I don't understand why people think his lifestyle is generally incompatible with having a girlfriend. Of course it is incompatible with most people in the western world, but it seems some people think it is more so with women. Someone care to elaborate?
Society expect women to own more: beauty products, clothes, shoes... There is simply a lot more pressure on women to invest and diversify their appearance.
But there are women who live with far less too, even if more than what I depicted in this post.
