At your age I don't see why the things you spoke of would keep you from dating. You are young....just put yourself out there. It's a date, not a wedding proposal.

Stay away from girls who are going to judge you based on those things! They will only hurt you.

I personally wouldn't date a guy who doesn't have his shyt together but some will. Plus due to your age I wouldn't date you I am 25 and I only date guys who are between 30 and 35. My fiancé is 32.

Different strokes for different folks, eh? You won't date this guy but you will become engaged to a guy who wants you to go out of the house showing off your bits? Classy.

Yea because like most 26 year olds he ain't got his shyt together. My fiancé may want me to show a little more skin but at least he has his shyt together. We just bought our first house and we both drive very nice cars. My fiancé has also had the same job for 10 years and works hard. I also work 40+ hours a week. I wouldn't want to be with a guy who can't keep up with my cash flow. If your making less than I do it's a deal breaker and I clear a good chunk of change at my job every two weeks. I don't want a man who can't provide while I help with the bill payments. You can think what you want your choice. I just know that I want a man who can provide for me and a future family and a part time job wouldn't provide.

I think we may have gotten away from the OP's original meaning of this thread. There were good insights, but again its about personal opinion and preference. The key is PREFERENCE. Every one has them. I prefer older men. I happened to find a nice younger man in my life. It just HAPPENED that way.

Also, when it comes to the material things in life, it seems we have gone beyond the days of Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman" Okay that might not be the best example, but I hope you get my point. It just isn't like that. Society kind of shaped the way we view relationships and people now. and honestly there is nothing wrong with wanting to be with someone on your own level.

When it comes down to it OP its what makes YOU happy. Maybe POF isn't the right place for you to look for someone. Companionship comes in so many forms. You can find people here, PenPal World (writing letters is so wonderful) or chat programs like Paltalk which I enjoy because its all about connecting. And that's just the online part. You said you work part-time so I am sure you have some money to get involved with something in the local community or a group activity you enjoy. I joined the Star Trek Meet Up Group and got involved with my local Baha'i Center.

All I am saying is connecting with people can get you further than just hanging out on a dating site. Look at your options. I am sure you have a lot more to bring to the table than what you described. And whatever these girls are demanding, that's okay. Its just what they are looking for in a partner. Like some of the posters said just wanting someone to be on your level is not a lot to ask for. We all hope to find someone to want us for who we are rather than what we have and hopefully you do find someone who likes you for YOU.

Good luck to you. Just look in different places, that's the best advice I can give you.

Thank you!!! Finally someone gets it!

Balance your equations of life.

Good point Platinum Heart, it's all about preferences. And looking for someone at your own level is a better idea than trying to go for people who might have totally different expectations and standards. And I agree about building friendships and getting to know people in the community. I recommended meetup to many people on here. As well as volunteering etc

I can't think of any good reason why you shouldn't be dating. You don't have to go out and find THE ONE right now. Everyone needs a little practice. And don't be insecure about your place in life. You're a millennial. It's the new normal. We all have to accept that at some point.

Don't forget to remove my other posts too!

You have to eliminate the "bad problem" roots and all, like a weed.

Huh??? I'm confused.

Look darlin, if you constantly compare yourself to the "standards" of other people I can promise you you'll never be happy. Everyone has their own ideas as to what "success" is. The trick is to be someone YOU can love and live with. Once you do that, you'll more than likely find someone who loves you for who you are too!

You are young. That is a big advantage. Lots of time to explore and have fun. So... Explore and have fun.
