Not a loser, OP. Maybe immature, but not a loser.

Wow. Since when did the bar drop so low that women should now be impressed with men who are employed? This is so sad. Glad my own (much higher) standards reflect my self-worth.

+1, but that's a scrub.

This is a loser.

It's kind of a given depending on your circle I guess. To each his/ her own.

There are lots of people in newsrooms and nonprofits who do not earn $100K.

I wouldn't date someone who wouldn't date someone who plays video games, so I guess it works out in the end.

- Still under the umbilical cord of mom or dad
- Is an incel
- Is older than 6 and is a "picky eater."

The job, income, hobbies, are irrelevant.

1. Unattractive and not rich.
2. Hot, but he’s an ex.

I love this line: he currently only makes 100k.

You should leave him alone so he can mature and find a better person than you to share his life with.

No job, bad teeth and a small penis.

The red flag is that his mom routinely does stuff for him. If you marry him, you become the new mom. Some people are okay with that. I am not.

Doesn't make him a loser, but it is a red flag.

that's not a loser, that's a dork.

How do you know a guy is a loser?

I’m dating a 29 year old who has a masters degree in a liberal arts field, has been consistently employed since he graduated and gets promoted every year even though he currently only makes 100k. He works a lot and seems capable in his profession.

The red flags that seem loserish to me:
- beholden to his mom. Must see family twice a week. It’s very hard for him to break engagements with them.
- his mom buys him clothes. He never shops for himself.
- she also texts him to remind him to get his hair cut and go to the dentist.
- his friends are so immature. Either underemployed or are just not ready to settle down at all. Approaching 30 and none of them are married.
- he doesn’t have any hobbies or passions outside his job. He plays video games and reads.
- eats poorly. Doesn’t excercise. Sleeps in till 1 pm on weekends.

Am I being too picky?
