I don't think anyone is hopeless, I think it takes a lot of patience & attentiveness towards someone we care about to ever figure this out. Even if I just hug that person once a year, the context still matters.

I’ve never had a relationship and I’m 30 now which means every thing bad about me including lack of relationship experience gets worse and worse every year.
Every year older means women are less likely to accept a unemployed guy who lives with family and doesn’t drive. It might been acceptable to some women at 18-25 but it drops to near zero after that.

There’s no help for me. Government is content with getting people min wage jobs. Nothing more. They tried to get me slightly above min wage but 3 years and no one wanted to hire someone with no experience they were about to give up on me ever finding work when this job called back.
Employers can get tax right offs for hiring people like me and still no one wanted me.

It's not at all likely any women would even know me. I'm quite grateful to have been proved wrong even if it just creates more confusion.

Maybe you can be a court translator.

Do you live in a city?

I've been trying to break into translating for years. But despite Arabic supposedly being in demand, I could never find anybody who wanted to hire me. The problem with jobs like court translators is that I won't get paid for several months until they finally have a case they need an Arabic translator for, at which point I would have to drop whatever prior commitments I've made in order to work one or two afternoons. It's simply not sustainable.

Perhaps you could teach Arabic in an English speaking country or English in an Arabic country.

I'm not in any relationship, I simply know someone whose presence I appreciate because we're good friends. She may have different troubles of this sort to figure out & considering the politics all of us have to live with, I'm giving both of us some time. In a country with privacy, I think we're becoming increasingly private towards each other. That's only a state of mind though. Miscommunication as a result of love isn't necessarily bad, it's just cause for introspection.

Well what did you expect? You can't demand more than a minimum wage when you have no experience in that field.

What? I said they won’t hire anyone without experience, making it hard to get experience to be hired.

Well, I have used a levant dialect, I hope Fnord won’t be able to translate that.

You need experience or qualifications to get a job that will make you more than min wage. The easiest ways to get experience are volunteering or knowing people in the industry you want to work in that can hook you up with a job. You can even do research to find decent jobs that statistically speaking have part-time hours available since that's probably what you'd be after. With the motivation and follow-through, you can get a better job, but you've got to want it.

Last year I was rejected by a Korean woman who said things like "you'll blow your load in two seconds". She's the only single Asian woman I've met in several years. I know a guy who had a Vietnamese co-worker set him up with her niece, but being a Christian was one of the requirements.

I don't know any single African women. In fact, it's been quite some time since I rarely ever meet women who are from there. Nobody in the Muslim community is an option since I'm not a Muslim.

How often do you go out and meet new women?
