I almost fit the bill. I've been told that I'm hot, I have impressive sounding degrees, am trilingual and my last IQ test score was enough to get into Mensa. But I don't play video games. Instead I'll work out, read books, play guitar and work on MOOCs in the basement. Also, I eat 90% Paleo and don't drink alcohol. All my friends are successful and don't have much time to hang out. Wait ... I love travel, hiking, trail running and swimming so I won't always be found in the basement. I make over $200k right now, so I expect your friend to be able to afford my current lifestyle. Do you think she would find it in her to overlook my flaws?


If you make over $200,000, why are you living in somebody's basement?


My sister did for two years - she was making 150k at amazon (age 23) and living for 550 bucks a month in a basement room in the suburbs on the east side of seattle.

she said it was too stressful getting a place on her own.

I don't. The basement is a hypothetical based on the OP's scenario.

Illiteracy - it's is everyone's problem.


So you're a hypothetically financially secure guy (makes over $200k) with apparently plenty of motivation (lots of things going on).

Why would you think your hypothetical belongs on a thread about "financially insecure, unmotivated guys"?

Illiteracy - it's is everyone's problem - including yours.

That guy has a full-time job or more--he's a stay-at-home dad. This thread isn't about him.

There was a funny New Yorker article a while back by a woman who dated aspiring rockers for ten years. Finally she got tired of waking up with the toilet paper next to her head because it doubled as Kleenex and napkins.

You definitely should go for him! Just so long as you don't get tired of supporting him after 10 years of "I have 80 likes on SoundCloud, this is so going to happen!"

If you like the stay-at-home-dad aspect of that guy, well that's a different set of choices that could make sense.


I don't mind supporting anyone financially. I make plenty of money. What kills me the s be By expected to support someone body and soul while my job is treated as a hobby. He doesn't look like he would need a lot of money anyway.


That guy probably doesn't fit the "financially insecure, unmotivated" bill. He's doing well on YouTube at least.

Plus, if somebody, man or woman, is staying home to take care of the kids, that's actually a job even if there's no salary. We're not talking about stay at home dads.

We're talking about the guys who think that just because they have 80 likes on SoundCloud they might finally get a paying gig. And don't do anything else (like take care of kids). Sorry, but if nobody wants to pay you to perform, then it actually is a hobby.
