Emmy Loves Wine

Poor guy seeks love.

Dear Emmy,

Is it really possible for a poor guy to find a true love? 

Yours,

Mr. Nice Guy

Hi Nice Guy,

Firstly, your question can be taken two ways. I will address both possibilities. I think your are asking if a “nice” guy can find true love. Every one’s heard the saying “Nice guys finish last” uttered by many guys. I’ve also heard many girl lament over the fact that they cannot  find a “nice guy”. Let’s be real though, nice is boring. There are plenty of “nice” people out in the world, and I’m sure they can all find a way to interact with each other. What’s really hard is finding someone you have a real connection with, and that person not ending up being insane, an asshole, or if your lucky (like me) a combination of the two. The point is, that whether the nicest person in the world, or Hitler’s second cousin you are capable of finding love. People step in shit all the time. You never know who you could meet on this crazy planet we call Earth. Basically, keep an open mind, but in the mean time keep doin’ your thang. And remember love always punches you in the face when you least expect it.

PS- If your question meant “poor” in a lack of finances sort of way then the answer is yes. Women get suckered into relationships with men who can’t afford to buy them a double cheeseburger on the dollar menu all the time. I’ve dated broke guys, my friends, have dated broke guys,  and my mother married broke guys. Women will put up with almost anything for a variety of reasons. Being broke doesn’t help, but it’s never been the singular cause of any of my break-ups or any body’s break-up that I have ever known. It’s when broke-ness is combined with asshole-ness that bitches get dumped, and subsequently lose out on finding love.
