Random Talk

I am short-ish, but somehow have never had that interaction.

BUT! 

I have had a girl walk out of a date when she learned I made minimum wage. Literally "oh, I forgot I promised my friends I would XYZ" and walked out. 

This isn't an incel-rage story: somehow being broke endeared me greatly to other women during the same period of my life. 

Women are truly an enigma!

I'm curious how income came up as a topic on a first date? 

Seems like you dodged a gold digger shaped bullet on that one.

I have always found the messy conditions of my life to be ripe for chattin' people up. I enjoy seeing people light up when they realize they are talking to someone who is openly comfortable with being sloppy and weird (but who still takes regular showers and isn't a tweaker).

We were talking about jobs and I was like "yeah I do this and make zero money but I like it" and she left so fast there was still a girl-shaped cloud sitting on her barstool for a few seconds afterwards.
