I am slightly confused by your use of "quality man" term. The things you're looking for are pretty basic indeed but I dont think that thats generally what is meant by the term.
I think "quality man" implies superior genetics more than anything. That includes looks, good hair, full beards, high testosterone, etc... I also think that one cannot become that. Its something that you are born with. I am a decent looking guy and hit everything on your list, but really I am just an average person and women dont typically stand in line to meet me, at least not the kind of women that interest me. So I am staying alone, even though it makes me sad sometimes.
Oh I see. I remember a tradition just like that in the lunchroom when I was in middle school. That really takes me back.
Your middle school had a bar? Jealous.

I think the standards you mention early in your post are that of quality. I remember a thread from way back that talked about nice guys vs. good men.
Upsadaisy is from small town Carolinas where most guys with any potential and drive move to a place with better economic opportunities. I’ve always been an upsadaisy cheerleader. She was dealt a tough hand in life and it’s tough to escape the cycle of southern small town poverty. The only path out is education. The suggestions here that she work on herself first and worry about dating later are exactly right.
You may have misunderstood her, but it would be good if the OP could clarify. I read her post as saying she had to help out her mom with kids & babies. According to her profile, the OP is only 21.
I believe the kids and babies were taken from her sister. Upsadaisy was living under the same roof with her mother, her sister, maybe her brother-in-law, and her sister's children. She was trying to do the right thing for the children in the face of big alcohol and drug problems in the household.
If somebody deserves to have some good things happen in their life, it's upsadaisy.
I think some here are selling McDonald's a little short. I had a cousin who worked there in management for years before entering nursing school. Out of curiosity, I did a quick Google search and found that they provide education assistance to their employees.
At McDonald’s we are committed to helping employees further their education and achieve their dreams.
To help anyone who works at a company-owned or independently franchised restaurant, we created Archways to Opportunity, a comprehensive education strategy with multiple programs that give people an opportunity to grow and learn – no matter where they are on their journey.
Quote:
Programs are available to McDonald’s employees and the employees of participating independent franchisees. Here are just a few ways Archways to Opportunity can help employees on the path to success:
Improve English skills
Earn a high school diploma
Work toward a college degree
Get help making an education plan for success
I think the OP has done a lot to better her situation already just by getting away from her dysfunctional family and securing gainful employment once again. Daisy, I think you should consider taking your job seriously (cut way back on the chit-chat, no dating managers or co-workers) and take advantage of the educational assistance that is offered via these various programs -- if available at your location. Is it a company owned location or a franchise?
This post isn't helpful to your dating question, but as others have pointed out, if you focus on bettering yourself you stand a better chance of attracting a higher quality person.

That really takes me back.
