There ya go.
What a low res meme to get blocked over
Some are very easy to get, but you don't want those
Looking past the humorous element of the post, it's important to acknowledge that the post isn't necessarily true. It's important to realize that fictional girls are easy to fawn over because they're designed to present the idea of a person instead of a person in themselves.
Real people have bad habits, they're annoying or bothersome sometimes, they get tired or groggy, they get irritable, they get lazy. These are crucial human traits, and without any of these, you're arguably missing a vital human experience. In anime, girls are presented without these traits, or if these traits are present, they're shown in a way that's romanticized such that they appear cute or appealing. Take, for instance, a tsundere. If you imagine, truly imagine, that an anime tsundere were real, can you imagine how frustrating it would be to have to deal with their behavior on a daily basis?
To be clear, I'm not necessarily against this sort of caricaturization in media, otherwise I wouldn't be in this com. I bring this up because I worry that younger people are increasingly not acknowledging this difference between fictional and real people, and are comparing real people to a fictional standard, leading to a variety of toxic and misogynistic behaviors.
I don't know about that one. Get a place of your own and be a little bit social. In my experience, the girl thing just happened like that. It's like they can smell house vibes.
Ofcourse, it takes money to have your own place😂
Trick is to find a gem with a few bedrooms and sublet. I got a little lucky I guess in that I liked to paint cars and that business has a massive overhead cost. I was never in the black or even green really, but rent was less significant against my business expenses. I could leverage my skills to stretch my paint supplies if I had a roommate come up short. Plus the used car lots I worked for exposed me to a lot of people that needed a place close by and often lacked transportation in general. I used them as runners for bigger jobs I did from a home shop in the back yard.
Getting started with a business like that is hard. I was given a few thousand dollars to start off, but I mostly had to deal with expanding over time where I would buy some new thing or products when a job I had could pay for the tool or thing.
Still the recession of 2007 - 2008 killed the used car market for several months in a row, even at the most scammy 'buy-here pay-here' lots, and took me out.
2007 was 18 years ago. I don't know if your experience in starting a business and buying a house translates to the current economic situation. (Also... the regional/national situations of the other commenter, which they didn't specify, making it very hard to write a relevant response.)
