> Okay...I am going to likely be pounced upon as sexist, or devaluing women...or whatever. But...I went into Wal-Mart tonight, had to pick up a few things, stuff. So I get to the checkout, and their is this sweet looking girl behind the till, trudging along for her 6 and whatever dollars an hour. I try to be very nice, and strike up conversation with her. We actually turned out to know a few of the same people. Then she gives me this look of death, like I am something disgusting or something. Why didn't she take warmly to me?
I am a guy who makes far plenty enough money so a gal like that (who could be say, a date?) wouldn't ever have to work at Wal-Mart-Mart. I never, ever EVER show off for it's sake, but I handed her my Gold Visa, and she asked about where I was working. I told her I was a clinical social worker. Then she just threw the stuff at me and basically said.."get out of my way". Can't impress women with intelligence and wit, so I 'hint' I can be a good provider of everything..be responsible...all of that stuff. Just can't win.:-(> **Warning** Lots of whining ahead....

> Well, this seems to be a trend. I see a lot of single mothers, and I see a lot of the men woman choose. Gaawwdd..you know, I am doing exercise and weight loss, and like I said, I am set for life money wise...I have not a worry there.Hi Jay, sorry to come out of nowhere, but I have lurked in general for a long time; posted for a spell a few years ago; and amongst many other people's threads, have followed yours with interest.
I'm just wondering if, in regard to the above, I've gotten things mixed up over time. I thought I recalled that a very real part of the problem in a fairly recent relationship was that the girl (ok, woman, whatever!) didn't seem prepared or willing to hold up her end of things financially or career-wise, and that was not something you could or would work with..?
Sorry if that feels intrusive, I'm just trying to get the circumstances straight, as I hope maybe someday I can contribute something that will be useful.
Best,
CQ
