| Hey guys help me out here. I have notice amoung my group of single friends and myself that the ones who have a lower income or are in some kind of termoil seem to get more attention then thoes of us who are making a living and have less baggage. Most of the mens profiles that I have read say they are not looking for women with hang up's or baggage, yet that doesn't seem to be the case. Please let me know your opinion.
Thanks

| Not in my opinion, no. I'm not looking for someone i have to rescue. I'm actually lookin for someone financially independent. Around here, that is pretty hard to find.

| I don't believe that is true.However once in a relationship,the significant other, unloads the unknown baggage as they get more comfortable. For example,if you're trying to meet someone you don't want to tell them about all your troubles. Most would be turned off. Then on the flip side, there's the "poor ol' me" senario.This where someone is hoping to find someone to help them with their troubles. Hope this helps.

| I agree with you,& hell no it makes NO sense! the only thing i figure is it's the knight in shinging armour/ caveman syndrome!  When i meet new ppl. i'm upfront about my situation not for sympathy but just so whoever is aware of my situation. It usualy takes all of 2 seconds to get the poor thing let me fix it b.s. I make it perfectly clear that I do not need a sir lacelot, i will toss him on his ass & take off on the horse myself!! the only guys i can imagine would be attracted to the "poor me" type is control freaks who want a weak woman!!!! they figure if they swoop in & "take charge" they're in charge. not for me thanks!!!

| Ariesblond,
Most of the men in our age range have been through that before. We have all saved someone only to have them leave us when they felt saved enough. We have no desire to save anyone again.

| I attempt to stay away from woman who are in need of protection and or rescue.
They are a distraction to the harmony ,contentment and development of a stable relationship .
An equal or better ,in the the department of mental ,emotional and physical qualities and attributes help to make life together more enjoyable ,relaxing and stmulating.
Always trying to solve issues of inequalities causes emotional heartache ,mental anxiety and physical hardships .
A woman that can organize her hang up's and coordinate her baggage is far more appealing than a woman who's hang up's are scattered and who's baggage is tattered and torn.
We all have issues that need attention . Having the tools necessary ,ie ,emotional, mental and physical qualities and knowing how best to use them determines the state of our quality of life.
Three women in my life were in need of rescue.The relationships were a nightmare.

| A man who has things going on i.e. stability, good job, and other things going for himself are more than likely not choose women with baggage. (bird's of a feather flock together) Talk is cheap, actions speak. It's no different than when a man (not all men) tells a woman he loves her during a short period of time just to have sex. Sometimes men say anything in attempts to get what they want.
The more things a man brings to the table, the less tolerance for BS, Baggage, Drama, hence he will not be attracted to date women who can't bring much positives to the table.
Conversely, the less a man can bring to the table, he will be more inclined to date the description herein which you described. Birds of a feather flock together.
