A. I would totally fuck a guy who worked in retail, but only if that retail establishment sold Steve Madden shoes and the guy was willing to use his employee discount (with my money) to obtain cheap Steve Maddens. B. I don’t think women don’t want the OP because of his lack of income. Just in this thread, I can see about ten other reasons I wouldn’t poke him with a ten-foot stripper pole, and none of them are related to the OP’s financial situation. Really, my message to any guy who is thinking this way is this: You are making this all about _you_. Try empathy. Think about how your words and actions come across to other people who have feelings. Think about how those attitudes and actions affect other people. That’s empathy. Work on that. ---

They’re intelligent, well-read, and are obsessive about one subject. **Yakuza** has none of those traits. Pathetic, how a low level human like u think u can hurt my feelings ---

> [@Guinastasia](#): > > I’m guessing they’re more distracted by the “homeless because you spend on your money on whores” thing. Just a hunch. No, back in the day when I had a place 2 stay, my luck with getting free women finally ran out and I got tired of getting rejected so I decided that its not worth it 2 have a place 2 stay if I can’t have a free girl. So I might as well live in the wilderness so I can have more money for escorts ---

So **Yak** (if I may), can you tell us the story about how you discovered internet escorts? And maybe your first time with one? ---

I been knowing about internet escorts, its just that I could not find any in Arkansas. Other states, especially Nevada, were the only ones who I knew had them. I wanted 2 try an escort service but I was worried that they would send me a girl that I didn’t want. Then one day I found [backpage.com](http://backpage.com), I picked the girl I wanted and from then on I’ve been happy with life ever since ---

My home phone number is 1 digit away from that of a local escort service, so I get some… interesting wrong numbers in the middle of the night. Gotta say, Yak sounds pretty much par for the course. ---

> [@Yakuza](#): > > Yes, we do want a girl who looks good but not all of us bad luck guys expect the girl 2 be super fine like a internet model. Internet model? On the Internet, nobody knows if you are a dog. 😃 Many women (and men too) are going to be more interested in someone with prospects. Living in a basement and blowing your money on “escorts” is clearly not cutting it. The recent spate of movies on losers who get hot chicks are fiction. Save your money, get a better job, and move someplace you can be proud of and you’ll do a lot better. ---

> [@madmonk28](#): > > In your quest to find the right woman, might I suggest that you stop typing 2 for the word to? I doubt that typing “2” instead of “two” is even in the Top 10 list of his biggest obstacles to finding the right woman. Seriously, is it that much of a problem? Iit’s quite obvious that “2” means “to,” so can all of you wannabe internet editors ease up on this silly criticism? It’s not an essay writing contest, it is a message board. As far as Yakuza is concerned, I’m still not sure if this is all a joke that he’s pulling on everyone. I actually find his comments very funny, and I think at some point he may “come out” and explain that he’s been fooling all this time. ---
