I never said debt was a turn off to me. I just conceded the point that some might find debt a turnoff, whilst offering up a caveat about different kinds of debt.

Personally, couldn't give a flying fuck about it and never have.

But if the quest is for a serious long-term relationship then it's worth thinking about what the other partner might be looking from such a relationship. Stability may well be something many potential partners are looking for, and debt that isn't being dealt with could potentially make someone look less of a stable option.

Damn, that's why I'm single.
No money, no house and no ambition.

Still, I'm not on benefits, not in £5k debt, love my job and had an interview today.
So things are a lot better than they have been

$10,000 in student loan debt is minimal.
College seniors who graduated in 2009 carried an average of $24000 in student loan debt.

I don't think $10k debt is that much, but then, our mortgage is pretty high. If it were only 10k we'd be pretty happy.

Eh...get comfortable being with yourself, in your own skin, doing your own thing...and then someone else might find you interesting enough to want to get involved with you.

In other words, stop looking for a partner to make you happy and start enjoying the life you have.


And Classic...that montage is just cooooold.

He's done a good job making those signs.

By the trees and traffic, I think that is in Australia.

Yes, but then he had to live with her for six more days. I bet that was fun.
