Bull*hit! She just needs some new guides, that's all. Because, anything the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve. A winner never quits and a quitter never wins. And, because she believes in me, she'll continue to win.

Most guys wouldn't think anything of it. But, at least you did. That's called her overplay for the underlay. And, she probably recognizes that guys who don't know how to stand up for themselves, will always fall for it. Your next move is to flip it on her, tell her what she doesn't have, and give it to her. But, remember: game is sold, not told!.

The point is, there are other things besides the usual stuff adults do that makes a person a good catch. Having a job and shelter is nothing special.


Ok CheesieMum?
No, you implied that being interesting was more important than being able to support oneself. And I disagree with that....completely. There are many many people out there that are unable to support themselves...for various reasons. Getting themselves on sound financial footing should be priority ONE, in my opinion.

That was NOT what was implied. Not at all.

Exactly. Not sure where the thread went off on such a tangent. That wasn't even the OP's premise.

So tell me, if she's asked "what makes her a great catch" what can she possibly say that wouldn't be an automatic turn off? Because by the logic above whatever she says will immediately disqualify whatever quality she tries to put forward. She literally cannot say anything, and just have to stay mum, bash her eyelids and quietly mumble "I'm humble and modest"? In which case you guys will automatically declare she's arrogant, egocentric and conceited. What the hell? With that kind of attitude no girl will ever be good enough, except for the most self deprecating one.

It's one thing if she is bragging, you all know the type, but if she was honestly asked what makes her a great catch, and if she basically replied it's because she has her stuff together and takes care of herself, in so many words, I have no idea how you can possibly hold that against her. An independent woman who can take care of herself is at least a couple of steps closer to being a great catch. Now, that alone does not mean she is a great match, but it is a prequalifier to being one. A woman who cannot take care of herself will never be a great catch.
Excellent post.

Be careful. How much of her house does she actually own? She could be deeply in debt.
