i love this economy

Quote from blackjack007:

aside from the fact many things can be purchased cheaply, such as cars, i've found there's another outstanding benefit to this shitty economy.

i'm a serial dater and i've noticed that in the last 6-9 months, it has been much easier than normal to find dates with 7's and 8's and higher. with much of the competition unemployed or underemployed, and with many women struggling to pay their bills, the few remaining guys with money suddenly are in high demand. as bad as things are, women still want their designer handbags and other useless stuff, but how many of them can afford a $1500 gucci in this economy?

when the economy was good, an attractive 22 year old women was in the driver's seat when it came to dating. no longer. virtually all the 20-28 year olds -- the age range i'm attracted to -- are unemployed, underemployed, or scared as s*** they'll lose their jobs. they can't depend on their parents because they're struggling too, and many other guys are in the same shoes. finding someone who can give them security is paramount for survival.

there's a silver lining even in this economy. i can live like this for another decade and be very happy.

I congratulate you on your ability to "make hay while the sun shines" and "to let winners ride."

Just realize that all good things come to an end....

i will enjoy it while it lasts, which will be longer than 2010. just to offset population growth, the US needs to create 100,000 jobs per month. and that's just to keep the unemployment rate even at 10%. there's over 15 million unemployed and underemployed workers now. even in the once-in-a-generation boom year of 1999, the economy only produced 2.7 million jobs. it's gonna be many many many years before things get back to 5-6%. for sure it won't be 2010! i have a few more years to milk this cow before i retire my dating career.


You got plenty of time, 4.5% unemployment rates are years and years and years away.....

The new norm will be 6-7%....

I hate to own or even use used objects, I have sometimes rented used objects for a very short period of time; like rental cars, or prostitutes, but I've never purchased used anything, not even a used house, whatever house I purchased was brand new. I don't understand why I should waste time, mind and money on a used women, I go with prostitutes because I get whatever I want just by wasting money on her used ass, but I find no reason to date a used women, I'm not going to waste time and mind on top of money, listening, talking and interacting with a nonconscious entity which is only capable of replicating the thinking and behavioral patterns of the conscious entities around her at best and has no consciousness in and of herself, and even sucks at doing so, meaning her ability to replicate those patterns is shit at best.
