To women, all men are (potential) "resources". (Talk about objectification!)

Average men are resources. Poor men are...ungatz.

No, I don't think so. I guess people would say I am a gold digger and I would never date anyone that make less than 6 figures. Average men are not resources.

I can parallel park.

My parents claim me as their son.
There is a Subway sandwich shop near my home AND another one near my office.
I am proficient in the use of MS Word.
I have health insurance.
I was never expelled from school.
I have never killed anyone. Not even once.
I have all 10 of my original toes, and no extra ones.
Mr. Rogers said I'm special, just by being me.

Get in line, ladies.
I love this! LOL Reminds me of MadTV Lowered Expectations.

If you are nearing 40, like the OP, this could be a concern for some women. If you haven't found a career path your happy and successful in by then, will you ever? Do you have anything in common with the woman--assuming she has a career. Would you be able to afford to get married and start a family in the next few years?

Now not only do women want you to live alone, but you have to be in a big a$$ HOUSE. LOL

The last time I checked a studio apt was a lot better than

My Mom's house
Homeless Shelter
A roomate


Dating continues to be crazy in philly.
It was simple question.

[just answer it and if she doesn't like it that's her problem]

Yes, I always laugh when a working class stiff, comes on the Relationship Forum and mentions that he is worried about gold diggers.

Yeah, I've sorta coined low level gold diggers as "silver diggers"... LOL...

I personally have never had an experience where a woman was gold digging for my vast middle class wealth.....
