orangehose Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 B4R, From everything you've said, Gigi's opinions were not too sound. I promise you there are lots of women who would find a librarian hot. You just haven't met the right one. I second this. Plenty of women in my circles would dig librarians... I know that would be a plus for me, just as I'd be fine with a high school math teacher or a journalist or grad student in Russian literature or whatnot. What I worry is that they won't be fine with me making more money than them. But that's off topic. A more general comment: if you're not making tons of money, you may be less likely to get women who look like Donald Trump's wife. So maybe standards need to be adjusted. Obviously, you want to be attracted to the women you date, but the blond bombshell 9's and 10's are going to be inundated with offers from rich men, and will be less appreciative of someone who's smart but not making loads of money.

I'm studying to be a librarian. We're not usually the types of guys who chase Pamela Anderson Lee. Link to post Share on other sites

Mary3 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 It does not matter * What * a person writes on their profile because most of the time things are fabricated . Such as height , weight , income , ANYTHING that might make someone less attractive to others.. A * nice * guy might really be a panty waisted wimp. A * fun * guy might just want to watch WWE wrestling and eat greasy french fries. The list goes on and on so whether you lie ( or tell the truth ) your profile is always open for scrutiny.

serial muse Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Bah. Sorry you're not having any luck there, Amerikajin, but I just get so tired of hearing this kind of *****. Cards on the table: I dated exactly that man - in his 30s, left his job and moved home to go to grad school to follow his dream, lived with his parents. Also, I met him online. So basically, I dated you, Amerikajin. And I loved him very much and couldn't give a crap about the fact that he didn't have any money. (He did give a crap about it, though - which was part what unraveled our relationship). And yes - what I admired about him was that he took that risk to follow his dream. Furthermore, I also related to it because I had done the exact same thing, not too much earlier, and I understood what it took. It made complete sense to me, and I was happy for him that he had the courage to do it. Additionally, I found him to be an interesting, complex person, which was a nice change from many of the other people I knew in that (rather small) town, who hadn't ever taken a chance or tried to shake up their lives and make them what they really wanted them to be, rather than playing it safe. Not that anyone who already believes what they want to believe will pay any attention to this post , but just for the record, this nonsense about how all women are golddiggers is completely ASININE, to my certain knowledge. Sigh. Whatever. Resume nonsense, sorry you can't get a date. Link to post Share on other sites

riobikini Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 re: Amerikajin: "..we will once and for all prove that women are driven by money.." AK, I agree that there are people -female or male- who are motivated by money as a primary reason to date someone. However, not all. As for choosing an internet dating site in which to "prove" your theory -I think it's safe to say your results are very likely going to be *exactly as expected*. It's kind of like betting money with your city cousin on the way to a pig farm about whether or not it's going to stink when you get there. On the *other* hand -regarding the issue of women's general preferences- just let me say that I would much rather date someone who has a job -and knows how to earn a supporting income. On the scale of who's appealing or *not* appealing, look at it this way: Say you're a gal who likes living *inside*, eating, riding instead of walking, and keeping warm in the winter. Say with one of your date prospects you learn the guy isn't working, can't seem to hold on to a job except for a short stint at a time, and shows every sign that *you'll* wind up being the one who's supporting him -for as long as you'll put up with it. Let's say with the other date prospect, the guy has a job, seems to be meeting all his financial obligations, has a little extra cash, and, overall, makes more intelligent choices regarding his money. Which guy would *you* choose? (Smile) From a gal's perspective -and one who can support herself (and most of her Southern relatives) just fine without someone else's dollars- let me say that the right answer here, is a quick "no-brainer". -Rio Link to post Share on other sites
lindya Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Anyway, I've decided to have some fun with this. I'm going to change my profile and lie - about everything. Just to see what happens. Well, actually, I think I'm mainly going to lie about my income. You see, I'm going to change "unemployed" to "self-employed" and "I'll tell you later about my income" to "100,000/year and above". A more serious version of this http://www.loveshack.org/forums/t67784/?highlight=gold+pile+diggers ? Anyone want to bet me that more chicks don't flock to me after changing those two variables alone? Anyone else doubt that when the results are finished, we will once and for all prove that women are driven by money (just as we men are driven by hot bodies)? There are certain simple truths that cannot be denied. I'm sure you will get a far higher response rate if you advertise a high income. If your experiment produces the anticipated results, do you have any plan in mind regarding practical use or application of those results? Link to post Share on other sites

dropdeadlegs Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 the average american male earns around $40,000/yr. I think that's probably true as an average, of course geography plays into earnings. In a fairly low cost area, $40k is average. In NYC where everything costs triple you would have to earn much more to even survive and have any hopes of home ownership. (speaking of Burning4Revenge)It never occurred to me that you're a loser. Of all the people I've seen you interact with on this site, you're the only one who seems to have that opinion of you. I think being in school is a good thing. A lot of people can't even get into grad school. And a lot of people would gladly take a break from their careers to go back to school. A lot of people can't do that, and so they spend their lives doing things just to get by. You need to learn to be proud of yourself. Well I appreciate that, but in the real world most women view you as a loser if you don't have a career earning decent $$ at 32. And if you tell them you're going to be a librarian you're done for. You can see the look of contempt in their eyes when they talk to you. My last gf would constantly tell me that it was a career for spinsters and fagg*ts and that she had no respect for me. That's the real world. I don't see you as a loser. Maybe a bit quirky, but you have a good sense of humor and above average intelligence. I have always wanted to be a librarian, I think that would be the ideal job for me. Not everyone knows that it requires a high level of education to earn a librarian's degree. I'm sorry that many women do not find that an appealing career for a partner, but I think I do. On to Amerikajun's experiment...Once when I was single for a short time I did post an online profile on a well known dating site where posting a profile was free, but services involving contact had a price. I felt that I posted a pretty accurate description of myself, but some will say that is impossible. I did not post a photo and while I had many views of my, nobody responded, not even to request a photo. One man stated in his profile that he had his friends create it because he felt that they saw him in a light that he didn't see himself in. I presumed it was a more flattering light. That's besides the point and the point is that after three weeks I put up a photo and BAM! The responses and interest came flooding in. I had not changed one single word about me other than uploading a picture. I felt discouraged that my photo brought attention but what I see as myself did not. I didn't respond to anyone and withdrew my profile within a week. I wasn't interested in meeting someone whose interest in me appeared too dependent on a physical aspect. The ladies at work sure got a lot of chuckles out of "reading between the lines" of the responders, though. We were a bored bunch at that particular time. That's how my experiment worked out. If surprised at all by the outcome, I would say that the sheer numbers was the only surprise. Three weeks of nada then less than one week with over 50 responses. Just goes to show that men are visual creatures, which I already knew. Link to post Share on other sites
