> [@Ravenman](#): > > If I have learned anything from the movie Idiocracy, it is that poor people with limited education somehow find ways to have sex without paying for it. > > It’s quite clear that the problem here is not that lack of money stops men from getting with girls. It is that behavioral issues (perhaps depression, maybe personality disorders, perhaps just not being an interesting and friendly person) are virtually always the reason that someone can’t find a voluntary companion. The OP would be wise, and most likely much more happy in general, if he concentrated on identifying his behavioral issues, rather than fixating on things like sex and disposable income. I’m a good person. I live a spiritual and righteous life. I keep God in my life. I’m never depressed or angry and I’m always in a good mood. I treat other people with respect because I like everyone 2 have fun and be in a relaxing atmosphere ---

> [@Yakuza](#): > > What can I invest $800 a month in? I don’t think there is too much that u can use 2 invest $800 a month in. I’m better off saving the money I have left overw after escorts until 2025 so I can have a lot of savings built up and I will have moved up in management by then so I can get a girlfriend Ok now I am sure we are being punk’d. Moving along now. ---

> [@Yakuza](#): > > Wow, I guess thats suppose 2 hurt my feelings. Humans like u seem 2 think that u can make me feel depressed for the purpose if making u seem more powerful. I got God on my side, what do I need approval from a human like u for? I’m not mad that all I can get is escorts, if thats what God provides 4 me, then I’m cool. So go ahead and pretend like u are hurting my feelings If God were on your side (if he existed, that is) you’d be making more than $800 a month and wouldn’t be paying half of it for hookers. Perhaps a bit less “me” and a bit more “you” (not to mention books and a plan to advance yourself) would let you find a woman and save $400 a month. Now that would be a good investment. And if you come across at work like you come across here, don’t plan too heavily on being promoted. ---

I wasn’t calling anybody stupid or low class, and I didn’t think you were either. Fair enough, but this sounds like you’re saying “I was talking about his feathers, webbed feet, and bill. I wasn’t calling anybody a duck or fowl.” I mean, I’ve never met the guy so I’m just inferring these things, but what you call out are the same things that led me to my conclusion. ---

So how many here did finish college? Just curious. I didn’t, but that’s 'cause I was an idiot when I was ‘college-age’, though I may return for fun and profit. I, however, had the arrogance to say that I didn’t finish because I was bored. True, but arrogant. Amazing how 20 years will really make you eat your words. Enjoy yourself, **Yakuza** , as youth is, in fact, fleeting. If you want to pay for sex, and you are doing it with happy sex workers, knock yourself out. I think you may change your views in a decade or two, but your development is yours! Just wrap that weasel… ---
