A woman who works min wage , lacks a car, rents a place with roommates is considered finically stable .
But

A man in the same situation is considered not finically stable, worthless and a loser not worth talking to ?

considered financially stable? lol? not even close..

if you mean in terms of dating, it's because men kind of don't care how much money a women makes. i won't elaborate on vice versa, i think it's just an old wise tale but others will disagree.

There are women who don't give two craps about that stuff--unless you get THEM into debt.

I'm told that I shouldn't go after finically stable women it women I go after either don't list their job or are min wage workers. Im told I not finically stable for not making. 20+ and hour. Yet those women working same type job are 0.o

I don't get why women are so much better for just being women

My mother happens to be in pretty much this exact situation. Except instead of renting with "mates" she's renting with her actual family. She sure as hell does not consider herself financially stable.

Where do you get these views from? Maybe if women are saying this to you it's simply an excuse because they really think that you're a boring sod and don't want to flat out say that. I mean, you're talking about bottom-of-the-barrel working-class scum here. I don't know a single person, man or women, who'd see that as financially stable.

Why is finically stable defined as middle class live alone in house you own?
Use to just mean you make enough to pay your bills

From people on this site.

:(

17 olds have relationships and gfs who live with them. I'm so worthless.

That's rare, Sly.

I've never owned a house, by the way.

It depends on the age of the girl and where they live. People in Manhattan, London, Dublin and other big cities tend not to own homes or have cars - it's very common to be in your twenties or early thirties and live in a rented apartment with a roommate. And to never, ever own a car.

15% of women are our enough to qualify for food stamps, so statistically some girl is going to be willing to date you regardless of income level. You might also wanna consider college-aged girls - they tend to be broke and not particularly with the incomes of their boyfriends (since pretty much all students/early twentysomethings are broke).

FWIW, I've never had a guy ask my income (not have I ever listed it) in an online profile, nor has a guy ever asked for it in that context (or vice-versa).

I wouldn't consider myself financially stable unless I could fully support myself and maintain my house and car with that money.

Maybe men would overlook my situation if they thought I was hot or something. But probably only desperate men. Most people who are financially stable seem to want others who are also, no matter the gender. I seriously doubt I'd have an easy time finding a normal bf if I were single, unless I had a real job.

I doubt anyone would overlook my problems and see me for who I am and not where I am right now in life.

My SSDI and my PT job is my financial stability. That, and the fact that I have a payee who takes care of my bills every month, on time.

I have many great friends who are not in financially stable situations, and I don't think any less of them. Good people fall on hard times all the time. People who judge others based solely on what the bank account looks like and what kind of home he lives in have a rather shallow train of thought.

And, no, gender has nothing to do with it. Just ask my sister, who once worked two minimum wage jobs to keep a roof over her head while she took classes in what little free time she had left.

Yeah, I would like a nice house with a nice husband, but the fact that I do not have that is not a determining factor of who I am as a human being.

You should really stop listening to people who say such nonsense, it's just adding to your anguish and confusion.

Regardless of how "financially stable" is defined, everyone's standards are their own business, whether they themselves meet them or not. If women manage to find boyfriends meeting their hypergamous standards, it's because enough men are interested in them anyway.

In other words, by default, women are much more attractive than men.
