I'm not really looking to build websites for other people, but I have a concept and I have unique content compiled personally and I have an East Coast partner who also has content. It will be a welcome resource for dealers and collectors in out niche. What we have is >10 times greater and better than anything currently online. We also have tons of product to sell on this website and we are tired of having 15% taken off the top to sell on eBay.

At least I had the good sense to not borrow up to my eyeballs to go to law school; I saw others graduating with tons of debt and no law jobs in sight - and decided to quit while I was behind.

Ah, one of my favorite catch-22s of dating.

If you want equality, you obviously can't get anyone 'decent' therefore you're undesirable.
If you want a guy to spend money on you, you're a golddigger.

You really can't win.

It depends on your definition of being broke.

There's a huge difference between a person who works and eeks by every month and someone who lives in mommy's basement earning just enough to keep themselves in Doritos and the latest Xbox game.

With that BIG DI--

well that helps... but it took me a little longer to learn this than it should have but, really, women find a personality more attractive than a body. Too many times, with -my own eyes- I seen dudes that look like the werewolf actor from TrueBlood get turned down in favor of someone with a skinny yet flabby body because that 2nd person says or does things that make a woman (ok, y'all ready for this next word?)

-Happy-

That's it! Why is this so hard for some guys to understand? Congratulations, Rage, on your breakthrough in understanding the fairer sex!

We were both pretty broke. He was unemployed when we started dating, although he found one after a few weeks. I was a student and worked a couple part-time jobs. I think a big benefit of youth is not caring so much about money.

Women are diverse, Your Mileage May Vary. Some are attracted to a hot body, some are attracted to a magnetic personality, some are attracted to money/status/power in various combinations.

If there were a way to quickly know precisely what a particular woman finds attractive, you could focus on women who are attracted to your specific strengths.

I'm broke, and I find other ways to work around my situation- keeping things simple, not going for over-the-top elaborate..

Enjoy each others company- doesn't take much dinero just to hang out and have FUN!

I know several broke men who are in relationships, so it happens.
