Keep in mind that the guys you mentioned are lucky. They should count their blessings of being single as opposed being with women who are there mainly for the money.
No decent woman will break up with a man JUST because of lack of money. There must be other issues. And if it was JUST financial decision, than both dudes were "dating" hookers that were out of their price range.
Woman / girls want stability, that is true, but the time when a man was the sole provider and the woman stayed home to babysit and cook/clean has long passed.
Seriously, congratulate both of your friends and tell them that there are plenty of great, sexy, smart, terrific and not money hungry women in Vancouver.

And no, my friends are not gangsta wannabes or uneducated bums, but they're definitely not doctors or lawyers. I'd peg them both as "average working class". It really did shake my world as I have been joking all year about who's getting engaged/hitched next, and suddenly Bam this happens.
In both cases above, the girl "ran out of patience" with the guy. One guy rents a place but lives on his own. The other one is in the lineup for the Mechanics program at BCIT but that doesn't start until 2011, so he's just working side jobs here and there. In case 1, my understanding is that the girl was asking my friend why he didn't buy a place yet, and when they can get married etc. Well actually, I heard something along those lines for Guy #2 too. 
In my early 20s, the girls always just went for the guy who was more "cool" with the flashier cars or whatever, but now that many of my friends are approaching their 30s (if not there already), oh wow there has been quite a shift in the mentality of the girls they're dating.
I was just chatting with 1 of those friends, and he mentioned that after he recovers, he's only going for younger girls. Says there's too much pressure, especially when he's in the middle of a career transition.
Just seeing what your thoughts/inputs are, or if you have a story to share. And no, I'm not Joe45.  |
