I am poor and overweight, how do I find a girlfriend?

It seems like all ladies want diamonds and gifts, but I can only provide the basics. What do I do?

    Stop hanging out with gold-diggers, there are plenty of women of substance out there but you just have to be particular, take your time. Being poor? Not a crime. Overweight? This you can change. Good Luck!

    Not all of us want diamonds and gifts. Some of us are perfectly happy with just the basics. If you are truly a decent guy, you will end up with someone special regardless of your financial status or weight. Meeting that person would probably give you the drive and confidence to make the changes you would like to. But in the meantime, work on your financial situation. It shows that you are responsible, which to me is an attractive quality in a guy, and that you can take care of yourself before you try to support others. It's always good, especially while you are single and don't have other responsibilities, to work a lot while you have the chance. Both to be able to provide for the basics, and to be able to put a lot of it aside for the near future. It's a smart thing to do.

    Maybe you can meet more girls if you become more physically active. Take a step in helping yourself become healthier, and maybe it will lead you to people who either share the same interests or admire you for what you are doing and who you are.

    Like the rest of us, I'm sure your perfect partner will come along eventually. In the meantime, put the focus on taking care of you and making yourself happy and feel good!

    You can be charming even with not much money. Get yourself a job and work hard to improve yourself. Enrol at an evening class in something that you enjoy or to improve your education. This could also be a way of meeting someone with a shared interest. Make sure you are always clean and tidy and use a deoderant as just washing does not mean you dont perspire. Perhaps take up a sport like walking or cycling this would also pass your time and give you an interest. If you have an interest it will help you when you do meet someone as you will have something to talk about. The evening classes may be subsidised by your local council. It does not cost much to walk or cycle and if you did meet someone you could ask someone to come on a bike ride or a walk. Look in your local library for maps and routes of interest. Always take water or refreshments incase you do get lost. If you do meet people and someone interested you pay them compliments and you can buy small thoughtful gifys without them being expensive. If you work hard you may not be poor forever Good Luck.

    Number 1: Don't ever put yourself down. Don't feel that you ever have to announce to anyone that you are poor and overweight. A real person would not be bothered by it. Plus, all of us have some type of insecurity on some level in one way or another.

    Number 2: Be self confident---Never belittle yourself or feel you are "beneath" someone, this can be detected and manipulated.

    Number 3: Take the time to look for ladies that have the same interest as yourself. Don't be so hung up on all the pretty girls at the beach or at the mall with all the bags. These are the types that you are more than likely referring to as the "diamonds and gifts" types. You may be looking so hard for someone fabulous, that you don't recognize the down-home, laid back girl they you may have grew up with or went to school with. Just sit back and observe someone before you approach them. Oh yeah, don't look at her outside appearance alone. If she is all about the designer shoes, bags and clothes, chances are she is a "gold digger" Hope this helps.

    First, there is no need for you to seek external confidence and value. Find the good in yourself! You have it! Second, well, thats just not true. While many of todays females do want to have money poured over them, there are still many who do not. Don't be so focused on what you don't "have", because it really dosen't matter. Let them come to you.. Good Luck!

    I believe to be truly happy you must be happy with yourself. So, fixing the things in our life and then things will begin to fall into place and that special person will come. And yes there are women out there who are just fine with the basics as long as you love that person money and glitz does not matter (I am one of them!)

    you may do some thing about the undesirable bit and the fat bit - get a job and lose some weught. seems dont remember in a bloke. in reality, being a competent service, liking and searching after your self and others is goog, and so is a sense of humour. I wouldnt date some fat bloke although large he replaced into - because in case you get your self in that way you may be somewhat lazy and cant quite like/seem after your self
