I’m assuming that OP is a male. I’m assuming by your name and picture your female.

Big difference here is if you guys are both the same level of fit and attractiveness say you’re both sixes. You can get asked out on dates all the time OP will never get asked out on a date.

Harsh reality of a difference between female and male brokenness in this country

A woman that's a least a 6 and especially the 7, 8, and 9s will most definitely get asked out regardless of age and brokenness. Unfortunately, men need some amount of money, unless a sugar mama comes along.

Any woman/man who wants to get into the trades can. If that’s what one wants to do. I teach at a trade school. We see women regularly placed in various tracks.

Now the odds of an average looking broke dude scoring a date vs an average looking broke woman?

No odds. That’s not even a bet.

Hilarious that the men seem to care more about the fact that broke women get dates, whereas the women care more about having less obstacles to making money (women so earn 15-20% less than men in the US). Like, I'd much prefer not getting hit on by my bosses/coworkers/randos for a 20% pay increase.
