start a gender war, but just stating what is.

Yes, because prostitution is always a good answer.

well, at least a better option than being homeless I suppose?

trading services for goods (rent) almost like dating, trading dinner and night out for hopeful services afterwards?

and women prostituting themselves out for fancy dinners and bags is going mainstream nowadays, sad to say. just look at all the sugar daddy type services being offered by women in college campuses nationwide. If their objective is just getting freebies, and the guys objective is getting sex, it's actually more honest than going on a "date" and dancing around the issue of what each party is really after. Similarly to offering free rent for sex instead of "dating" the guy to stay at his place rent free.

I didn't say it wasn't horrible or dangerous - it happens and females can and will do that.

It is tough but not doable. But it is getting harder and harder.

I also moved to the islands when I was 35. I tried a long time and couldn't find a decent job. Worst of all, my wife got pregnant.

That was way back in late 1980s. Whether you can make it on the islands more or less depends on your will and determination and planning.
