In case you ladies needed a reminder that a man will literally spend his last penny trying to impress you if he truly likes you

Me too. I was dead broke in my 20s and spent years taking whatever job I could find (waiting tables, bartending, retail, answering phones). I've done it all, because I had to eat.

Who are all these men who can simply not work? Mommy and Daddy must be bankrolling them.

I used to edit photos for wannabe influencers back when I couldn't find a job! There's always something you can do.

current situation): i’m in college

A man will apply for a job he has no chance of getting because he believes he deserves no less than being the CEO.

A woman will not apply for a position she is totally qualified for because she doesn't believe she is worth it.

Girl, channel the energy of a mediocre man!

what a doofus!!

i’ve really been trying to act like i own the place at my new job…telling myself everytime i step foot in the door that this place could not exist without me. it’s kind of awesome, i’ve gotten everything i’ve wanted so far, including negotiated a raise! part of me feels so uncomfortable (i guess that’s imposter syndrome) but i try to sit with it and keep moving forward.

may we ALL develop the Audacity. 🤣

stay strong, queens! be ruthless. i want to see the weath gap CLOSED within my generation, we have ~40 years: let’s go! 💥

He prob has (rich) parents/family who support him

💯 Particularly avoid unemployed engineers who can’t rub two nickels together!

The professions I’d personally avoid dating are: cops, the military, actors, professional athletes past or present, pilots, litigators, surgeons, and firefighters - for different reasons than a brokie engineer, but no less valid. Period!

As someone who's dated two professional rugby players, I'd add athletes to that list.

Engineers and other very technical-based advanced degree-requiring jobs tend to attract men who are VERY full of themselves, are used to being the "smartest" person in the room, often aren't terribly adept socially or emotionally and tend to have little experience with women. It's a stereotype that is rooted in truth.

Obviously there are exceptions. But as a rule I wouldn't just go, "oh, an engineer, must be so smart and successful!" It's possible he is. But it's also possible he's a massive narcissist who will try to one-up you in every single win you get, no matter how menial, try to make you feel stupid or inept, and more.

Just tread carefully is what I'm saying.
