My brother told me he broke up with his ex girlfriend recently.

"Good riddance," I told him. "I heard she had nothing going on for her anyway."

He was taken aback and demanded that I tell him who I heard this from. I told him that wasn't important...what's important is that he finally realized that he needed to stop wasting time with dumbass tricks who don't know how the fuck to grow up.

That's the problem with so many of my close friends and even family members these days...they waste all their time, money, and investments on individuals who don't have anything going for themselves. They have no cars, no jobs, no education, no prospects, no anything. Nothing.

I'm sorry if I sound pretentious, but I don't give a fuck--it's a huge turnoff for me when someone has no direction in life. It shows me that you refuse to grow up and you need a huge fucking reality check. Even if you're just with someone temporarily to "have fun," I myself would rather have fun with someone I know will bring something to the table, financially and intellectually. If someone was a total ditz and a child, what kind of a companion would they be? I'd feel like their mother, both a toddler mother and a sugar mama. If you can't afford to be in a relationship literally, then don't be in one. I'd never be okay with my SO paying for everything while I just sit there eating it all up, milking it for all I can while I don't bother to go out and get a job. And not just for the relationship's sake, but to just behave like a functioning adult in general. It makes me question what kinds of goals people have for themselves and if they believe in their goals, if they even have any. Then I assume they're content with being kids for the rest of their lives.

Thank God I refuse to be in a relationship. I'm too poor to care about anyone but myself.
