[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you can't handle working and having a serious girlfriend at the same time, how are you going to handle having two kids and a marriage at the same time?

[b]OP I think you need to accept that you need professional help for your social skills and ability to manage life. Most people are able to manage a job and a relationship or a marriage.[/b] It's going to be very hard for you dating because women will catch on that you can't handle more than one thing at a time. Life is full of surprises and you can't un-do having kids, so if it turns out the kids have really challenging needs you may need to get a job again. Will you be able to handle it?[/quote]

DCUM when I say I’d like to marry a woman who is naturally a saver, possibly (though not a requirement) with $1 million saved by age 33:  “OMG, that is extremely rare and difficult.  Any woman who achieves that is going to be very accomplished and ambitious and is not going to be interested in a man who retires early.”

DCUM when I say I’ve saved $1.1 million and paid off my condo at age 33: “That’s it?  You’re not able to do that while simultaneously navigating the modern dating scene, getting married and having kids (with 50/50 parenting and household work, of course), and keeping up with the requirements of a single-family home? You really need see a medical professional to address your inability to manage life.”

Lol, GTFOH![/quote]
