Yeah, I'm sure a lot of men on this board would think my cousin's girlfriend is attractive. She is a cute, petite blonde. My cousin isn't physically attractive, doesn't have a great personality, isn't smart, and doesn't work but she still wants him!

My son decided to take a year off from college. It was the classic case of choosing a school before choosing a major, then realizing they didn't have what he needed there.

When he got home, I gave him a month to find a job. He did, delivering pizzas at night and lounging around during the day. Slowly but surely, I made him pay for other things. His car insurance. His phone bill. His gas and movie money. When he dropped his mobile phone, he had to pony up for the replacement. Suddenly, he was out of money because he was only delivering pizzas four night a week.

Now, he has a daytime job on a freelance basis doing film production work. He is making much more money a day (Typical rate is around $200/day) and then delivering pizzas at night. Suddenly he's making money and having some left over at the end of the day. And on his own volition he's beginning to look at classes at a local university that does have what he needs.

Sometimes they just need a push.

I don't have anything against him as a relative, but I can objectively look at him and determine that he's not a good romantic prospect. lol

know that there are alot of "loser" females in their 20's too who share an affinity with "loser" males in that generation. i see it all the time, they play video games, order in chinese and snapchat all day, together in their stressless lazy existences.

Except for the part about having a girlfriend and not working, I could swear we have the same male cousin.

I have been through that. A few years after stepson was forced out he admitted it was the best thing because he had to take responsibility and was now in control of his own life.
