While I agree with the part about being a boring date and working too much to be interesting, he totally left out the part about being unattractive due to being completely broke.
- orangecat 15y agoMoney is overrated in terms of attraction. Perceived status is what matters (for men), and money is often correlated with status but doesn't directly lead to it. A socially skilled entrepreneur who's broke but confident will do far better than a highly paid socially inept geek.
- pgroves 15y ago"Socially skilled" is similar to "good at picking up girls," so I guess I would agree because that's close to a tautology. I'm just saying that when a girl figures out you work 12 hours a day and live off of $25K a year, much of which comes from credit cards, it is a bit more of a "con" than a "pro" in their mind.
