Hey I'm Rob...i have been single since last October. I'm a good looking guy, very funny, and very caring and generous.....I just lost my job of 5 years due to being involved with a law-suit at work and the economy. I ended up having to move back in with my mother up in Tennessee. Before i lost the job i was paying the bills but barely getting by so therefore i never had a date life. Everyone i came across stopped talking with me after they saw the money i could afford to spend on going out.

Well now i'll be collecting unemployment and it feels like there is no hope of there being any good women in my age group out there who would even talk to me....Do u guys see this as i need to make more money for stability just to get a woman's attention?...or is it that more and more women just don't realize how hard it is at the bottom these days for a guy like me so they ignore me? Just want some honest feedback...thanx alot

Heck with women right now, work to find good employment and a career direction. Work on improving your life. Once that confidence comes, women won't be a problem. (they do tend to prefer employed men as well)

Ok, I am going to cut right to the bone on this one. I would not call myself materialistic or a gold digger but I want to be with someone as a partner, not someone that I have to support. I am not saying that you have to make more money than I do but you have to be bringing something to the table. On the opposite sides of this are women who want to be the breadwinners and there are women who want the man to bring home all the money. To sum it all up, everyone is different in what they expect from their s/o. Keep looking and you will find someone who respects you for you-not what is in your wallet.

No, it really doesn't work that way. Not normally. Women do not have any moral obligation to "stick with you" in the hard times when they don't really know you.

Just forget about women right now, it will simplify things and giv eyou more clarity anyway. Not to mention, they are a pain in the ass!!! =-)

School is always an option, you can go to community college. You can work full time and take night classes, if your job doesn't have enough hours then you can get two jobs and go to school. People do it all of the time, it just depends on how hard you want to work to get ahead. And no I would not date someone who didn't have a job, just like I wouldn't expect someone to date me if I didn't have a job.

Nah, it ain't all about the money always. The main thing, when you're down on your luck, your insecurities and disappointments tend to permeate outward and females can smell that **** a mile away, lol. Like I said, just work your butt off and get right with yourself first.

wish it was all black and white like that for me...i can't get a loan for anything....and going back to Devry is just a waist of time because i remember about 20 percent of what i learned theer and if i got back i could only fail the review coarse once and then wouldnt be able to take it again because i failed it one time already...

on the lab project because my partner didnt bring everything he needed for it so we failed that and i failed the coarse...so with lost knowledge i dont have the confidence of passing the class again because 80 percent was hands on training which is either forgotten now by me or out-dated from 6 years ago...im in default on my loans now anyway and cant afford to even pay the minimum every month in my situation now...

i can barely eat as it is right now..wish it was easy as busting ass and being the best but ive learned being the best and busting ass usually gets u no where in a job from my experience....i was a person who knew every job in my store at Domino's pizza but new managment gave hours to people who couldnt take a customers order on a phone or wash dishes....while i got hours cut because a lawsuit involving my roomates which the owners knew we all lived together....like i say i wish it was all black and white like it is for alot of people..my experience is different
