So, Nimz, why do you think guys like this seek you out? And why do you talk to them and get involved with them? You have a choice. You don't have to let them into your life.

Been a LOSER all my life- Don't have any money...don't drive a care anymore- and I live with my oldest daughter who pays most of the bills...What I did win at was- I had an interesting time writing and playing music- got to be the hero on stage- Spent 18 years in the film industry- got to hang out with movies stars...Learned to be a very good painter and have works that put most trained artist to shame...

I raised four kids who are doing fine- and was pretty good at long term relationship- Had an interesting life- always had fun- all was an adventure and the money came and went...But I am classed as a LOSER...By most...one thing I did achieve, was than I did what ever I pleased and did not worry about status...If I had to depend on how much money I had to have self esteem- I may as well have been a bank teller- a winner with a steady job...I would rather be this loser I am.

Lucky you. I suppose that if you live in a place where women are desperate for any sort of men with prospects, you'll have no problem. Here, if you aren't making 6 figures by age 26, they'd rather hitch up with good young prospects among the scions of wealthy families.

It surprised me when I first saw it. Decent 30 something guys with professional credentials and a career ahead of them, getting little interest.

yes and the 'path least traveled' has really gotten us far, hasn't it? LOL. In the end the majority always wins.

Well technically you're not the loser like this OP is talking about or at least I don't think. You actually had a life and a family and stuff like that -- which by society's standards is considered successful I guess.

Possessions and accomplishments aren't everything, it's what you do with them. The sooner you learn that, the better off you'll be. At 19, I had bought my second car, had a job, was a full time student and had just been left by a girl I dated for three years. In my case, I came to the realization that most women my age at the time were more interested in being party girls, not my style. I wound up meeting a woman older than me that was far more compatible with my lifestyle. This was 10 years ago, we're still together and married.

I suspect if "losers" are all you're attracting, it's all that you're hanging out with. Branch out a bit and don't be so conceited.

I think most people are interested in partying at that age. On their own for the first time, many with some disposable income and horny as hell... that's rarely a good combination

I agree with attracting losers though, I'm removing myself from a bad environment full of 'losers' and moving to a larger city with more opportunity. I think a lot of people just need to shake up their life a little bit.
