LOL I could not drink and work and go to college it would not work one had to go and I do not miss it at all. Also drinking 4 to 5 fifths a week by your self is not good for ones body . At the time i needed it to get through life waking up going to work and going home drink ones self to sleep .

Now seeing i only get 25 to 30 hours of sleep a week my post some times sound drunk. I am sure 18 to 20 hour days do not help but you got to do what you got to do.

I think I pointed this out before. If the guy is really good looking or can lay it down most women would not care about his employment or career and will do whatever to be in a relationship with a guy that is good looking but also broke. For some of these women being with a good looking man even though he is broke is like winning the lottery. I see this a lot up here in NY especially in poor neighborhoods with working class women with broke uneducated men, but also in gentry areas with career minded women dating artistic creative men who have no real income either. To be honest it was really a huge eye opener for me that plenty of women money is not an issue when it comes to dating and relationships initially. The problem is that down the road money becomes an issue when relationships progress like living together, having kids or even marriage.

I know of a guy who is on SSI, really good looking fella too, his girlfriend is not so good looking either but she has a good job, she does not mind that he works for now, he even cheats on his girlfriend from time to time. Sad part is that this woman turned down plenty of decent guys who are average looking and have jobs. I know of another sad story about a woman seeing two guys, one guy who is decent with a good job, but not so attractive and bought her a 500 dollar purse from Louis Vuitton as a present, a week later she goes to Louis Vuitton store with a different guy that she likes who is very attractive but at the same time broke, degenerate and high school dropout. She goes there with the guy she likes so that he can pick out the handbag for her while she buys it with her own money. Even my best friends girlfriend told me that my friend is very attractive and she really loves him, she admitted that he cheats on her, but he is good looking guy. She also admitted that she does not want to have babies for him because he does not earn any money and has no real lifelong goals. Some of these guys who are in these types of relationships also see other women on the side too because they don't work and have free time. And I agree these women will be paying bills, food, video games for these guys. I hope these women are smart enough to end the relationship with a broke good looking guy if they want a baby or marriage.

In todays time your average woman does not want an average man that has average income or average looks. in some cases its either your good looking, or have money. The above average guy can still cheat, but the average woman will still be happy. Average men are screwed these days in America except for those who live in laidback areas. Its time to get the passport and take a trip to Brazil and play Butt conga or sex journey in Bangkok or Phuket Thailand.

I make minimum wage right now but I'm working on certifications etc. I may at some point make six figures...if I do, and women are suddenly interested in me, they will be ignored. I want a girlfriend, not a prostitute.

I doubt he would be on the radar of any gold digger to even to have to hide his hundred dollar bills in his smelly socks

It happens.
I have a friend who had a boyfriend who was a poor good looking young guy that she took care of. She never bragged about his sexual prowess but I would have to agree he was a good looking guy. He was also incapable of taking care of himself which was pretty pathetic. When we went out as a group she would always pay his tab. Most of us felt pretty embarrassed for the both of them. They lasted about 9 months and he had another sugar momma lined up before they split. Was this a great experience for her? Not likely since she doesn't look back with good memories when she talks about him.

I realize that the trend is now for people to marry later in life, as opposed to right out of college anymore.

But one benefit of marrying young in the past was that a couple could grow together in all ways, including financially as they advanced into their careers together.

Good for you for working on making yourself as employable as possible in a field in which you can advance and earn more over time.

Just don't make the mistake of buying into the notion that women only care about your bank account. If you do that you'll be truly paranoid to the point of not having a woman in your life at all

What the majority of them care MORE about is what your work ethic is and how driven you are to live up to your full potential.

Believe it or not, THAT is either a big turn on or a big turn off for women.

Hm...I'm not sure being sleep deprived is the only thing going on here...

Don't make this a NYC thing dude and you really don't want to make me take my hoops and heels off! Just because your female friends are stupid about the men they choose doesn't mean it's the norm for most women.

You need to snap out of it. For real. There is so much going on in the world. Get out and enjoy it. I'm being serious. I don't know what your reasons are for feeling the way you do, I don't know anything about you, but I do know that everyone has things they have to deal with in their own lives. I do. But, I also choose to LIVE my life despite all the crap I have to deal with.

I don't get the low self esteem thing?
