1. you have a job so that brings in money
2. you have no girlfriend nor have ever been on a date so that saves TONS of money
3. you live with your parents so you have no rent or utility bills
4. I think you said you are 30? so that is 8 yrs post college of earnings?
well then WTF!!! I don't care if you are working in fast food, Get a roommate and find someplace cheap to live and start LIVING!
If I was a 30 yr old introvert-midget-hermit I would at least make sure I lived in a hut on a beach in key west or something. yikes
1) Just because he has a job, doesn't mean he is bringing in ample amount of funds every week. If he has an outstanding credit debt, then believe that it becomes a handicap to his everyday living.
2)Not having a GF would probably indicate that most people have HOBBIES. Hobbies are and will always be an investment. Whether it is Playing WoW or building Model train sets, etc.
3)How do you know whether or not he pays rent without seeing a CoO(Cert of Occupancy)?
4) So what? If he majored into a sinking market(liberal arts), then he more than likely has to start a new career by going back for a different degree or just Adult continuing education.
I swear some people have no concept of today's living standards in United states at all or have any understanding of dating standards.
90% of innercity Women are attracted to Guys for materialism. Ever wonder why so many guys hook (mod) their cars up (Honda, Subaru,Escalade,etc) with fancy accessories? They aren't doing it to impress the next guy. It's for the opposite sex.
The whole "Confidence" advise is pretty much outdated. You can be a confident pervert or confident overweight male or confident with Acne. That doesn't mean anything. At the end of the day, it's more about How much money you have or what kind of vehicle you drive.
Although, I don't speak for every ethnic background available. I can speak on my day to day observations and also speak based on the fact I'm in a similar situation of the OP. I don't make alot of money and I'm still finishing school and women for some odd reason Do Not speak at all. It's almost as if you're transparent to them when there is no materialism involved. But, I'm only 26. Just my observation and opinion.
