    Hello !

    So many replies to a simple thread.

    My solution was answered in the first few posts. The benefit calculator has helped a lot. Thank you.

    But after ready all the replies here. I must go on to give my own opinion to some of the responses here.

    Firstly, income, work, career and taking on extra training / study. These are some of the suggestions mentioned above. Now i don't know much about what everyone does here, but working 7 days a week doesn't appeal to me. The word "boss" actually means that person is in charge of you, you been the slave, the word worker actually means robot. (Google) i refuse to be a slave or a robot. I don't need to be Rich, i just need enough to survive on and if i can get help with that its good for me. I am happy to work part time. The only reason i work full time is because i have to as i live with parents. However when i move out i may drop to part time as it suits me better.

    The kind of person i am:
    Am not a people person, people out side / customers / my work place chat to me and to be fair am just not interested. People who know me get to know what am like pretty quick and eventually stop bothering me, i like that. Am more than happy on my own, watching tv, go out on my bike / running and play on the computer. Money does not motivate me. I don't need to go traveling, i can view places on google, eat at the Chinese restaurant down the road and then skype random people in any country i like. Why bother working to spend 50 weeks working just to have a week or two holiday ?? I personally don't see the point of that. Work wise, i hate getting up for work at stupid o clock, specially when its cold, am always the last one in to work and the first one out.

    Am not going to study or take any evening classes, this also costs money, to train up to be again a slave for someone else. Its like been programmed to do the work for someone else to profit more than yourself, i.e the investors, company owners and the like. No thank you. I soon get bored, so sticking to something i like is very hard indeed. Thus working for myself will soon become boring. I do t like doing the daly grind. The same thing just different say, it happens with all jobs. And even if it doesn't i just not interested in the people around me. I have tried to change and get on with people but always fail. Getting up on a morning and working gets me down and i feel unhappy. I like to do what i want to do each day. I am not depressed, i am more than happy doing my own thing, and not been told what to do or having any pressure put on to me. I hate pressure , therefore i really don't qualify for many jobs. You can only assume correctly that my chance of promotion at my work place is a no go area. You are not payed to do a job, you are payed also to act, speak and move how the boss sees fit. Thats not for me !

    So now you know a bit about me, you will know that the idea of working oversea, and living at my work place makes me feel sick, and the idea of actually owning a home and having 90k plus of debt would make me feel suicidle.

    Women:

    As for women. In my opinion, Women are here to reproduce, not to work, not be more successful than a male, but to look after kids. The male does the work. The troubble is women are been given too much power, they now choose the male, they now have the money and work to be independent and leave the male. They also use sex as a weapon. This in all slows down reproduction. The women should stay at home.

    I dont agree that women choose a male, the male should choose the women. And thats exactly what i do. A successful business women may not choose me, but i would not choose her for reasons i have mentioned above. The kind of women i choose are low on self confidence, don't have much a d wont have much, the kind of women who agrees the man takes control. They are less likley to leave also. I am happy to settle down with this type of women.

    The buesiness women look nice yes, with there boots and skits ect, but i don't choose them for a relationship. At the end of the day they have to let their hair down, weekends in the clubs, when they have one too many and thats when you take advantage of the sort. And thats all thats needed to be fair. The ones that i settle with are ones who don't have an answer back. Its common phycology to be honest. So saying that a women wont look at me in my 30 / 40 years is a joke. I don't relay on them looking at me or wanting me, i take the ones who need me because they have nothing else. Win win.

    The kind of friends i have and my social circle was mentioned. My social circle is make up of quiet, low self esteem people, i stand out with them, hence i attract girls that are also like that.

    As for the car, i need the car at the moment, but when i get my own place i will probably ditch it. Or buy a ten year old run about.

    Honesly the comments on extra income and jobs and training made me laugh. Some people must be working so,e right hours and then they moan because they pay too much tax !!! No body is forcing anyone to work ! If you decide to go to uni or other study and have it programmed in to you to work for other peoples benefit that is your own problem.

    Just my opinions there.

    Thank you for the replies and the help.
  • I find this rather stereotyping and a tad offensive. I am female, I have no interest in having children. I equally don't care how much money someone has, in fact I earn a very good wage myself.

    It may be stereotyping, but it is my personal experience.
    Yes, I know lots of women like you (independent etc).
    But in my personal experience, as I have got older, women have expected more of me.

    A lot of the women in my own age group are now married etc.
    So the single women left tend to be younger than me.
    And in my experience, a woman of 20 expects more support from a man of 35.

    I was giving the OP my opinion, based on my personal experience.

    Yes, in an ideal world, every one would form a relationship with someone similar to themselves. But in my experience, that changed as I got older.

    Wow. Just...wow.
    You don't want a full time job, but also don't want your future girlfriend/baby machine to work. And you are counting on her never leaving you because her low self esteem will keep her loyal. Sounds like you've got it all worked out. Good luck with that.
  • Wow Simon. The fact is that apart from your disgusting views about women, if you do want to live in the way you see fit then you need to earn more money. That's it really. You earn more money or you share a house. You don't get to have all the things you want and make no compromise.

    I really wouldn't worry about needing to earn enough to keep a woman and her children. I doubt you'll ever be in that situation. No decent woman wants a man with zero ambition who doesn't even want to speak to people outside of work. No-one wants a life partner who is that boring. Whilst you are young then the beer goggles will mean you'll pull in clubs from time to time - but as you get older ...... it'll get harder - and the younger types will go for guys their age over and above you -and the women your age will spot you for the loser you are and go for men with a bit of get up and go about them. Your "low esteem " mates will meet their partners and settle down and you'll be wondering how they get to be happy whilst you are the loner loser who never gets a second date and can't even find anyone to go out on the pull with anymore. You see them in the pubs and clubs - blokes in their forties- desperately hanging out with lads young enough to be their sons because they don't have any proper friends or relationships so call these acquaintances their "mates" and try not to notice their pity.

    I really hope you are a troll rather than as pathetic as you sound.

    I've been gorilla trekking in Africa before and encountered a few silverbacks and I'd pick the silverback over this troll (the OP) any day of the week. They're more erudite for a start.

    Sorry, my previous assessment of women attitude was wrong;
    You're not an alpha male, you're a bottom feeder.

    An alpha male goes for the top females, but you choose the weaker ones. If they lack self esteem there must be a reason for that...

    At least you know your place in the food chain, so you won't be wasting too much time.

    Sad thing is, I don't even think you're a troll....
