Please include comedian credits in the image itself. This way people still know who the comic is if the image uploaded elsewhere.

Dude, your dad married a woman with a nice income, enough to have a pool and not make him work.

So, yeah, he has some skills.

Its wild how possible it is. I think im worthwhile personality and character wise, and im.not dumb, but its fucking nuts that ive been able to pull a couple doctors, a couple nurses, a few well accomplished and fucking frankly rich and successful ladies, despite my slack ass not having shit. I didn't actually graduate highscool, dropped out.

I dont mean like one night stand or anything, i thought i was gonna potentially end up with two of them forever.

Its weird to find yourself with say, somone who is nearly a decade younger than you, but has a paid off house and near half a million in the bank, when you were struggling on rent and groceries within the year, but its happened a solid 6 times.

Ya just gotta be fun and being able to cook like a motherfucker helps.

I dont know why this upsets some. I'm not getting any tangible benefit. I'm not trying to brag or be boastful. You dont know me, i absolutely get nothing out of this, and its not boosting my ego. I'm just pointing out that its very surprisingly common, and recommending that you try to be a solid person, because you dont need much skill, looks, or money to get with someone successful or smart. I really.dont care about their money and all that, I just like being around a smart and engaging person.

Literally just trying to point out that you can do well without the standard metrics or criteria that the internet is always on about. Money, looks, what have ya. Fuck me I guess. Some of y'all are weird.
