It’s one of the very few jobs that doesn’t require paying a rent, this is a very nice perk.


I work at a Chili's, not some fancy-schmancy apartment building.

A naively monogamist view of the world.

I think apart from the really damaged women, there are indeed many content to be one man's #2 then pair up with a sub-par. Just an observation...

You don't know for sure that you'd be able to get a relationship with a high-paying job
Do you think your low income is the only reason women won't date you now?

Most those women who rejected me would haves dated me if not for my low paid job, odds are one would have gotten into a relationship as we had quite a bit in common and I met most of their other requirements.

Yes I do as they tell me it is.
They ask what I do for work then tell me sorry they need a man who works a real job
Most the Women on wp say the same thing they won’t date men who don’t have wel paid jobs and tell other women not to as well


What kind of job do you have again? How much do you earn?

If I recall correctly he works a part time min wage retail job.


Yes and as many women have pointed out that’s not a real job, they didn’t even know part time but just retail isn’t considered a real job.


It's not a "real job" only by the standards of b_tches.

Honest work is honest work.


Have you ever considered that, past a certain, those types of women are only ones left single simply because nobody else has a reason to be?

What if the same principle applies to men? The only ones left single are the only ones who have reason to be? Women are half the population and so their pairing up with men will leave roughly even amounts of single men and women, so if the women who are still single are so for good reason, maybe you should consider that the same principle might apply to yourself.


I was not implying that it doesn't. I, for example, am broke, unable to obtain a job that pays decently, suffer from anxiety and lack social skills, have minimal relationship/sexual experience, am overweight, and whatever self-esteem I may have had in the past has been entirely beaten out of me by society and life. I am very much aware that one of the contributing factors to my chronic singleness is the fact that I have absolutely nothing to offer.

On a side note: relationships aren't evenly distributed the way you think. Many people, mostly men, have multiple sexual partners at the same time.

Too much gaming (or any in house activity) may be a symptom of social isolation, not the cause of it.

Me as an example, I’ve never turned down a social event for the sake of gaming or watching tv, but If I am staying home all the weekend and no one is inviting to somewhere, then I would end up gaming/tv/browsing/reading most of the time to kill boredom.


It’s that or lay around crying and feeling depressed about how horrible life is.
I try to avoid that as much as possible so I play games as much as I can, there’s not enough games to fill all my time sadly though.

I myself am 18 and have no job at all, but attend college and have had no problem with women. However, I am in college. A 50 year old virgin who still works in retail and plays video games all the rest of the time may be more of a problem for most women.

Also, I can confirm that too much gaming is usually to fill a hole in your life. In HS, it took up all my free time due to lack of social acceptance (autism was mostly not a factor, generally intolerance of interracial relationships and jealousy at my academ8c prowess were more common). I gound my home in college, haven’t gamed in months, and only feel a tiny bit of desire to return.


I’m 30
I went to college and graduated on the presidents list. College equivalent of honor roll. I could of joined the honor society
I didn’t date in college not that I had women chasing after me but I focused on my studies
I should have as most women here require a guy with a well paid job or in college, by time she realized I’m a failure she’d already loved me and maybe stayed with me i dont know but I didn’t try to date
Well I didn’t but didn’t have much success anyways I was still super shy back then. Afraid to message women.

In high school and college I spent my fee time hanging out with friends, they however “grew up” got good jobs married had kids or moved away, no time for their friend who didn’t change and isn’t normal.

Sly is 30 working part-time retail. I'd imagine he doesn't earn enough to move out of his parents' house bc even if he wanted to, hence my sighting that as a problem.


I could get a place on my own but why?
I’d be totally secluded from all human contact besides work. Doesn’t seem
That’d be a benifit to my mental health and I’d cause my family to become homeless and they’d hate me for it. So I’d be cut off from my family who is the last humans alive who care about me

There’s 3,000 more men then women in my age range. There’s literally not enough women for everyone.

So do I.


I sell ammo to people to go kill animals
:eew:
My work is filled with stuffed dead animals
:(
Our TVs show people killing and hurting animals and people there talk about it and show pictures.
Here’s my daughter on the elk she killed isn’t that amazing
:(
To be clear I’m not anti hunting but I don’t like how it’s glorified and more of just a gun activity to most. The animals shouldn’t be stuff and collected their hides should be used and made into things and all their other parts used too. They should be highly respected.
They are a life, not a toy or hobby.

Yes, and it's an unfortunate situation. Personally, I'm a dishwasher/janitor, and I wouldn't look down on guys in retail. In fact, I'd admire them because they have way better social skills than me

I can't do "customer service" worth a darn. If I wasn't asexual, I'd totally give Sly a shot.


0.o

Also I don’t event janitors, they get paid little more at my work but I refused. I’d have to work less hours and I can’t handle cleaning poop, pee, vomit etc

But you're customer service, which is something I could never do. I'd rather clean-up vomit than deal with people.

And you get paid more than I do. It's just unfortunate that you were born in a generation that doesn't recognize your talents.

Seriously, you have my absolute respect for putting up with what you put up with at Cabela's.

Because most women don't want to date a guy who's 30 and living with his parents. Also, independence, and you could move to another city/state where the man to woman ratio isnt so skewed.

How’d they like a guy who makes his mom homeless for no reason?
Besides it wouldn’t help. I’m still not working a real job and I don’t own a car.
I rent a place with my mom and sister.
Lady I’ve been talking to lives with her mom and helps pay the bills too.

Moving is nit logistically possible unless I got rid of everything I own and go homeless and walk there. Then I’d be unemployed(no ones going hire me to work part time, my current job wouldn’t have if they knew), and without a dress I’d be with social security.

I dont know that I do a good job at it. I can’t even get people to sign up for credit cards and customers and coworkers get upset at me.

I don’t work at returns thankfully

Different states. Our rents are higher. My friend lives in Missouri where mine wage is $6. He makes about same as me which is quite good for his state.

Talents? My talents were replaced with machines and cheap Chinese labor. I imagine I’d been good at factory work or quality control.

I think of quitting often and worry they’re going fire me a lot
I may get fired after Christmas. They won’t need me anymore likely.
