Truth about Relationships

[Sweet_Bitch]

I've already played the "I have it all" game with "have it all" defined by what is sterotypically pursued. From the outside I have it all. And it's all empty.

I'll second that too . It's a horrible feeling to look at your life and think "I have everything that I could want and it all means nothing." It happens to me sometimes, especially right now. But isn't all empty, you have yourself and that means something.

While I wouldn't seek out an UGLY guy, looks are far from everything. And much less important then money. There I said it! No one wants to date/marry a broke ass guy. I don't want to sit at home and eat bon bons while they work, I have job and I make decent money, but I'd rather marry someone who was financially secure (not rich, just secure) then someone beautiful and broke.

If that financially secure guy hit some bad times and was all of sudden broke ass guy (but had the drive to build himself back up, would you stay and work with him as a partner (support him if you had too)?

I couldn't handle being with someone who didn't want to work. I don't care if they make a lot of money but it's a HUGE turnoff to me to not be a driven person. Have goals. Work your ass off. Pursue your passions. That's how I am.

If that financially secure guy hit some bad times and was all of sudden broke ass guy, would you stay and work with him as a partner (support him if you had too)? Or would you leave?

Of course I would stay and I would do what I had to do for him but I would expect him to be trying to get things back together. Just as he would expect of me.

My initial statement is *of course* true

It's just that for some people it's an unconscious process

Irrelevant. What were his prospects at the time? I would say you saw future potential for income. Kind of like buying a stock when it is low and knowing it will rise. Women do this all the time, including the one i am currently with.

sorry to brake your vision that all women are the same, but I just liked him for who he was.
