Since my 20’s, I’ve been attracted to men in their 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. It’s quite common for women to like older men, it’s something to do with emotional maturity and stability.


Like Vs hooking up with a man in his 50s are two different things but each to their own.

I know that. I, unlike your cousin, am not a normie. I'm autistic/ADHD. And I (again, not a normie), met someone and established a great relationship at the age of 55. The point of my reply was that it's not only normies (such as your cousin) who experience this, but also autistic people (such as me). Is that clear now?

Sure, but my cousin's case was unusual in that he literally had nothing going for him.

I'm not rich and I get hit on by women all the time.

Does getting hit by your wife count?

You don't have to be rich at all to get a woman. It helps however not to be on the opposite end of the spectrum, i.e, being poor sometimes hinders ones social opportunities.

If money is not important in dating, then how many women date homeless men?

Probably not very many, just like I don't see men cruising Tent City for relationships.
There are bound to be some though.
Some couples are homeless together, including seniors who can no longer make rent.

A person can be completely insolvent without being homeless.
They might live with their parents or in a group home paid by the state.

Money isn't always an issue, but homelessness brings the risk of drugs or street crime.

* I should also add that some homeless people do have money.
Lack of money and homelessness aren't always or necessarily synonymous.

Some on-purpose « homeless » refugees breed like rabbits.

Yes but that's not the same as dating.

TBH, I think it's somewhat more complicated. It is a factor, but unless you're fairly far out on the distribution, it's not a crucial factor. That being said, regardless of where you are on the income distribution, for women that care about money, making more than they are relative seems to be more important than in terms of absolute income.

Also, keep in mind that as women get into their 30s, if they haven't already found somebody, they're going to be stuck with the decision about marrying down or going without entirely. And with the number of women graduating college in the US being approximately double the number of men, there's going to be a fair number that have to marry down just to find anybody at all.

That being said, there are limits, hence why you don't see women flocking to date homeless men. And why rich men have to be careful about the sort of women they're attracting.

Street crime is obvious, but I fail to see a link between homelessness and drugs except for poverty forcing one into dealing.
Drugs generally require cash, something not usually associated with homelessness.
(Unless you luck into a situation like mine)

Do you really think men don't cruise tent cities looking for the exploitable?
It's a major hazard in Africa and the middle east
