I have no idea what this means. But your posts here sound like they're driven by some kind of agenda.

Law and web design pretty over saturated gigs. I know what it's like to be a failure though. I'm in my mid 30s and never made over 9 bucks an hr. At least I didn't go into massive debt chasing unrealistic dreams

Most of them are sort of the "troubled bad-boy" type with tatoos, prison time, etc. Women love that.

I have no money either. However, I do not date because it is a waste of time.

Find a woman who doesn't care and doesn't mind going dutch or footing the bill.

It means that a poor/unemployed man is undateable in the eyes of most females. While a woman's financial situation makes very little difference to the kind of partner she can attain.

My comment was a way of thanking you for not trying to claim otherwise.

Now men with little money and no charm, yeah, they're pretty SOL.
True story. Plenty of women who are damaged from a bitter breakup, who just flat out don't want to be single. Take up with the first man that pays them attention. It's not about being happy, it's about filling a void. Single mom's find themselves in this trap a lot, especially if they sacrificed their careers for their prior partner(s). The ability to "catch up" can become daunting, so they settle for the next best thing.
