Now that was an interesting conversation. I just talked for an hour with a man that is estranged from both his kids, doesn't have a job, lives over 100 miles away, didn't finish the building project he started, and makes t-shirts for a living. He looks kind of scruffy and cute in his photos and is a musician. He inherited a chunk of money from his parents. He regaled me with his history about how his wife sued him for child support and he didn't want to give into the court authorities (or her) so he ended up getting his wages garnished, lost his house and was on the lam as 'a dead beat dad' for years until an inheritance landed his way and he marched into the court office and paid off his debt to the state for over $60,000 so he could be cleared of it. He also nursed his son back to health after a traumatic brain injury but is estranged from him because he has no motivation to get well and has given up on his life. In an hour he just spewed out a personal history that does not exactly scream 'pick me, pick me!' to those of us open to meeting interesting men on-line. His profile was clever and soulful and funny. He does look cute in that ponytail and beard though...
