@100percentdegenerate's comment on ':marseywagie: asks if working retails in your 30s has any effect on finding a partner'

I'll be real with you, unless you're VERY good looking where you clearly get tons of female attention or you're the store owner making good money, I'm here to tell you that most women will not even look your way. They'll view a guy working retail in his 30s for his main job as pathetic, unmotivated, and unable to financially provide. Sure you might be able to get a significantly overweight single mom that will take what she can get, but that's probably about it.

Lmao get out of here bitter betty. My last two relationships have been with guys that made SIGNIFICANTLY less than me (I’m in tech) and nowhere near 6 figures. I’m going on a date tomorrow with a guy who works in the service industry and I am REALLY interested in him. Money doesn’t matter to everyone, it’s connection and emotional availability for me. As long as a guy can pay for his own life and isn’t leeching off me I couldn’t care less.

Source: 34/F mom who is NOT significantly overweight or desperate. I also work remotely and love to travel.

A redditor telling you they’re not significantly overweight is like 190lbs at 5’8”

higher value women wont. if that is the best she can get then sure. there aint gonna be any beauty queens dating a retail worker bro.

Work retail jobs, date retail women. There's really no shame in it as long as you aren't settling for the single moms :marseyshrug: or get niche interest women with wealthy families to simp for you :marseycool: that works for me

me and a friend were talking about the single mom thing and im trying to figure out why they are subconsciously revolting, i think its just that being a single mother signifies that they make awful decisions, if her husband died as opposed to her just breaking up would this make it better?

I think a lot of the "ew" factor of single moms is that they expect you to provide for someone else's children. When it's an empty nester single mom and that's not a factor, then you're just left with an attractive older woman who has tons of alimony cash to spend on you. It's honestly a really good time for a few months.
