Posted: 5/4/2006 11:47:42 PM | I have had very good jobs, had lots of stuff and got rid of lots of stuff. But as I remain single I am not at all interested in crap any more. I am as a matter of fact about to quit my job!!!
At one time I owned about a million dollars worth of tools and equipment, had a shop and worked my ass off. But I wont have someone who would dump me because of hard times or anything like that because life is not a bed of roses all the time.
So get bent, get your own job! Its the age of equal rights, the women can support the men now.
I say ALL men should go on STRIKE...NO SEX...just grab your mags and head to the can... | |

Posted: 5/5/2006 7:36:16 AM | Well a few years ago I had everything then gave it all away cause theres not much point in having anything if your single and always have been....
So now I am thinking not much point in having a job either.
Maybe some other poor SOB needs it, he might have a wife and kids.
5 years ago I owned 8 cars and trucks over a mil and was content but single, 6 years ago I had a drunken high and mighty artificial as they came shallow bitoh for a gf. When she pissed me off (a week after she moved in) by destroying my living room and all its contents, I told her to take her phony ass and get out.
After that I didn't give a sh*t, I gave everything away...Over a mil in tools and crap, all my cars and trucks, all my household stuff like tv's and audio equip... And decided to never go out with a hard bodied silicone breasted chik again...lol
Now I have 1 truck, 1 car, HDTV and my computer and soon to have a six pack in the fridge so I can kik back and enjoy my 44 inch wide screen.
The rest of the time I can entertain myself watching all the morons strugle with being loosers...
If your my age and your still single it is a sign that you have defects so get over it and off your high horse!!! | |

Posted: 5/5/2006 10:42:04 AM | I think the point is motivation. I am someone who has busted my ass held a job since i was 13 so i could carve out a life and get out of poverty as my family eventually did. This means most of my life i have worked and all thru my formative years. Thus it has an effect on my developement and my psyche. I am a worker, i make things happens and am always building up my life so I dont have much in common with those who irk their way thru life.
It drives me nuts cause I like to be on the move. While there is nothing wrong with those who are happy with their status quo and have no ambition, I am happy when improving myself and my life. So I tend to gravitate towards people of ambition cause it is a large part of who i am. If someone has motivation and ambition then what they make does not matter because in time they will grow. The phrase "money can't buy happiness" seems to be uttered predominantly by those who have never been in the clutches of poverty.
Money can't guarantee happiness but i guarantee you wont be happy with no money. With no food, clothes or shelter you will not be happy. Combined with ability to do things-vacation, have luxuries etc more money does increase happiness up until a point. (Studies show a direct correlation between lack of money and depression up until around $80k Can)
In a relationship, keeping equivalent power/workload is important. If one person does the lions share all the time they will grow resentful. Does not need to be matched finances, but it needs to be matched amibitions. | |

Posted: 5/5/2006 2:11:18 PM | everyone goes through a mediocre grunt job or two in their lives, if it's a transition thing or a part-time gig while going to school i have absolutely no judgements. but when someone considers his micky d's drive thru window job a lifetime ambition and career then ya gotta wonder a little.
that aside...blue collar, white collar doesn't matter...as long as you can support yourself, do something you enjoy, and actually have a little direction in your life. | |

Posted: 5/5/2006 10:03:39 PM | | I think it all depends on the passion you have for your job. Personal growth is important to me and without it life becomes mundane. In some respects our jobs define us of who we are so dating a guy with little aspirations doesn't appeal to me. It's really not about the money - it's about maximizing your potentials. My job isn't high-end either but I love what I do and it has taught me a lot about myself. I think that's what's important. | |

Posted: 5/6/2006 8:38:03 AM | I had passion for my job but can't help but think I am tired of working. I have worked my but off since I was a little kid... I bet more than most We had a wood stove upstairs and a wood furnace down, I had to split wood everyday and pack in and stack extra outside in the wood house. I ahd to buck logs and stack them too. At 4:30 every morning the family milk cow had to be milked and the chickens, geese and ducks had to be feed. The horses had to be fed, the cattle had to be tended, hay had to bailed and stacked. buildings had to be maintained, equipment had to be repaired, fences mended....the list goes on...
I haven't stopped working since I was 5 years old...I am tired!!! I need a break 
People seem to think the only way to be fit is to be a gym-pansi...And the only quality in a man is his pay check and his posesions...Well bite me! Cause I got rid of everything! I am getting ready to go on a vacation for the next 25 years, unless someone wants me for love.  | |

Posted: 5/6/2006 8:50:42 AM | I am an ambitious, moderately aggressive, business-type. I just can't relate to someone without ambition. It doesn't necessary have to be job-related ambition but at least something. While I am not driven towards material posessions, I do like my comforts. It's not the money I make, it's the daily challenges presented by the work I do. Challenge is important to me.
So...fellas should be employed, love what they do and are driven by at least something. Whatever work you do, be the best at it. A guy that works so he can afford to buy beer to get drunk on the weekend is just not up to snuff.

Our society puts too much emphasis on haveing the new shiney thing to define you as a successful person.
I think people should just chill out and look for what is truely essential to them. | |

Posted: 8/4/2006 1:56:37 PM | You know over the course of this thread alot of people have made alot of presumptions about the peron quoted in the OP's post.
We have someone who came out and said, in essence "I have what I consider a good job, and would like to be with someone else who does".
This person came out and really did nothing more that say something was important to her and she would like to share her time with someone who feels the same way. And yet, here are her words being posted for all to see, taken out of context and judged as "shallow".
Fact is the person quoted did little more than honestly state something that was important to her.
On PoF you see alot of profiles giving alot of bogus information about what people are interested in. They say they like this or that but because they are saying "I'm looking for someone who likes the outdoors" they aren't judged.
If the girl in the original post had said "I'm looking for someone who is goal oriented" or "career minded" I doubt the accusations of "shallow" would have followed.
But I guess as long as she's saying she likes what *you* like it's all good.
The person in the OP's quote was being honest about what she likes and looks for, how many people out there state they are looking for someone "honest" in thier profiles? Just because you do not share this person's values does not make them shallow in the least.
Alot of people say they are "christian" in thier profiles. I don't agree with their religion, but I'm not going to hop on the forums to assualt thier values and say they are shallow for posting what they are interested in and how they may be missing out on something by not thinking the same way as I do.
Just my two gp. | |
